I wanted to know : how to set some value at a particular memory location on the stack. Suppose I want to set a value stored in a rtx type variable to a memory location. Is the following code correct? I need to read a particular memory location, then XOR it with the hard frame pointer and then store it back in its place. will this code work? Note: Here at (argument pointer - 8) location, I am pushing a copy of return address earlier and after that the hard_frame_pointer is pushed. Now, I want to XOR the duplicate return address with the new hard_frame_pointer_rtx generated after pushing the frame pointer on the stack. I wanted to know that will this code work to do the task? arg_ptr = cfun->machine->force_align_arg_pointer; r = gen_rtx_PLUS (Pmode, arg_ptr, -8); r = gen_rtx_MEM (Pmode, r); m = force_reg(Pmode,r); // OR : m = copy_to_mode_reg(Pmode, r); m1 = simplify_binary_operation(XOR, Pmode, m, hard_frame_pointer_rtx); set1 = emit_insn(gen_rtx_SET (Pmode,r, m1)); RTX_FRAME_RELATED_P (set1) = 1; If not, please guide me with some solution that would allow me to write a rtx variable value to a particular memory location.
