>In some sense many RISCs are C processors (or maybe Pascal), ... The Berkeley RISC and the SPARC were, in practice if not in theory, designed around the PCC C compiler. The reason they used register windows was that PCC wasn't smart enough to minimize register saves. The IBM 801, designed at the same time with the much more advanced PL.8 compiler had a normal register set and load/store multiple since the compiler was able to minimize the number of registers to store.
