[LLVMdev] Calling Conventions, function prologs and epilogs.

Calling convention is really-really far from prologue/epilogue emission :) So:

1. Calling conventions
Partly tablegen / partly C++ code. Look for
CodeGen/SelectionDAG/CallingConvLower.cpp,
Target/X86/X86CallingConv.td and around. Usually this code is run
during different phases of sdag lowering.

2. Prologue / epilogue.
Pure C++ code. Look into CodeGen/PrologEpilogInserter.cpp (quite
obviously, right?) with bunch of target-specialized hooks, for
example, ones located in Target/X86/X86RegisterInfo.cpp. Information
about this is needed on different stages, some - even before regalloc,
some - in the late end of the codegen.

Hope this will help.
