At the time when you calculate frame size or generate prologue,
a tree variable 'current_function_decl' may be helpful to you.
For example:
attrs = DECL_ATTRIBUTES (current_function_decl);
By that, you can save any attribute information of current function in
particular sections,
(Certainly you have to traverse and parse tree list by yourself.)
and then generate some assembly code to access content from the sections.
There might be a better solution, but so far using particular sections
is one apporach I can figure out.
For more information of using tree structure in GCC,
refer to the 'Chapter 11 GENERIC' of GCC Internals documentation.
