The formal parameters of a C-- procedure are always passed in 
registers.  This suggests that there is no corresponding C-- 
representation for the following C code:

int foo (int argc)
{
    int * ptr = & argc;
    printf ("%p\n", ptr);
}

I believe it's a known issue to C-- folks, since the manual mentions no 
support for "varargs".  But it's still a little surprise.
