           Summary: clang x86-64 abi does not set %rax when returning struct

x86-64 abi page 22 says "On return %rax will contain the address that has been
passed in by the caller in %rdi". But clang -O2 mode does not set %rax.

$ cat returnbig.c
struct s {
  int a[10];
};

struct s f(void) {
  struct s x;
  return x;
}

$ clang-cc -S -O2 returnbig.c

$ cat returnbig.s
        .file   "returnbig.c"


        .text
        .align  16
        .globl  f
        .type   f, at function
f:
        movq    $0, 24(%rdi)
        movq    $0, 16(%rdi)
        movq    $0, 8(%rdi)
        movq    $0, (%rdi)
        movq    $0, 32(%rdi)
        ret
        .size   f, .-f
