I've implemented LEGITIMIZE_RELOAD_ADDRESS and that implementation is calling find_reloads_address_1. My implementation adds double indirect addressing to the m68k target and since the use of an outer index register or offset depends on the use of an inner index register or offset, since only one index register and one offset is allowed per address. => The recursive reload implementation does not work. So the LEGITIMIZE_RELOAD_ADDRESS takes care of the whole address at once. How are the chances that a static method of reload is converted into an extern accessible method, if a patch would requires it? Regards Stefan
