- Reply-to: sje at cup dot hp dot com
This patch is my attempt to fix PR middle-end/10109, a bug report about
the documentation of the LIBCALL_VALUE macro in tm.texi.
I changed the use of LIBRARY_VALUE to LIBCALL_VALUE since that seems
to be what it was intended.
I removed the comment about not worrying about aggregate types since the
macro doesn't take a 'type' it only takes a mode. I suppose we could
say something about not worrying about BLKmode but it seems irrelevent to
do so.
I also removed the comments about the 'func' argument since that no
longer exists. I think LIBCALL_VALUE (or LIBRARY_VALUE) used to take
more arguments but it currently only takes a single argument, a mode.

@defmac LIBCALL_VALUE (@var{mode})
A C expression to create an RTX representing the place where a library
-function returns a value of mode @var{mode}. If the precise function
-being called is known, @var{func} is a tree node
-(@code{FUNCTION_DECL}) for it; otherwise, @var{func} is a null
-pointer. This makes it possible to use a different value-returning
-convention for specific functions when all their calls are
-known.
+function returns a value of mode @var{mode}.
Note that ``library function'' in this context means a compiler
support routine, used to perform arithmetic, whose name is known
specially by the compiler and was not mentioned in the C code being
compiled.

-The definition of @code{LIBRARY_VALUE} need not be concerned aggregate
-data types, because none of the library functions returns such types.
