[cfe-dev] Target-Triple changes in assembly; Who is wrong?

[via cfe-dev]

Which kind of context would help you to judge who is wrong?
Do you want the two assembly files? The C++ source code?

Without the context of the code being compiled, it's impossible to say if 
LLVM is right or not. It's worth mentioning though that there is no 
__thiscall convention on x64. That's a 32-bit-only thing.

If I had to guess, I'd say this is some struct return ABI detail that's 
going wrong.

Hello Clang-People, 

I try to understand the system behind the target triple of clang - but I 
don't get it. I used clang to compile the same code with two different 
targets: 
--target=x86_64-pc-windows-msvc and --target=x86_64-pc-windows-elf. 

I let the dragon compile my code and wished for assembly output. The 
dragon did fine but the output confused me. 

When I looked into the functions I discovered strange difference. For 
example: 
msvc target generated: 
movq        %rdx, %rax 

but in elf the same line is: 
movq        %rcx, %rax 

Why is there (and in other places) such difference? The target is still 
windows, but the elf code is breaking the windows __thiscall calling 
convention. I expected that both output are compatible to windows. 

Is the dragon wrong, or is it me? 

Kind regards 
Björn
