Assembler vs function pointers about cod4x_server

[D4edalus]

maybe you can show how that would look like for one function?

void (*Com_Printf)(const char * fmt, ...) = (void(*)(const char *, ...)0x12345678;
Where 0x12345678 is an address in lnxded binary.
Variable Com_Printf (also called function pointer or functor) at a compilation will became a function with next body: jmp dword ptr [0x12345678]. Exactly the same we can see in .asm files.
Here's pseudo assembler code will be generated for Com_Printf("test format %d\n", 0x123);:

push 0x123; push "test format %d\n"; call Com_Printf => jmp 0x12345678 => (original function) => (return back to Com_Printf call).
Obviously, this will work only for __cdecl functions because stack is cleared after original function code. Variadic arguments in declaration always means this is __cdecl function, for other, you must include prologue and epilogue where you will reserve and clear function stack, or save\restore registers (used for IDA's __usercall, __stdcall, __thiscall) etc.

I can convert assembly code into functors and update compiler script if you want.

Whop, one more reason to get rid of nasm #76
