I don't agree.
I saw a lot of code that used the technique of picking up the return
address to find a list of, or a set of, parameters to a routine,
allowing either the calculation of the return address (by adding total
parameter lengths as they were acquired) , or by the inclusion as one
of the parameters, of the address to return to. A kind of non-stack
call.
It was ugly, and along time ago, but it was just a style of
programming (which I never used myself).
Ugh!
