            Bug ID: 31346
           Summary: Investigate whether or not we need a frame pointer
           Product: libraries
           Version: trunk
          Hardware: PC
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P
         Component: Backend: AVR
          Assignee: unassignedb...@nondot.org
          Reporter: dylanmcka...@gmail.com
                CC: llvm-bugs@lists.llvm.org
    Classification: Unclassified

In the past, we removed the frame pointer (R29R28). The code made the
assumption that the register would always contain the frame pointer.

If you look at the AVR-GCC wiki, it will always set up a frame pointer

We may need to add this back in in order to be compatible with the AVR-GCC
calling convention.
