similar to: [LLVMdev] Possible bug in getCallPreservedMask for CallingConv::Intel_OCL_BI

Hi all, As previously mentioned on this list the Haskell compiler GHC has a new LLVM based back-end. The back-end needs a new calling convention to efficiently use LLVM and that is what this patch does, just for X86 at the moment. Breakdown: 1) Need actual calling convention Touches: - include/llvm/CallingConv.h - lib/Target/X86/X86CallingConv.td 2) Handling new calling

OK, new patch attached. Hopefully in time for 2.7. Chris Lattner wrote: > 1) is the GHC calling conv intended to be target specific? If it is x86 specific, it should get an X86 prefix. If not, it should move up to be #10 after Cold. No its intended to be supported on any platforms that GHC is supported on, which is just x86 and SPARC at the moment. At the moment I've just done X86, will

Currently with my understanding of using callingconv.td I still need to lower three functions, FORMAL_ARGUMENTS, CALL, and RET. Is there any known way to have LLVM automagically generate code from tablegen without having to custom lower these functions? The reasoning for this is that all registers are virtual in my backend and I have specified for llvm to use it's generic dynamic stack

I'm trying to understand the Win64 case of the code below, from X86RegisterInfo.cpp: // If this is x86-64 and the Red Zone is not disabled, if we are a leaf // function, and use up to 128 bytes of stack space, don't have a frame // pointer, calls, or dynamic alloca then we do not need to adjust the // stack pointer (we fit in the Red Zone). if (Is64Bit &&

Hello everyone, I made a quick patch to clang/llvm to introduce an "apple_abi" function attribute (https://github.com/aguinet/llvm-project/commit/c4905ded3afb3182435df30e527955031cb0d098), to be able to compile functions for the Apple ARM64 ABI when targeting other ARM64 OSes (e.g. Linux). This can be seen as the Apple version of the already existing "ms_abi" attribute. In
