llvm dev - Jan 2013 - [LLVMdev] Trouble implementing a new subtarget for X86

Hey all,
I am trying to implement a new subtarget for the X86 target that has 
only 64 bit registers and instructions and a very minimal ISA excluding 
any FPU instructions etc.

I have made the required changes to the instructions such that all the 
instructions that I don't wish to use have a required<> clause that 
precludes them from being utilised when compiling for this subtarget. I 
have modified the X86TargetLowering constructor to only include the GR64 
group of registers for this particular subtarget.

I am now faced with issues with the Lowering of Formal targets. I have 
implemented a new calling convention that changes all arguments of type 
i8, i16 or i32 to i64 and only uses the 64 bit registers to pass 
arguments. I am however encountering an error in the 
FormalArgumentLowering function in x86ISelLowering.cpp. I have 
reproduced the error and Debug output in the attached file. The code 
being compiled is a simple 2 function program where main calls a 
function and that function counts to 'n' the parameter passed to it from
main.

Can anyone help me figure out why the formal arguments suddenly have no 
EVT value?(that is the code that fails) at line 1979 of X86ISelLowering.cpp

Thanks a lot for your time,
Amogh
