Recursion with register optimised parameters.

Hi all,


I was wondering how languages (like Delphi) handle recursion when their
parameter passing is optimised to use the registers.


It has been bugging me for some time now. The delphi inline assembler
documentation states that under certain conditions a stack frame is not even
created for a procedure or function.


Recursive programming requires a stack albeit dependent on the type of
recursion.


Could someone please explain.
My email address is cmain@iafrica.com.


Thanks
