a call to a function that returns a vlong or structure
passes an invisible (to the c programmer) first argument
that is a pointer to somewhere to write the return value.
so the following two functions have equivalent assembly
(but different c types):

vlong
return0(void)
{
    return 0;
}

void
return0(vlong *v)
{
    *v = 0;
}
