crtl->is_leaf has a comment above it referring to "Local Register
Allocation". However this is set by IRA and not LRA since the meaning of
Local Register Allocator in GCC has changed quite drastically since 1999
when this comment was introduced above the variable
current_function_is_leaf. From memory gcc in those days had "local" and
"global" register allocation - however all of this has changed quite a
bit drastically since.
This patch merely updates the comment as I did some head scratching this
morning about how this could be set before Local Register Allocator
especially given the comment in ira.c as below.
/* Determine if the current function is a leaf before running IRA
since this can impact optimizations done by the prologue and
epilogue thus changing register elimination offsets. */
crtl->is_leaf = leaf_function_p ();
Ok to apply ?
* emit-rtl.h (is_leaf): Update comment about local register allocator.
Thanks,
Ramana
