| Please note the order of arguments. It is assumed that they are placed onto the stack in reverse order. The last argument is placed on the stack first. That's why the 6th argument is at the higher address, next is the 5th argument and next there is a shadow space for arguments 1 - 4. From the perspective of a function, the first argument (or rather its shadow) is just after the return address. As the return address consumes 8 bytes, the shadow space for the first argument is at address SP+8. | Please note the order of arguments.
