If we use multiple source of interrupts, for exemple, using SCLP console

need to have a re-entrant register saving interruption handling.
Instead of saving at a static place, let's save the base registers on
the stack.
Note that we keep the static register saving that we need for the RESET
tests.
We also care to give the handlers a pointer to the save registers in
case the handler needs it (fixup_pgm_int needs the old psw address).
So you're still ignoring the FPRs...
I disassembled a test and looked at all stds and it looks like printf
and related functions use them. Wouldn't we overwrite test FPRs if
printing in a handler?
If printf uses the FPRs in my opinion we should modify the compilation options for the library.
What is the reason for printf and related functions to use floating point?
Register spilling. This can and will be done.
Hum, can you please clarify?
AFAIK register spilling is for a compiler, to use memory if it has not
enough registers.
So your answer is for the my first sentence, meaning yes register
spilling will be done
or
do you mean register spilling is the reason why the compiler use FPRs
and it must be done so?
Thanks,
Pierre
Cheers.
I will have a deeper look at this.
