      From: address@nospicedham.not.available              Bernhard,              >> Read what Mike said [...]       >       > Why should I? I reply to things hitting my eyes, responding to       > whatever I read in that post I reply to.              So do I. After which you expected me to go somewhere fully different and       eyeball that, because you could not be arsed to put a few (simple?) words       about it into your reply. Hypocrite much ?              And although I had no intention of diving into your idea, my brain decided       otherwise and pieced some stuff together. Lets see if I got it correct.              Because of your wish to free EBP of being "abused" you :              1) Have banished the use of PUSH and POP              2) Have banished the use of half what RET could do for you, also forcing the       programmer to adopt C-style calling.              3) Cannot simply grab stackframe based values (arguments or locals) and       provide it to the to-be-called function, but it needs *two* commands, one to       retrieve the value, and another to place it into the new parameter block.       - a copy action which needs an intermediate register (which "wastes 1/7th       (1/15th) of the available register set" - remember that one ? :-) ).              Which means that the only thing you've "won" is that its upto you to choose       the imtermediate register, but at the expense of quite a few other things       ...              To me you sound like someone who his bothered by a papercut on his finger,       and than decides its a good idea to just chop his whole finger off.              I mentioned that its doesn't suit you to play the fool. Currently I'm not       so sure you're playing one anymore.              > As an autistic person, I might stick too close to the written, answering       > things people never 'meant', but wrote.              Bull. I've asked explicit questions (to Mike, but you responded), and you       ignored them. My mentioning (again to Mark) of not being able to use PUSH       and POP anymore ? You ignored it.              > As an autistic person, ... That is not my fault, right?              Ah, the old "its not my fault (so it must be yours)" defense. Couldn't you       think of something a bit less obvious ?                     And by the way, I'm going to put you into my dug-out (blacklist) for a       while, so do not expect any more responses.              You see, my "authistic spectrum affliction" is that I have a bit of a       problem ignoring people when they are behaving like you do - somehow I       always think I can make them see the erring of their ways by keeping       explaining stuff. Alas, it seldom works.              Regards,       Rudy Wieser              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
