[PATCH v5 24/57] tcg/tci: Improve tcg_target_call_clobber_regs
Posted by Richard Henderson 4 years, 11 months ago
The current setting is much too pessimistic.  Indicating only
the one or two registers that are actually assigned after a
call should avoid unnecessary movement between the register
array and the stack array.
