Prove what? That there's documentation or that it's usable for x86, too? Or is that a coding challenge? Alex Ionescu wrote: Prove it. On 2009-12-30, at 7:48 AM, Timo Kreuzer wrote: Also there is documentation for the newer interface available and it's usable for x86 later, too.

I recommend changing the convention such that Descriptor is a pointer to the pointer -- this way the functions can remain one-liners and not introduce register side-effects (especially since you're choosing ebx -- trashing a nonvolatile). On 2009-12-30, at 11:46 AM, Jose Catena wrote:

LOL, I love that I couldn't find any documentation on MSDN and in some arbitrary collection of headers, so it must not exist. I also never talked about MS provided documentation. 3rd party documentation still qualifies as documentation and it's better than nothing, if not even better than a lot
