The question is not well formed. The instructions which are part of the prologue (e.g., saving callee-saved registers onto the stack) can be interspersed with instructions which are part of the function proper. This happens routinely in gcc's second scheduling pass. > Indeed I am trying to evaluate what needs to be done to implement SEH and > one requirement is to be able to > fill a structure holding information like function length and prologue > length. I haven't looked at SEH. How does it use this sort of information? What should happen when the prologue is not a unitary block of instructions? Ian
