Just a clarification: %R2 is not *wrong* -- it points to the right side of argument register 2 (jda explained this in an earlier thread), but I am not 100% sure %R2 will do the right thing for a 32-bit build though -- if you are running on a pa1.1 machine and the register is only 32-bit, does %R2 automatically do the right thing with 64-bit arguments? I guess it's easy enough to tell by looking at the code gcc generates... anyway, i think we should stick with the inline version of the code too.... thx randolph -- Randolph Chung Debian GNU/Linux Developer, hppa/ia64 ports http://www.tausq.org/
