// Stack Frame Processing methods
// +----------------------------+
//
// The stack is allocated decrementing the stack pointer on
// the first instruction of a function prologue. Once decremented,
// all stack references are done thought a positive offset
// from the stack/frame pointer, so the stack is considering
// to grow up! Otherwise terrible hacks would have to be made
// to get this stack ABI compliant :)
//
//  The stack frame required by the ABI (after call):
//  Offset
//
//  0                 ----------
//  4                 Args to pass
//  .                 saved $GP  (used in PIC)
//  .                 Alloca allocations
//  .                 Local Area
//  .                 CPU "Callee Saved" Registers
//  .                 saved FP
//  .                 saved RA
//  .                 FPU "Callee Saved" Registers
//  StackSize         -----------
//
// Offset - offset from sp after stack allocation on function prologue
//
// The sp is the stack pointer subtracted/added from the stack size
// at the Prologue/Epilogue
//
// References to the previous stack (to obtain arguments) are done
// with offsets that exceeds the stack size: (stacksize+(4*(num_arg-1))
//
// Examples:
// - reference to the actual stack frame
//   for any local area var there is smt like : FI >= 0, StackOffset: 4
//     sw REGX, 4(SP)
//
// - reference to previous stack frame
//   suppose there's a load to the 5th arguments : FI < 0, StackOffset: 16.
//   The emitted instruction will be something like:
//     lw REGX, 16+StackSize(SP)
//
// Since the total stack size is unknown on LowerFormalArguments, all
// stack references (ObjectOffset) created to reference the function
// arguments, are negative numbers. This way, on eliminateFrameIndex it's
// possible to detect those references and the offsets are adjusted to
// their real location.
