|
|
<p>If the target needs to store information on a per-function basis, GCC
|
||
|
|
provides a macro and a couple of variables to allow this. Note, just
|
||
|
|
using statics to store the information is a bad idea, since GCC supports
|
||
|
|
nested functions, so you can be halfway through encoding one function
|
||
|
|
when another one comes along.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>GCC defines a data structure called <code>struct function</code> which
|
||
|
|
contains all of the data specific to an individual function. This
|
||
|
|
structure contains a field called <code>machine</code> whose type is
|
||
|
|
<code>struct machine_function *</code>, which can be used by targets to point
|
||
|
|
to their own specific data.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>If a target needs per-function specific data it should define the type
|
||
|
|
<code>struct machine_function</code> and also the macro <code>INIT_EXPANDERS</code>.
|
||
|
|
This macro should be used to initialize the function pointer
|
||
|
|
<code>init_machine_status</code>. This pointer is explained below.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>One typical use of per-function, target specific data is to create an
|
||
|
|
RTX to hold the register containing the function’s return address. This
|
||
|
|
RTX can then be used to implement the <code>__builtin_return_address</code>
|
||
|
|
function, for level 0.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Note—earlier implementations of GCC used a single data area to hold
|
||
|
|
all of the per-function information. Thus when processing of a nested
|
||
|
|
function began the old per-function data had to be pushed onto a
|
||
|
|
stack, and when the processing was finished, it had to be popped off the
|
||
|
|
stack. GCC used to provide function pointers called
|
||
|
|
<code>save_machine_status</code> and <code>restore_machine_status</code> to handle
|
||
|
|
the saving and restoring of the target specific information. Since the
|
||
|
|
single data area approach is no longer used, these pointers are no
|
||
|
|
longer supported.

|
||
|
|
<dd><p>Macro called to initialize any target specific information. This macro
|
||
|
|
is called once per function, before generation of any RTL has begun.
|
||
|
|
The intention of this macro is to allow the initialization of the
|
||
|
|
function pointer <code>init_machine_status</code>.

|
||
|
|
<dd><p>If this function pointer is non-<code>NULL</code> it will be called once per
|
||
|
|
function, before function compilation starts, in order to allow the
|
||
|
|
target to perform any target specific initialization of the
|
||
|
|
<code>struct function</code> structure. It is intended that this would be
|
||
|
|
used to initialize the <code>machine</code> of that structure.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><code>struct machine_function</code> structures are expected to be freed by GC.
|
||
|
|
Generally, any memory that they reference must be allocated by using
|
||
|
|
GC allocation, including the structure itself.
