There's still something on the platform that you can call without extra indirection in the way on your side of the handoff. That is true on all platforms; whether it's an INT or SYSCALL instruction or a CALL or JMP instruction is irrelevant.
- int_19h 1y agoIf it's a CALL instruction into a user-space DLL, that's still an extra indirection.
