llvm dev - Nov 2011 - [LLVMdev] GC plugin: Not add (postcall) safe point after tail-call

Hi all,

I have implemented a GC plugin and i want to exclude Tail-call instructions
from being considered as Safe Points. For that reason I have overwritten
the "findCustomSafePoints" function with something like that:

 bool ErlangGC::findCustomSafePoints(GCFunctionInfo &FI, MachineFunction
&MF) {
   for (MachineFunction::iterator BBI = MF.begin(),
                                              BBE = MF.end(); BBI != BBE;
++BBI)
     for (MachineBasicBlock::iterator MI = BBI->begin(),
                                                    ME = BBI->end(); MI !ME;
++MI)
       if (MI->getDesc().isCall() && !isTailCall(MI))
 VisitCallPoint(FI, MI);

  return false;
}

using Nicolas' patch [1] and his code in VMkit as a template [2].

My problem is that I am not sure how i should define the "isTailCall"
function in order to be target-independent. Any advice is welcome!


Thank you in advance,
Yiannis
