Are you assuming that there are explicit references to the registers or
stack slots holding the values?  There may in fact be no such
references.  Perhaps the code performs some sort of computation to
derive an index into the stack holding the argument and the value of
that computation cannot be determined.  Or perhaps the code does not
touch one or more of its arguments explicitly, but leaves them in place
as arguments to another procedure that it calls.
