Subject: [PATCH] Fix msr register allocation
Date: Mon, 30 Jul 2007 12:25:54 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1185809155.4347.20.camel@t60> (raw)
Since the value in ret will go through a return statement,
it does not need to be put in eax register directly. Instead,
we let the compiler do his job and choose what to do with it,
potentially getting a better register allocation.
