I implemented this additional patch, but don't really know a TON about this area, so I have a few ideas but would like to get direction on it if possible. I had the following ideas of where to get a few more bits: CallingConvention/EffectiveCallingConvention/ASTCallingConvention: This structure stores a pre-converted calling convention to the llvm::CallingConv enum (llvm/include/llvm/IR/CallingConv.h). I'll note that the legal values for this go up to 1023 (so 8 bits isn't enough anyway!), though only up to 91 are currently used. HOWEVER, the clang CallingConv (include/clang/Basic/Specifiers.h :233) only has 16 items in it. If we were instead to store THAT and convert upon access (a simple switch statement, already used constructing this value, see ClangCallConvToLLVMCallConv), we could get away with 6 or 7 bits each, saving this 3-6 bits total, yet have way more than enough room for expansion. HasRegParm: This field might be possible to eliminate. According to the GCC RegParm docs (I don't see a clang one?) here (https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/x86-Function-Attributes.html), ", the regparm attribute causes the compiler to pass arguments number one to number if they are of integral type in registers EAX, EDX, and ECX instead of on the stack". It seems that 0 for "RegParm" should be illegal, so I wonder if we can treat "RegParm==0" as "HasRegParm==false" and eliminate storing that. In my opinion, the 1st one gives us way more room for the future and corrects a possible future bug. The 2nd is likely a lower touch, though it could possibly change behavior (see discussion here https://www.coreboot.org/pipermail/coreboot/2008-October/040406.html) as regparm(0) is seemingly accepted by both compilers. I DO note that this comment notes that 'regparm 0' is the default behavior, so I'm not sure what change that would do. Either way, I suspect this change should be a separate commit (though I would figure making it a pre-req for this patch would be the right way to go). If you give some guidance as to which you think would be better, I can put a patch together. -Erich https://reviews.llvm.org/D22045 _______________________________________________ cfe-commits mailing list cfe-commits@lists.llvm.org http://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cfe-commits
