Its OK, I managed to track it down after many hours of googlin' at microsoft of all places!
For anyone interested I found it here. http://www.microsoft.com/msj/0298/hood0298.aspx Apparently its because leave is smaller compared to its equivilent, but enter actually is slower than the equivilent code. I still don't get why some HLLs don't use leave, but thats another story i guess. |

I found this on my travels too, its also on microsoft(strange!)
A blog by someone at microsoft, who seems like he knows what he's talking about. Some of the entrys on windows hacks are very interesting. http://blogs.msdn.com/oldnewthing/archive/2004/01/08/48616.aspx |

it would be fine if someone wrote a goof procedure entry and exit tutorual. I wrote one, but just for classmates, in Slovak language, and there were not anything about local variables.

I didn't mean to rag on microsoft so much, i'm sure they have many good programmers there, and i really think XP in general is very good. My main issue is with the documentation, which often is very patchy, and as shown many times on Raymonds blog, points developers in the wrong direction (causing the need for the many shims he talks about)
I also found it quite refreshing that Raymond is not squeemish about talking about the bad things, and why they happen. |

Raymond's pretty cool, and I also like that he's not afraid to call a hack a hack
![]() IMHO MS did wrong in making shims to make broken software work - they should have let it break, but contact the developers about it. After all, MS are in a decent position to say "hey, we've noticed you do this wrong, you really ought to fix it". |
