Hi Robert, > I tried adding to the XCoreCallingConv.td: > CCIfByVal<CCPassByVal<0,4>> // pushes pointer to the stack This looks sensible to me. After that it comes down to cooperation between XCoreISelLowering's LowerFormalArguments and LowerCall functions. LowerFormalArguments is at the beginning of a function and is responsible for taking arguments out of registers and putting them into sensible places for the rest of the function to use. LowerCall is responsible for putting call arguments whe...

...a similar idiom. The XCore has 3 ways of accessing a global: using PC relative addressing, via an immediate offset from the thread's DP (data pointer) register or via an immediate offset from the thread's CP (constant pool) register. When lowering a global address to a target global address XCoreISelLowering wraps the tglobaladdress node with one of three wrappers (PCRelativeWrapper, DPRelativeWrapper, CPRelativeWrapper) based on properties of the global (is it a function, is it constant, etc) . The wrapper is used in patterns in XCoreInstrInfo.td to ensure the right instruction is selected to ac...

Hello, I'm considering creating an LLVM backend for a 16 bit processor and modelling it around the (experimental) MSP430 back end. When reviewing MSP430InstrInfo.td I see def MSP430Wrapper : SDNode<"MSP430ISD::Wrapper", SDT_MSP430Wrapper>; and can see in MSP430ISelLowering.cpp that ISD::GlobalAddress: ISD::BlockAddress: ISD::ExternalSymbol all get lowered to

Hi - help! I have read through previous threads on the subject of 'byval' e.g. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topicsearchin/llvm-dev/Exact$20meaning$20of$20byval/llvm-dev/cyRZyXcMCNI https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topicsearchin/llvm-dev/$20byval/llvm-dev/uk4uiK93jeM https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topicsearchin/llvm-dev/byval/llvm-dev/46Tv0lSRwBg and read through code

Hi all, There's been a recent bootstrap failure that might be covered up because of another failure. I just wanted to point this out so that people can take a look: -bw Here's the failure from our buildbot: Assertion failed: (DestReg == VirtReg && "Unknown load situation!"), function RewriteMBB, file /Volumes/Sandbox/Buildbot/llvm/build.llvm-
