Hi,

During isel lowering, the backend insertes CALLSEQ_START /  
CALLSEQ_END target independent nodes to the DAG. These are then  
selected to X86 specific instructions ADJCALLSTACKDOWN /  
ADJCALLSTACKUP. At these point, they have a constant arguments which  
corresponds to the fixed frame size for argument passing. But the  
size of the stack frame isn't finalized until frame layout has been  
completed, these are not translated into stack dec / inc until very  
late (see X86RegisterInfo.cpp::eliminateCallFramePseudoInstr).

May I ask why are you adding a command line option to control stack  
frame size? If you must do it, it should be separate from the general  
mechanism. You can add a couple of special instructions that are  
"flagged" to the CALLSEQ nodes that will be emitted as stack inc /  
dec code.
