# 32-bit Arm

## Linux

Scratch registers are not preserved across calls, while non-volatile registers are preserved by called functions.
Usage of the VFP registers in this table assumes hard-float ABI.

|Register|System Linkage|
|--|--|
|R0|1st argument / return value|
|R1|2nd argument / return value|
|R2-3|3rd-4th arguments|
|R4-10|Non-volatile|

|R12|Scratch; Intra-Procedure-Call Register (IP)|
