------- Additional Comments From steven at gcc dot gnu dot org 2005-01-24 23:21 ------- For amd64 we have the following .expand dump for the call (you can get it with -fdump-rtl-expand-details): ;; Function foo (foo) ;; Generating RTL for tree basic block 0 ;; bar (0.0) [tail call] (insn 14 9 15 (set (reg:DF 21 xmm0) (float_extend:DF (mem/u/i:SF (symbol_ref/u:DI ("*.LC0") [flags 0x2]) [3 S4 A32]))) -1 (nil) (expr_list:REG_EQUAL (const_double:DF 0.0 [0x0.0p+0]) (nil))) (call_insn 15 14 0 (call (mem:QI (symbol_ref:DI ("bar") [flags 0x41] <function_decl 0x2a959879c0 bar>) [0 S1 A8]) (const_int 0 [0x0])) -1 (nil) (nil) (expr_list:REG_DEP_TRUE (use (reg:DF 21 xmm0)) (nil))) The SIBLING_CALL_P flag is not set on the call_insn.
