--- Comment #1 from Uroš Bizjak <ubizjak at gmail dot com> --- This should be a no-op. According to the documentation: --q-- Macro: REG_ALLOC_ORDER If defined, an initializer for a vector of integers, containing the numbers of hard registers in the order in which GCC should prefer to use them (from most preferred to least). If this macro is not defined, registers are used lowest numbered first (all else being equal). One use of this macro is on machines where the highest numbered registers must always be saved and the save-multiple-registers instruction supports only sequences of consecutive registers. On such machines, define REG_ALLOC_ORDER to be an initializer that lists the highest numbered allocable register first. --/q-- and the patch removed: -#define REG_ALLOC_ORDER \ -{ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, \ - 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, \ - 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, \ - 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, \ - 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75 } It is trivial to revert the offending commit, but I think that this PR warrants some more analysis of the underlying problem, presumably in the generic code.
