strange 4 assembly instructions for a function

Thanks Tim, actually I have the manuals and I have used them to solve some issues. The issue of using the book is, it is more like a dictionary to look for detailed instruction for an assembly instruction, not scenario based (like how assembly code facilitates edit and continue feature/scenario).
If you have any better documents or mail list to refer, it would be great! :slight_smile:

have a nice day,
George

Intel and AMD both have excellent and extensive downloadable reference
manuals for all of their processors.? They are very detailed.

Start here:
? http://www.intel.com/products/processor/manuals/index.htm

There are many thousands of pages of documents there.

Thanks Tim,
I think the question is answered and we agree that reserving more space on stack is to facilitate edit and continue feature.
regards,
George

George, this is just common common sense.? Edit-and-continue works if
the changes fit in the reserved space.? If there isnโ€™t enough space,
then it canโ€™t edit and continue.? It has to recompile and relink.

One of the books I enjoy is โ€œArt of Assembly Languageโ€ written by Randal Hyde. It provides information on registers, operations and serves as an operating systems introductory book. It should be used in combination with the Intel manuals; I am not sure how much up to date is. The information provided there proved to be reliable.
