Only assembly code can tell you. It does not change at the moment. I think it can change it. Because from line ret = hdl->count; until line return ret; there is no access to either ret or hdl->count. So it is reasonable to optimizer to think that their values are the same and eliminate unneeded variable. -- With best regards, Matwey V.
