This is what exactly I came up with finally and it seems to be working fine for now. Just wondering why isn't there a standard calling convention on IA-64. Something of this sort(if at all to be saved): rp has to be saved in loc0 sp has to be saved in loc1 gp has to be saved in loc2 (Or I didn't read the manuals properly?) Regards, Gowri Kumar
