It is common knowledge that passing arguments in registers is faster than passing them in memory. There are some problems I ran into in trying to devise a scheme: If a compiler passes arguments in registers, how is varargs.h and printf implemented? If you are using a compiler that passes arguments in registers, please let me know how they do it. Send email. I will summarize to the net. regards, joe -- Full-Name: Joseph M.
