Re: different asm code

[Sofiane Akermoun <akersof@xxxxxxxxx>]

a nice trick too:
push 0
pop register

We could start writing some metamorphic code to zeroed something :)

Horseriver you really have to search a bit yourself before spamming
this mailling list. I would mean your are sometimes asking question
that could be answerd in few seconds by google.
An advice if you need quick answers for short questions there are
really good irc chan for assembler stuff, freeonde as a good one #asm
and efnet too like #assembly, #win32asm or #asm, you have to try.

for you information, compiler and assembler can choose what is the
best way to generate code, loop etc. If he find something redundant he
can try to optimize it. sometimes he prefers to xor a register to
zeroed it, sometimes he prefers to mov 0 into the register.
You have to check optimization option of your assembler/compiler.

but if you really have something weird or interesting as wrote Hendrik
Visage paste code here.
