I am no really sure, but it maybe be because you don't have any local variable, so it is no necessary to allocate memory in the stack for them. This seems a pattern from the compiler, it subtract the size of local variables from the stack pointer, so when there is none it subtracts zero. But this is just a supposition Regards, Isaac
