Would be nice to have an #ifdef-less primitive for this - something like:

pushq_frame %rbp

and a matching:

popq_frame %rbp

for those cases that need it (this one doesnt as we dont pop out of the stack).


It certainly would if this isn't a singleton, which I think it could possibly be?

Otherwise it really should be a part of an entry/exit macro; this is somewhat special in that it sets up a frame pointer as something other than a normal entry/exit sequence.
