Mainly, I think gcc sets stack by hands beacause ENTER does a lot of dirty work. If you see x86 pseudocode, it perform a lot of wasting work... however, what you proposed is not a bug, just a way of ruling stack frames. rookie _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
