Re: [avr-gcc-list] Not naked but "topless" functions?

[Kang Tin LAI]

Just finished a test with "noreturn", my codes is working and no significant
problem found yet. However, two redundant PUSHes found at prologue start, r28,
29 will never be restored and, two program flash and two SRAM consumed
unneccessarily.

No prologue code generated if frame not needed, good.
Totally no epilogue code generated, good.

"noreturn" is not specific to avr (I didn't find codes for "noreturn" in avr.c),
pushing register is controlled by avr.c according to something outside that I
don't know.

CVS is 20020911.

/***** with noreturn attribute *****/
/* prologue: frame size=5 */
        push r28
        push r29
        in r28,__SP_L__
        in r29,__SP_H__
        sbiw r28,5
        in __tmp_reg__,__SREG__
        cli
        out __SP_H__,r29
        out __SREG__,__tmp_reg__
        out __SP_L__,r28
/* prologue end (size=10) */
