Title: Procedure not requiring automatic register saves
Post by: TemPiQ on April 13, 2019, 08:48:36 PM

Please forgive me if this question has been asked already.
I have sought in the forum for some time now without success.

I  need a procedure that does not require automatic register saves or will not access the register spill area.
That means no need to use the EBP register

However if I code somthing like this:

Code: [Select]

proc Sample1
    RDTSC
    MOV DWORD[EDI],EAX
    MOV EAX,EDI
    RETN
endproc

nasm will compile as follows:

Code: [Select]

Sample1:
    PUSH EBP
    MOV EBP,ESP
    RDTSC
    MOV DWORD[EDI],EAX
    MOV EAX,EDI
    RETN

Thanks

Sorry I forgot the "endproc" which I have included now in the edited post

"proc"? What is "proc"? Not Nasm.  Whatever it is, you probably want to get  rid of it, since it is apparently generating code you don't want.

Best,
