hi everybody,
does anybody know what happens to = static=20 registers (gr0-gr31) in case of a context switch.
in the manual, it says static = registers are=20 visible to all procedures(i guess it shouldn't otherwise on a context = switch=20 another process would have the same static registers) On the other hand, = stacked=20 registers are local to procedures and saved and restored by RSE which = makes=20 sense to me.
