[LLVMdev] [llvm]/lib/CodeGen/PrologEpilogInserter.cpp RestoreCSRegs before epilogue, why?

[Daniil Troshkov]

Hello all!
Does anybody know why "lib/CodeGen/PrologEpilogInserter.cpp" has code:
---------------------------
// Add the code to save and restore the callee saved registers
  if (!F->hasFnAttribute(Attribute::Naked))
    insertCSRSpillsAndRestores(Fn);
  .....
  if (!F->hasFnAttribute(Attribute::Naked))
    insertPrologEpilogCode(Fn);
-----------------------------
and than we use 'hacks' like this(example for MSP430(emitEpilogue,
MSP430FrameLowering.cpp) but other archs has the same code):
----------------------------
// Skip the callee-saved pop instructions.
while (MBBI != MBB.begin()) {
  MachineBasicBlock::iterator PI = prior(MBBI);
  unsigned Opc = PI->getOpcode();
  if (Opc != MSP430::POP16r && !PI->isTerminator())
    break;
  --MBBI;
}
-----------------------------
Why we don't use directly:
insertCSRSpiil
insertProlog
insertEpilog
InsertCSRRestore
