ECX is, AFAIK "caller-save" by the ABI calling convention; and the asm inline calls rand(), which it does not declare. Rand() is free to clobber ecx. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
