Consider the following:
ldr r0, [r4]
ldr r7, [r0, #4]
cmp r7, r3
bhi .LBB0_6
cmp r0, r2
push {r0}
pop {r4}
bne .LBB0_3
movs r0, r6
pop {r4, r5, r6, r7}
pop {r1}
bx r1
Here is a snippet of the generated THUMB1 code of the K&R malloc
function that clang currently compiles to.
push {r0} ends up being popped to pop {r4}.
movs r4, r0 would destroy the flags set by cmp right above.
The compiler has no alternative in this case, except one:
the only alternative is to transfer through a high register.
However, it seems like LLVM does not consider that this is a valid
approach, even though it is a free clobbering a high register.
This patch addresses the FIXME so the compiler can do that when it can
in r10 or r11, or r12.
