Hi,
I've been trying to fix the build on mipsel-linux. It uses jit3. I've got the LOUT build problem sorted out, the syntax of LOUT and friends has changed between jit3 and jit1. The next stumbling stone is prologue_xxC, which does not exist in jit3 funcs.h. So before I blindly change prologue_xxC to prologue_xxx on mips (and possibly m68k, since it suffers from same symptoms on netbsd), I'd like to know what the difference in naming is supposed to mean ;)
i.e. what is in the name suffix -xxx that xxC doesn;t have, etc. I couldn't find that documented, unfortunately.
I think that funcs.h is somewhat wrong since it directly uses the names from the i386 backend (i.e. prologue_xxx). IMHO it should use the different HAVE_* macros from the jit3-icode.h to declare the functions (so it correctly declares prologue_xxx on i386 but prologue_xxC on mipsel). Furthermore, these declarations should be guarded by #ifdef HAVE_foo ... #endif for optional things like HAVE_mon_enter and HAVE_mon_exit.
Thanks, Helmer, that's a very good idea. I'll go for it. I eventually figured out that funcs.h was the file I had to change, but wanted to do it manually. Using the macros directly is a much more elegant proposal.
cheers, dalibor topic
