My takeaway from your comment is to mark LR explicitly alive to make sure compiler will restore LR if it clobbers the register before the BL_PUSHLR instruction. Did I understand correctly? Thanks. Anyway, this change seems to be needed once I turned on -verify-machineinstrs in the unit test, which complained the push/stmdb instruction trying to use a dead LR register.
