I recall using DEC's C compiler, which we called VAX C. Calling C stuff from VAX FORTRAN required jiggery-pokery and the other way was hopeless. I recall (assuming no wetware bit-rot on my part) that DEC's languages did not pass on the stack but stuffed the arguments somewhere, passing a pointer to the somewhere. N.
