addr vrs offset

[daydreamer]

I prefer use lea eax,variable
Instead of mov eax,offset variable
Like this
Princess:lea eax,Luke

The instruction can be a byte or two longer though, if that matters.
It's a good idea in 64-bit programming, never use OFFSET and you will have position-independent code (RIP-relative), no fixups/relocations.

I dont care because I often code SSE/SSE2,SSE opcodes is 3+ bytes in size,SSE2 opcodes is 4+ bytes in size,load source and destination adresses into gp regs are before innerloop,inside innerloop lower opcode size means ability to unroll loop more times
