The compiler can do this as an opportunistic optimization. The callee collects a resource mask and the caller consumes it when it is “there”. Within a module when the callee”leaf” is compiled before the caller the information is “there”. When the call graph is available you want a bottom up walk for this optimization. </div><div class="" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;"><br class=""></div><div class="" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;">A few things to keep an eye on:</div><div class="" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;">- The twist here could be that the bottom up order conflicts with the layout order, so the two optimizations would have to run independently.

In this case you know that the value of 1000 is available in a register already so you can avoid loading it for use in the add. You could have other values in registers too, even those which are passed in to foo. The ‘this’ pointer is the best example as its probably incredibly likely that r0 contains the this pointer after a function call which didn’t override r0 for the return.</div><div class="" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;"><br class=""></div><div class="" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;">The this pointer example is actually related to what Quentin mentioned as a future direction here: rewriting calling conventions.

That is, return the this pointer in r0 and the value in r1.
