Re: implementation of software suspend on MIPS. (system log)

["Hyon Lim" <alex@alexlab.net>]

I think the reason of assembly implementation is processor context replacement.

Processor context should be replaced when suspend or resume process.

So I think that code should be implemented using assembly language.

The second reason that I thinking is calling convention of C language.

How do you think?

I just have to ask the question, but is it really necessary to code the
whole thing in assembly?  I understand that the interface probably does
need to be, but the main body of the function?  If it's very large or
complicated, it would seem simpler to use C and write assembly glue to
pull it all together rather than trying to debug hand assembly.  Many of
us here have spent hours before tracking down problems with stale data in
branch delay slots.  The compiler is a tad more convienient.
