[mips] Define macros related to -mabicalls in the preprocessor
ClosedPublic

Authored by sdardis on Jan 23 2017, 7:47 AM.

Details

Summary

Historically, NetBSD, FreeBSD and OpenBSD have defined the macro ABICALLS in
the preprocessor when -mabicalls is in effect.

Mainline GCC later defined __mips_abicalls when -mabicalls is in effect.

This patch teaches the preprocessor to define these macros when appropriate.

This resolves PR/31694.

Thanks to Sean Bruno for highlighting this issue!

Sending it to the correct list this time.

I'm not terribly attached to using ABICALLS for NetBSD, but let me check back with some of the MIPS folks. I would prefer __mips_abicalls to be always defined though, independent of the historic behavior.

FreeBSD is happy with this.

As mentioned in D29032 I agree with @joerg - __mips_abicalls should always be defined if this is what GCC does.

As mentioned in D29032

Err, that should be D29024

@joerg , @emaste : My concern is that the stock gcc distributions for FreeBSD, NetBSD from your sources doesn't define __mips_abicalls, so I'm worried about potential incompatibilities.

Nit to self: this should be MIPS-ABICALLS-NETBSD64-NOT. Likewise for FREEBSD64 and OPENBSD64.

Always defining mips_abicalls is certainly the saner choice. I'm discussing with the NetBSD/MIPS guys whether we just want to go with it all the time and drop our custom changes for ABICALLS__. Chances are quite good that we are going in that direction.

My concern is that the stock gcc distributions for FreeBSD, NetBSD from your sources doesn't define __mips_abicalls,

I think we should consider that a bug in GCC that we'll rectify. If __mips_abicalls is used in Linux GCC then we can expect 3rd party sources to check it, and we can migrate the in-tree (base system) uses to follow suit (even if we're stuck with the toolchain defining both indefinitely).

No need to preserve the BSD behavior for NetBSD.

Ok, I'll have __mips_abicalls unconditionally defined for everyone, The other two BSD's will have the traditional macro defined as well.
