PR61300 shows a need to differentiate between incoming and outgoing
REG_PARM_STACK_SPACE for the PowerPC64 ELFv2 ABI, due to code like
function.c:assign_parm_is_stack_parm determining that a stack home
is available for incoming args if REG_PARM_STACK_SPACE is non-zero.
Background: The ELFv2 ABI requires a parameter save area only when
stack is actually used to pass parameters, and since varargs are
passed on the stack, unprototyped calls must pass both on the stack
and in registers. OK, easy you say, !prototype_p(fun) means a
parameter save area is needed. However, a prototype might not be in
scope when compiling an old K&R style C function body, but this does
*not* mean a parameter save area has necesasrily been allocated. A
caller may well have a prototype in scope at the point of the call.
So I wrote a patch to define INCOMING_REG_PARM_STACK_SPACE and use
this in function.c, as attached. It's just a quick and dirty patch, I
know I'll need to document it in tm.texi and it would be better to
use INCOMING_REG_PARM_STACK_SPACE throughout function.c. Also I'm
happy to rename OUTGOING_REG_PARM_STACK_SPACE to
CALLER_ALLOCATES_REG_PARM_STACK everywhere if that seems like a good
idea to those with power to approve such a patch.
The question I have is whether there's a better way to do this? Years
ago it was possible for a backend to determine whether a function body
was being compiled by looking at TYPE_ACTUAL_ARG_TYPES(fun), but
that's now a C only flag, and it seems like it wouldn't be a good idea
to try to use the flag..
