question on "SavedRegisters::save_registers()"

Folks,

Maybe I'm missing something here, but I'm at a loss on the correct port for
SavedRegisters::save_registers().  The existing Win32 code uses the MSC
__declspec(naked) compiler directive to avoid the generation of prolog and
epilog code for the method.  Last time I checked, the standard prolog code
was "push ebp, mov ebp, esp" (using intel syntax).  The epilog code
basically just undoes this establishment of the local stack frame.  Now, the
inline assembler in question does not effect ebp or esp.  So, I am wondering
what the subtle magic is that I am missing ... why was this method declared
"naked"?

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
