How generics are implemented in Go 1.18

Until recently Go didn't even use registers for passing arguments, it just put everything on the stack like in a 1965 textbook (https://go.googlesource.com/proposal/+/refs/changes/78/24817...)

If you mean for function calls, I believe you're correct, not taking into account inline functions.

However, for code generation Go obviously uses registers since way before the 1.0 days.
