[fpc-devel] Broken frac functioninFPC3.1.1 / Windows x86_64

[J. Gareth Moreton]

 I stand corrected.

 Normally if I want to write a second epilogue, I simply compile the
project and look at the disassembly, and copy what the compiler puts in for
the epilogue.  The only one I remember off-hand is for leaf functions with
no stack frame and which uses only volatile registers, hence a simple
RET.  I'll get it right in the end!

 It's not quite that simple, at least under windows: 
 https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/prolog-and-epilog [2] 

 But yes, this documents that there can be multiple epilogues, so the
additional ret would be fine in this regard. 

 Following this exact format is required so that the stack unwinder during
processing of SEH (structured exception handling) which is performed by the
OS can correctly restore the value of non-volatile registers that has been
saved on the stack. 

 Fortunately, as our function in this case doesn't use the stack at all and
doesn't contain calls to other functions, this can be skipped.

 I think Sven Barth was going to fix this up anyway? 

 Cheers, 
 Thorsten
