<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Meiryo UI","sans-serif";color:black">In the target we are implementing, function return for i64 and f64 types has a different processing.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Meiryo UI","sans-serif";color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Meiryo UI","sans-serif";color:black">For types i8 to i32, and f32, the return values are stored in their designated return registers (like how other targets does it).

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Meiryo UI","sans-serif";color:black">For i64 and f64 types, in the function call, after pushing the function parameters into the stack, the address of the allocated return memory space is assigned to a 16-bit register
(In our case, ER0). This is done by assigning the frame pointer register into ER0 and then adding the offset to it. So the output assembly code would somewhat look like the following:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Meiryo UI","sans-serif";color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Meiryo UI","sans-serif";color:black">Expected Target ASM output for i64 function call with i64 return type:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Meiryo UI","sans-serif";color:black">From my investigations so far, i64 types should call a custom function in the calling convention for processing this return type. Also, that LowerCall should be modified to
have the assigning of frame pointer into er0 and that LowerReturn should be modified in order to store qr0 into the effective address. Please correct me if I’m wrong.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
