The previous version relied on the standard calling convention using
std::reverse() to try to force the AVR ABI. But this only works for
simple cases, it fails for example with aggregate types.
This patch rewrites the calling convention with custom C++ code, that
implements the ABI defined in https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/avr-gcc.
To do that it adds a few 16-bit pseudo registers for unaligned argument
passing, such as R24R23. For example this function:
define void @fun({ i8, i16 } %a)
will pass %a.0 in R22 and %a.1 in R24R23.
There are no instructions that can use these pseudo registers, so a new
register class, DREGSMOVW, is defined to make them apart.
Also the ArgCC_AVR_BUILTIN_DIV is no longer necessary, as it is
identical to the C++ behavior (actually the clobber list is more strict
for __div* functions, but that is currently unimplemented).
Can we add a static_assertion that this invariant is upheld?
Something like
It looks like LLVM supports static_assert Coding Standards
