Why this code is generated by the MASM.
The procedure accepts 4 bytes of arguments but it pushes
6 bytes onto stack.
anyproc ptoro arg:dword
a1 db "sdfdf",0
invoke anyproc,a1
* push 000h ;4 bytes pushed
* mov al, a1
* movzx ax, al
* push ax ;2 bytes pushed
2nd question
========
I have seen this code to be used in local variables.
lea eax,[ebp-4]
What is meaning of lea in the context of registers?
Registers dont have addresses?
Shouldn't lea be used only with program variables.
What is the meaning of this statement.
