From 4d37e7e3fd851428dede4d05d3e69d03795a744a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zachary Amsden Date: Sat, 3 Sep 2005 15:56:38 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] i386: inline assembler: cleanup and encapsulate descriptor and task register management i386 inline assembler cleanup. This change encapsulates descriptor and task register management. Also, it is possible to improve assembler generation in two cases; savesegment may store the value in a register instead of a memory location, which allows GCC to optimize stack variables into registers, and MOV MEM, SEG is always a 16-bit write to memory, making the casting in math-emu unnecessary.
