Hi all, I am recently porting GCC 4.2.0 to our private architecture, and I got one problem on passing variable arguments on stack. Suppose the number of argument registers is four, and it is apparent that the fifth or more argument should be stored on stack, where I note as the outgoing argument area. In the meanwhile, the variable arguments, which can be determined by current_pretend_arg_size, should also be stored on stack marked as pretend area, and in my case, these manipulation are done at the prologue stage. I find that these two area should stick together in the stack layout, because when variable-argument function (e.g. printf) has more than four argument to pass down, these argument should be then stored in a contiguous block of memory, where the first four argument should be at the pretend area and the others at the outgoing argument area. My question is that, is there any mechanism that can be applied to make these two area separated? Thanks in advance -- He Xiao Shanghai Jiaotong University, 800 Dongchuang Road, Shanghai, China
