Tels,
Please forgive me for being blunt, but I think it's your fault for
writing fragile META.yml creation code. YAML.pm is not even at 1.00
yet, so an API change is allowed by convention, and lack of backward
compatibility is to be expected. If you were to have wrapped your

Hi,
Earlier today I checked in a change that lets you add a :non_volatile flag
to a local or parameter.
.param int i :non_volatile
.local int j :non_volatile
This says to the register allocator "don't re-use the register that this
parameter or local goes in to", which is rather useful if you
