We know that an aggregate arg may be on registers partially or totally, as assign_parm_adjust_entry_rtl. For an example, if a parameter with 12 words and the target/ABI only allow 8 gprs for arguments, then the parameter could use 8 regs at most and left part in stack. > > > Note that BLKmode subword values passed in registers can be either > right or left justified. I think you also need to worry about > endianness here. Since the subword is used to move block(read from source mem and then store to destination mem with register mode), and this would keep to use the same endianness on reg like move_block_from_reg. So, the patch does not check the endianness. If any concerns and sugguestions, please point out, thanks! BR, Jeff (Jiufu) > > > Jeff
