[LLVMdev] Can llvm support a target backend without function call ?

[Peng Wang]

Hi all,

I am writing a llvm backend for a small stream processor. Because of its
special application field, the processor does not support function. When I
built the llvm backend for the new target, I leave the calling convention
and frame lowering part blank. It compilered correctly, but I encountered
execution errors, like

*[xxx at localhost ex]$ llc test.ll -march=SSP -o test.s

Segmentation fault

I think the error comes from the lacking support of function call. Should I
write some fake codes to walk around, or I have some ways to tell LLVM that
I do not want function call?

Actually, I tried to write LLVM IR without the function form of define
@main(..., but with function body directly. Unfortunately, everything seems
must work with a function call, otherwise llc will not work.


Best wishes!
