[llvm-dev] [ARM/Thumb] Make a function in arm while in Thumb triple

Hi,
I wanted to know if it was possible to force ARM backend to compile a
function in ARM while the rest is in Thumb mode.
I tried the attributes which is used in GCC but it doesn't work.

Here is what I tried:

Thanks in advance,

It's not possible I'm afraid. ARM/Thumb is per-file in Clang.

[llvm-dev] [ARM/Thumb] Make a function in arm while in Thumb triple

Hi Dimitri,

As I know the following ACLE attributes are not supported in Clang/LLVM at the
moment:

__attribute__((target("arm"))) attribute
__attribute__((target("thumb"))) attribute

But there is a workaround:

__attribute__((target("no-thumb-mode")))
__attribute__((target("thumb-mode")))

The attributes are propagated to a function declaration in IR by the frontend
and the backend generated the code according to them:

$ cat test.c
    __attribute__((target("no-thumb-mode"))) int foo(void)
    {
        return 0;
    }
    int main(void)
    {
        return foo();
    }

$ clang -nostdlib -target armv4t-none-eabi -mthumb -c test.c -emit-llvm -S -o -
; ModuleID = 'test.c'
source_filename = "test.c"
target datalayout = "e-m:e-p:32:32-i64:64-v128:64:128-a:0:32-n32-S64"
target triple = "thumbv4t-none--eabi"

; Function Attrs: noinline nounwind
define i32 @foo() #0 {
  ret i32 0
}

; Function Attrs: noinline nounwind
define i32 @main() #1 {
  %1 = alloca i32, align 4
  store i32 0, i32* %1, align 4
  %2 = call i32 @foo()
 ret i32 %2
}

Just curious. Why not provide target("arm") and
target("thumb")?

I don't know if I am reading this wrong (not try this by myself). I see
you apply target("no-thumb-mode") attribute on function foo, yet
foo's
attribute #0 has -thumb-mode? Seems to be contradiction?
