Date: Wed, 18 Aug 1999 21:03:31 +0800 From: Peter Wemm Message-Id: <19990818130331.54C6A1C1F@overcee.netplex.com.au> Sender: owner-freebsd-alpha@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I need some help to hook some routines into alpha/swtch.s, but I don't know alpha assembler well enough. I can guess and try and figure it out myself, but I'd rather enlist the help of an expert. :-) I can supply corresponding patches for the x86 (basically delete large chunks of code and replace it with calls to a C routine), but I don't know the calling conventions and implications of side effects for the Alpha. On the x86, the side effects of the registers clobbered by the C code were harmless. I believe Doug is still in transit to/from SIGGRAPH or something. Can any of the other lurkers help? (Andrew? :-).
