Tasks:
\begin{itemize}
\item
Utterly stomp out C functions' prologues and epilogues; i.e., the
stuff to do with the C stack.
\item
Any other required tidying up.
\end{itemize}

General note [chak]: Many regexps are very fragile because they rely on white
space being in the right place.  This caused trouble with gcc 2.95 (at least
on Linux), where the use of white space in .s files generated by gcc suddenly 
changed.  To guarantee compatibility across different versions of gcc, make
sure (at least on i386-.*-linux) that regexps tolerate varying amounts of white
space between an assembler statement and its arguments as well as after a the
comma separating multiple arguments.  

\emph{For the time being, I have corrected the regexps for i386-.*-linux.  I
didn't touch all the regexps for other i386 platforms, as I don't have
a box to test these changes.}

HPPA specific notes:
\begin{itemize}
\item
The HP linker is very picky about symbols being in the appropriate
space (code vs. data).  When we mangle the threaded code to put the
info tables just prior to the code, they wind up in code space
rather than data space.  This means that references to *_info from
un-mangled parts of the RTS (e.g. unthreaded GC code) get
unresolved symbols.  Solution:  mini-mangler for .c files on HP.  I
think this should really be triggered in the driver by a new -rts
option, so that user code doesn't get mangled inappropriately.
\item
With reversed tables, jumps are to the _info label rather than to
the _entry label.  The _info label is just an address in code
space, rather than an entry point with the descriptive blob we
talked about yesterday.  As a result, you can't use the call-style
JMP_ macro.  However, some JMP_ macros take _info labels as targets
and some take code entry points within the RTS.  The latter won't
work with the goto-style JMP_ macro.  Sigh.  Solution: Use the goto
style JMP_ macro, and mangle some more assembly, changing all
"RP'literal" and "LP'literal" references to "R'literal" and
"L'literal," so that you get the real address of the code, rather
than the descriptive blob.  Also change all ".word P%literal"
entries in info tables and vector tables to just ".word literal,"
for the same reason.  Advantage: No more ridiculous call sequences.
\end{itemize}

On IA64, tail calls are converted to branches at this point.  The mangler
searches for function calls immediately followed by a '--- TAILCALL ---'
token.  Since the compiler can put various combinations of labels, bundling
directives, nop instructions, stops, and a move of the return value
between the branch and the tail call, proper matching of the tail call
gets a little hairy.  This subroutine does the mangling.

Here is an example of a tail call before mangling:

\begin{verbatim}
	br.call.sptk.many b0 = b6
.L211
	;;
	.mmi
	mov r1 = r32
	;;
	nop.m 0
	nop.i 0
	;;
	--- TAILCALL --
	;;
.L123
\end{verbatim}

\begin{code}
sub ia64_mangle_tailcalls {
    # Function input and output are in $c

    # Construct the tailcall-mangling expression the first time this function
    # is called.
    if (!defined($IA64_MATCH_TAILCALL)) {
        # One-line pattern matching constructs.  None of these
        # should bind references; all parenthesized terms
        # should be (?:) terms.
	my $stop       = q/(?:\t;;\n)/;
	my $bundle     = q/(?:\t\.(?:mii|mib|mmi|mmb|mfi|mfb|mbb|bbb)\n)/;
	my $nop        = q/(?:\tnop(?:\.[mifb])?\s+\d+\n)/;
	my $movgp      = q/(?:\tmov r1 = r\d+\n)/;
	my $postbr     = q/(?:\tbr \.L\d+\n)/;

	my $noeffect   = "(?:$stop$bundle?|$nop)*";
	my $postbundle = "(?:$bundle?$nop?$nop?$postbr)?";

	# Important parts of the pattern match.  The branch target
	# and subsequent jump label are bound to $1 and $2
	# respectively.  Sometimes there is no label.
	my $callbr    = q/^\tbr\.call\.sptk\.many b0 = (.*)\n/;
	my $label     = q/(?:^\.L([0-9]*):\n)/;
	my $tailcall  = q/\t--- TAILCALL ---\n/;

	$IA64_MATCH_TAILCALL =
	  $callbr . $label . '?' . $noeffect . $movgp . '?' . $noeffect .
	  $tailcall . $stop . '?' . '(?:' . $postbundle . ')?';
    }

    # Find and mangle tailcalls
    while ($c =~ s/$IA64_MATCH_TAILCALL/\tbr\.few $1\n/om) {
        # Eek, the gcc optimiser is getting smarter... if we see a jump to the
        # --- TAILCALL --- marker then we reapply the substitution at the source sites
        $c =~ s/^\tbr \.L$2\n/\t--- TAILCALL ---\n/gm if ($2);
    }

    # Verify that all instances of TAILCALL were processed
    if ($c =~ /^\t--- TAILCALL ---\n/m) {
        die "Unmangled TAILCALL tokens remain after mangling"
    }
}
\end{code}

The number of registers allocated on the IA64 register stack is set
upon entry to the runtime with an `alloc' instruction at the entry
point of \verb+StgRun()+.  Gcc uses its own `alloc' to allocate
however many registers it likes in each function.  When we discard
gcc's alloc, we have to reconcile its register assignment with what
the STG uses.

There are three stack areas: fixed registers, input/local registers,
and output registers.  We move the output registers to the output
register space and leave the other registers where they are.

\begin{code}
sub ia64_rename_registers() {
    # The text to be mangled is in $c
    # Find number of registers in each stack area
    my ($loc, $out) = @_;

tables from data space to code space, but unthreaded code in the RTS
still has references to info tables in data space.  Since the HP

references in the unthreaded RTS as well.
