There is a similar mechanism for pointer-to-member-functions
used by C++. Is this correct on aarch64?
/* By default, the C++ compiler will use the lowest bit of the pointer
to function to indicate a pointer-to-member-function points to a
virtual member function. However, if FUNCTION_BOUNDARY indicates
function addresses aren't always even, the lowest bit of the delta
field will be used. */
#ifndef TARGET_PTRMEMFUNC_VBIT_LOCATION
#define TARGET_PTRMEMFUNC_VBIT_LOCATION \
(FUNCTION_BOUNDARY >= 2 * BITS_PER_UNIT \
? ptrmemfunc_vbit_in_pfn : ptrmemfunc_vbit_in_delta)
#endif
Best,
