[PATCH] Fix msr register allocation

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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.
