Expand description

Function argument location.

The ABI specifies how arguments are passed to a function, and where return values appear after the call. Just like a ValueLoc, function arguments can be passed in registers or on the stack.

Function arguments on the stack are accessed differently for the incoming arguments to the current function and the outgoing arguments to a called external function. For this reason, the location of stack arguments is described as an offset into the array of function arguments on the stack.

An ArgumentLoc can be translated to a ValueLoc only when we know if we’re talking about an incoming argument or an outgoing argument.

  • For stack arguments, different StackSlot entities are used to represent incoming and outgoing arguments.
  • For register arguments, there is usually no difference, but if we ever add support for a register-window ISA like SPARC, register arguments would also need to be translated.

Variants§

§

Unassigned

This argument has not been assigned to a location yet.

§

Reg(RegUnit)

Argument is passed in a register.

§

Stack(i32)

Argument is passed on the stack, at the given byte offset into the argument array.

Implementations§

Is this an assigned location? (That is, not Unassigned).

Is this a register location?

Is this a stack location?

Return an object that can display this argument location, using the register info from the target ISA.
