SetHarshMode(TRUE);

Your opinion would be interesting if it was motivated by your knowledge and 
experience in writing assembly in both AT&T and Intel syntax, so that you could 
provide us pros and cons of each approach by your judgement.

Or, if you would be author of that code part in ReactOS.

Otherwise, I’m afraid, it’s just criticizing a very good work, didn’t even 
noticing the great PXE milestone, but nitpicking to a syntax. Don’t join 
complaints if you can’t fix it. (Timo’s point is valid because that’s him who 
actually converts this stuff!)

SetHarshMode(FALSE);

WBR,
Aleksey.

Hi Ged, 

Yes of course I read Hervé's mail.
I did not suggest that he should go about porting existing code, I just
expressed my opinion that we shouldn't use AT&T for new code.

As for porting the existing freeldr AT&T code, I guess I could, eventually, 
when I get time,
if I can just get a firm enough grip on the AT&T directive voodoo, which is 
obscure.
But in the short run, no, sorry, I'm really bogged down by RL :(
(It's even hard to try and keep up with the mailing list)

You wouldn't happen to have a good pointer for that obscure AT&T string voodoo?

Best Regards
L.

  Hi Gabriel, Eric, 

  Isn't the real issue why LogFile->Header.CurrentRecordNumber is off by one ?
  If that is found and fixed, this patch will make the error re-emerge as an 
off by -1.
  And if CurrentRecordNumber is actually used as the next *pending* record 
number,
  the identifier is somewhat mis-leading .. ?

  Just my penny to the pot

  Hi Hervé,

  No disrespect for your work, but I'm inclined to concur with Timo regrading 
AT&T vs. Intel.

  Even though I usually preach "don't fix it if it isn't broken', I really 
think that AT&T syntax
  is broken by design, and we should use only Intel assembly, which is *much* 
clearer.
  After all, we're programming Intel CPU's, not AT&T telephone switchboards ;)

  1) AT&T does not conform with Intel instruction reference.
     Intel syntax conforms with the instruction reference.

  2) AT&T has a lot of quaint obscure directive voodoo.
     What little directives exist in Intel is clear and concise.

  Eventually, I hope we'll get rid of all backwards & muddy AT&T assembly,
  but until then I think we should at least not use it for new code.

  Best Regards
  L.
