Well... Here's the epilog code for a non-main function generated by an oldish version of IBM C: 00010E Start of Epilog 00010E 58D0 D004 00413 | L r13,4(,r13) 000112 58E0 D00C 00413 | L r14,12(,r13) 000116 9824 D01C 00413 | LM r2,r4,28(r13) 00011A 051E 00413 | BALR r1,r14 00011C 0707 00413 | NOPR 7 00011E 0000 000120 Start of Literals 000120 0100018D =F'16777613' 000124 05000194 =F'83886484' 000128 0900019A =F'150995354' 00012C End of Literals Why they use[d] BALR I don't know, but surely they don't plan to return to the NOPR and the certain program check that follows. Perhaps the NOPR can be changed to something else for debugging.
