Apparently, GCC doesn't usually allocate ECX, which is precisely the reason why we use it as TOS cache. All assembly instructions that needs ECX, like shifts or rep movs/rep stos do fit with the TOS=ECX. -- Bernd Paysan "If you want it done right, you have to do it yourself" http://bernd-paysan.de/
