   The evaluation order and the calling convention don't need to be tied   
   together, though. Gcc on i386 for example subtracts the required   
   number of words from %esp and then copy the arguments into place via   
   indexed indirect mov's. No idea if that is slower or faster than   
   push'ing stuff onto the stack instead, but the version of gcc I've   
   used "gcc -S" on will use the mov approach even if all arguments are   
   constants.
