[A fair bit later than promised, sorry...]
Mikhail posted a patch to make genflags generate the default HAVE_foo
and gen_foo definitions that have recently been added to defaults.h:
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2015-06/msg00723.html
I agree it'd be a good idea to generate this kind of thing automatically,
but I think we should take the opportunity to move the interface to the
target structure. I.e.:
HAVE_foo -> targetm.have_foo ()
gen_foo -> targetm.gen_foo ()
This should move us closer to the pipedream goal of supporting multiple
targets at once. It should also mean that only the target code depends
on insn-flags.h.
The patch just moves return and simple_return as an example. I have more
locally (in order to test other code paths), but they're just an obvious
extension of this one.
The patch relies on the hashing changes in:
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2015-06/msg01066.html
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2015-06/msg01564.html
and on this trivial patch:
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2015-06/msg01604.html
It seems a bit heavyweight when you just look at these two instructions,
but I think it'll be a saving in the end.
Bootstrapped & regression-tested on x86_64-linux-gnu. Also tested
via config-list.mk. OK to install?
Thanks,
Richard
