By the way If you are interested in the SUSSIX standard you should know that it requires any sub-routine (non-_start) to preserve the values of every register upon returning, therefore no sub-routine conforming to the SUSSIX standard has any return values ever.

On a side not it is worth mentioning that if a routine does not conform to the standard the author of the routine is to be taken out behind the chemical shed and shot. Luckily we have not had any incidents yet except for the loss of my cat Mr. Bojangles which accidentally pressed some keys with its paws while attempting to cuddle with me and therefore produced a non standard conforming sub-routine.

If you are interested in joining the SUSSIX dev team just say so in this thread.
