No

I would like to free RBP register so that it is not used for setting the frame for locals
It is pity to waist it if not really neccessery
I have looked MSVC code and it doesn't use RBP register for the frame
so it can use all 8 nonvolatile registers for locals
here is how I envision implementation:

somefunction PROC FRAME USES r12 r13 r14 r15 somevar:QWORD
mov [rsp+8], rbp ;these 4 registers could be stored
mov [rsp+16], rbx ;in a shadow space
mov [rsp+24], rdi ;if we need to use rcx, rdx, r8, r9
mov [rsp+32], rsi ;we can put them in rbp, rbx, rdi, rsi
push r12
push r13
push r14
push r15
sub rsp, 1040 ;locals + @ReservedStack
;some code here
;..............
;
lea rsp, [rsp+1040]
pop r15
pop r14
pop r13
pop r12
mov rbp, [rsp+8]
mov rbx, [rsp+16]
mov rdi, [rsp+24]
mov rsi, [rsp+32]
ret
somefunction ENDP

    Yes, but unlike an assembler a C compiler has full control over registers.

    It might be possible to somehow introduce a "frame pointer omission" option in jwasm, but the effect of such an option will have to be more generic than your proposal, IMO.

    >Yes, but unlike an assembler a C compiler has full control over registers.

    IMO, ASSEMBLER should have more control over registers than C
    that's why we are ASM programmers

    >It might be possible to somehow introduce a "frame pointer omission" option

    Do it your way, more generic than my proposal, as long as you FREE the RBP register

    Problem solving will keep your brains young;)

    OPTION FRAME_POINTER_OMISSION sounds good to me

    best regards

    Hi Japheth
    I am back
    have look what Tomas Gristar has done for Fasm
    can you understand these macros?
    can we also create simular macros?

    ;First example is the static-RSP procedure frame for 64-bit case.
    ;These macros define the common frame for all the procedure calls
    ;inside the "proc" (the same as "frame" macro) and therefore assume
    ;that RSP is not changed during the procedure life. This allows to
    ;access the parameters and locals with RSP-based addresses.
    ;The instructions are longer that with RBP-based addressing,
    ;however you get the simpler code and RBP register free for
    ;any custom usage. Choose whatever is more suitable for your needs.

    macro static_rsp_prologue procname,flag,parmbytes,localbytes,reglist
    { local counter,loc,regs,frame,current
    loc = (localbytes+7) and (not 7)
    counter = 0
    irps reg, reglist { counter = counter+1 }
    regs = 8*( counter + (counter+loc shr 3+1) and 1 )
    totalbytes@proc equ frame+loc+regs
    sub rsp,totalbytes@proc
    localbase@proc equ rsp+frame
    regsbase@proc equ rsp+frame+loc
    parmbase@proc equ rsp+frame+loc+regs+8
    current = 0
    current@frame equ current
    size@frame equ frame
    counter = 0
    irps reg, reglist { mov [regsbase@proc+8*counter],reg
    counter = counter+1 } }

    macro static_rsp_epilogue procname,flag,parmbytes,localbytes,reglist
    { local counter
    counter = 0
    irps reg, reglist { mov reg,[regsbase@proc+8*counter]
    counter = counter+1 }
    add rsp,totalbytes@proc
    retn }

    macro static_rsp_close procname,flag,parmbytes,localbytes,reglist
    { size@frame = current@frame
    restore size@frame,current@frame }

    prologue@proc equ static_rsp_prologue
    epilogue@proc equ static_rsp_epilogue
    close@proc equ static_rsp_close
