I think, personally, the push-push-retf is more readable. By pushing the values into the stack and do far return, it's easy to interpret that "we jump into return value which we should find in stack" The readability I point here is more like "do goto vs don't do goto". Although in assembly, we're not forced to do everything structurally, but it's better to avoid it. Let me guess, the context of the above "retf" is to exit from somekind of "function"? -- regards, Mulyadi Santosa Freelance Linux trainer and consultant blog: the-hydra.blogspot.com training: mulyaditraining.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
