Like heck you didn't receive an adequate response... as usual you just 
couldn't be bothered to make an ADEQUATE EFFORT and download the Aztec C 
cross-compiler for the Commodore 64 from my website... a review of that 
compiler would answer all your questions and more... here's one of my posts

Not me.

Aztec C for the C64 is a great cross-compiler as anyone who knows anything
at all about writing C programs in Windows that run on the C64 knows and it
is of course K&R.

They are passed on the stack.

The same Aztec C cross compiler works for both the C64 and Apple II... see 
link above.
