    [calls] Consistent call protocol for calls. · b37907ff
    bmeurer authored
    The number of actual arguments should always be available, there's no
    point in trying to optimize away a simple assignment of an immediate to
    a register before some calls.
    
    The main motivation is to have a consistent state at the beginning of every
    function. Currently the arguments register (i.e. rax or eax) either contains
    the number of arguments or some random garbage depending on whether
    the callsite decided that the callee might need the information or not.
    This causes trouble with runtime implementations of functions that
    do not set internal_formal_parameter_count to the DontAdaptArguments
    sentinel (we don't have any of those yet), but also makes it impossible
    to sanity check the arguments in the callee, because the callee doesn't
    know whether the caller decided to pass the number of arguments or
    random garbage.
