Caller and callee relate to function calls. The caller is the code point that made the call to a function while the function is the callee. The callee returns control to the caller via the return address that was pushed onto the stack by the caller.

void foo() {}

int main() { foo(); }

In the minimal example above, the main function is the caller while the foo function is the callee.

What is the difference between caller save and callee save registers in terms of their impact on program performance and efficiency?

Caller save registers are saved and restored by the calling function, while callee save registers are saved and restored by the called function. Caller save registers can lead to faster function calls but may require more instructions to save and restore values. Callee save registers can lead to slower function calls but may result in better overall program efficiency by reducing the need for saving and restoring values frequently.

What is the difference between passing by value and passing by difference?

Passing by value is where you pass the actual value (be it an integer, an array, a struct, etc.) to a function. This means that the value must be copied before the function is called and therefore the value in the caller cannot be modified within the callee. Passing by reference is where a reference/pointer to a value is passed to a function. The reference often takes up less space than copying the actual value (particularly when the value is a struct or an array) and allows you to manipulate the value in the caller within the callee.
