Hello, I'm using CRT, kernel32, and user32 functions, and I'm trying to figure out which registers get clobbered by these functions.

I searched around and couldn't find any information on the topic, so I did some tests and it looks like eax, ecx, and edx get clobbered, and ebx, esi, edi, and ebp keep their values after a function call. Is this correct?

Just remember that CRT functions are CCALL and Windows API functions (with one exception) are STDCALL.
