   * Minimize the number of long long parameters, as these take two argument words. This also applies to doubles if software floating-point is enabled.   * Minimize the number of long long parameters, as these take two argument words.

 +On Arm there is the "pure" keyword which tells the compiler the computation is all contained within the function so the compiler can optimize it as much as possible. Not dependent on outside variables.

 +Example:
 +<code>
 +__pure int square(int x)
 +{ return x * x;
 +}
