Here is the updated patch with chnaged e-mail address and fixed indentation issues: -8<-------------------- Currently GCC supports 'long_call', 'far', and 'near' attributes. The 'long_call' and 'far' attributes are synonyms. This patch adds support for the 'short_call' attribute as a synonym for `near` to make this list complete, consistent with other targets, and compatible with attributes supported by the Clang.
Tested on mipsel-linux-gnu. 2017-08-18 Simon Atanasyan <simon.atanas...@imgtec.com> gcc/ * config/mips/mips.c (mips_attribute_table): Add 'short_call' attribute. (mips_near_type_p): Add 'short_call' attribute as a synonym for 'near'. * doc/extend.texi (short_call): Document new function attribute. gcc/testsuite * gcc.target/mips/near-far-1.c: Add check for 'short_call' attribute. * gcc.target/mips/near-far-2.c: Likewise. * gcc.target/mips/near-far-3.c: Likewise. * gcc.target/mips/near-far-4.c: Likewise.
