RAX will only then be used for the function result when it is really needed (e.g. the last assignment in a function). Before that the compiler might reuse RAX as it pleases.
Please note that a function result might also be returned by memory (managed types and large records), by SSE register (floating point values) or in RAX AND RDX (records of which the size is less or equal to 16 Byte).
