Ian,
Thanks for all your help so far. I now think I am closer to my goal.
In order to execute :
XOR [EBP+4], [EBP]
after executing :
PUSH EBP
in the prologue, I need to use : emit_insn (gen_xorsi3 (DESTREG, SRC1, SRC2));
So I checked and I can generate a register such that:
rtx ebp_reg = gen_rtx_REG(Pmode, BP_REG);
this would be a hard register.
rtx ebp_plus = gen_rtx_PLUS(Pmode, ebp_reg, 4);
so now executing :-
emit_insn (gen_xorsi3 (ebp_plus, ebp_plus, ebp_reg));
I dont know if ebp_plus would be converted to [XOR+4] or not, although
it is derived from the hard register ebp_reg.
If I am wrong in this approach, please correct me.
Thank You for all your help so far.
