Using 16 bits instead of 8 bits to track the register index allows us to support parameter lists that are longer than 400. It looks like v8 supports 1000 params.

Could we also update the aarch64 abi given that we're here? It still uses u8.

I noticed the RegIndexEnv implementation in aarch64 returns Option<u8> with a value of None if the index is incremented past the limit field and the limit field defaults to 8. There is one place where we call set_limit with a value of 1. So as far as I can tell, if we had over 8 parameters, the increment function would no longer be called so, with more than 255 parameters, an overflow would not happen like was the case with the x86 implementation.

Does it still make sense to use a u16 instead of a u8?

Yeah good point -- thinking a bit more about this, I think that the root of the issue is the lack of limits for each register class. Perhaps instead of widening the type to u16 we should add an upper-bound and make increment return None. The upper-bound could be either:

• A limit like in the case of aarch64, which could be derived from the calling convention.
• Using a checked add in increment (u8::MAX is good enough to represent the register arguments)

Note that we follow the JS embedding limits in Wasmtime for maximum compatibility with Web engines: https://webassembly.github.io/spec/js-api/index.html#limits
