getSubtarget<VESubtarget> and remove the cast. You also added Subtarget as a member, so you don't need the get anyway

563

getSubtarget<VESubtarget>() and use the VEFrameLowering?

Seems weird to me that this needs its own CC, or that it would have llvm in the name. This should be split into a separate patch, and needs some bitcode encoding tests

simoll planned changes to this revision.May 5 2020, 10:40 AM

Will try to get rid of the custom CC. Thanks for having another look at this!

Calling this builtin seems a bit wrong to me. builtin is usually a clang/C/frontend wrapper around an IR intrinsic. __ve_grow_stack_align? If it's already called this in some ABI spec then it doesn't matter

  • Renamed to __ve_grow_stack . The sequence has no specific name in the documentation, we can simply use a more palatable name.
  • Minor cleanup.

  • use standard C CC for grow_stack builtins.

@simoll @arsenm

Sorry for late reply. I originally want to use it's own calling convention to allow caller to not spill registers since many program may call this function to grow their stack. Is it not acceptable in general? Or it's OK if there is a reason?

It's OK to upstreaming C CC as a first step. I would like to know what we should do to improve the performance of alloca or dynamic stack allocation in C++. Thanks!

Would this just be the same as the existing PreserveMost or PreserveAll conventions?

@arsenm Yes! I didn't notice those calling conventions. We can use them as our target depend special calling conventions. Thank you for informing us.

verifyLeafProcRegUse function is not used anymore.

Remove this function from upstreaming. This is obsoleted function.
