Hello, <br><br>I would like to know if there's a way of setting the callee-saved register list inside getCalleeSavedRegs() to make the PEI pass save/restore only one half of a register pair if the other half is not being used, instead of saving the whole pair. Here is an example of what I try to explain to make things more clear:<br>
<br>Suppose this situation where we have a register file of 8bit regs, and that you can form regpairs by joining two adjacent regs. Pairs are pseudo regs that are formed by two 8 bit subregisters, with their lo and hi parts defined in the <a href="http://register.td">register.td</a> file. Both 8 and 16bit types are legal.<br>
In the following function: char foo(char a, char b, char c, int d)<br>Arguments are passed this way: a=R10, b=R8, c=R6, d=R5:R4, so first three come in a single reg while the last argument comes in a pair. Since all registers are callee clobbered they have to be saved/restored in the function. The current situation is that I've listed in the the callee-saved register list the whole pairs of registers instead of their parts, so I'm getting saved and restored R11:R10, R9:R8, R7:R6 and R5:R4 which is expected. However, what I would like is to not save the first 3 pairs, but only their low register parts, since the high register part is not being used (push R10+push R8+push R6+push R5:R4).<br>
<br>I've tried listing both the pairs and their parts, but if a pair and one of it's parts are used separately then I get both the pair and the part saved (ie: push R1:R0+push R1+push R0) duplicating code. Also, only listing the 8bit regs works BUT I'm getting machine verifier errors because registers are appearing twice in the live-ins list so I'm getting an error like this:<br>
*** Bad machine code: Using an undefined physical register ***<br><br>I would like to know if it's possible to handle this situation.<br><br>Thanks!<br>
