Subject: [RFC] About arm-tdep.c arm_in_function_epilogue_p function
Date: Sun, 14 Nov 2010 12:19:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <002701cb83f6$30b394e0$921abea0$@muller@ics-cnrs.unistra.fr> (raw)

  In the second part of that function,
for which II just committed an obvious
compilation failure fix, I found something
strange:


  found_stack_adjust = 0;
  insn = read_memory_unsigned_integer (pc - 4, 4, byte_order_for_code);
  if (bits (insn, 28, 31) != INST_NV)
    {
      if ((insn & 0x0df0f000) == 0x0080d000)
        /* ADD SP (register or immediate).  */
        found_stack_adjust = 1;
      else if ((insn & 0x0df0f000) == 0x0040d000)
        /* SUB SP (register or immediate).  */
        found_stack_adjust = 1;
      else if ((insn & 0x0ffffff0) == 0x01a0d000)
        /* MOV SP.  */
>>> This line seems weird:
>>> why should a MOV SP be considered as a return?
>>> It should rather be a change in stack, no?
>>> (but I know about nothing about ARM instructions...)
>>> Furthermore, found_return isn't used
>>> anymore in that function.
>>> Isn't the correct code
>>>     found_stack_adjust = 1;

        found_return = 1;
      else if ((insn & 0x0fff0000) == 0x08bd0000)
        /* POP (LDMIA).  */
        found_stack_adjust = 1;
    }

  if (found_stack_adjust)
    return 1;

  return 0;
}

  Ulrich or Daniel,
could one of you two check this and 
commit a fix if I am right?

  Thanks in advance,
