Re: [avr-gcc-list] push r1, pop r0

Hi Matthijs,

I believe you are right, that makes sense.

(I should have realized that, but it was a quite a while ago I read/wrote AVR asm... well you learn something new every day;)

Thank you.

It was compiled with  -O1.

Compiling with -Os does not seem to make a difference.

Best regards,

Hi Szikra,

I believe these pushes and pops are just meant to allocate 2 bytes on
the stack.

This loads Y with SP, so the location of the 2 pushed bytes

This is the load SP from your code variable

This stores SP to your sp variable on the stack

This loads your sp variable into the return value

I wonder why this even forces the value onto the stack, since that's
really not needed at all. Perhaps the "volatile" on your "sp" variable
causes this, or perhaps you're compiling without optimization?
