5.5.8. FRAME STATE REMEMBER

The FRAME STATE REMEMBER directive saves the current information on how to calculate the canonical frame address and locations of saved register values. You can only use it within functions with FUNCTION and ENDFUNC or PROC and ENDP directives.

Syntax

FRAME STATE REMEMBER

Usage

During an inline exit sequence the information about calculationof canonical frame address and locations of saved register values can change. After the exit sequence another branch can continue using the same information as before. Use FRAME STATE REMEMBER to preserve this information, and FRAME STATE RESTORE to restore it.

These directives can be nested. Each FRAME STATE RESTORE directive must have a corresponding FRAME STATE REMEMBER directive. See:

Example

        ; function code
        FRAME STATE REMEMBER
            ; save frame state before in-line exit sequence
        POP     {r4-r6,pc}
            ; do not have to FRAME POP here, as control has
            ; transferred out of the function
        FRAME STATE RESTORE
            ; end of exit sequence, so restore state
exitB   ; code for exitB
        POP     {r4-r6,pc}
        ENDP
