They are different, I think the value of g_return_from_proc doesn't matter
for the PowerPC. It's the size of parameters passed on the stack
and only important for the i386/m68k probably.

the parameter passed to g_stackframe_entry contains the size of the all local space which is
needed
except
that one for saving registers: the set procinfo.registerstosave (not yet implemented,
I'll commit it soon) will contain
all registers which must be saved by the entry and restored by the exit code of a procedure
and you have to add extra space to do that.



Alignment
---------

The alignment is handled very easily: treference contains a field
alignment which describes the ensured alignment for the node, possible
values: 1,2,4,8,16 (1 means unligned). The code generator must update
that field at the appropriate places and take care of it when
generating the code
