GCC does not specify the state of every last register in the CIE. Since
|
|
yann@96
|
4 |
GCC's focus is on correctness of runtime unwinding, any registers which
|
|
yann@96
|
5 |
have to be unwound will be specified; but unmodified registers will not
|
|
yann@96
|
6 |
be explicitly marked. (How about modified, call-clobbered registers?
|
|
yann@96
|
7 |
I'm not sure if they are marked as unavailable.)

GDB issues a noisy warning about this. The warning is generally not useful,
|
|
yann@96
|
10 |
and we can get it extremely frequently (any time we load a new CIE).

This patch disables the warning. Alternately we could set the complaints
|
|
yann@96
|
13 |
threshold to zero, or implement a default frame init-register method for
|
|
yann@96
|
14 |
every architecture. But someday the compiler will support using different
|
|
yann@96
|
15 |
calling conventions for internal functions, so that's not much of a stopgap.

ARM has a complex algorithm for handling this, involving scanning all CIEs -

benefit not completely clear outside of the ARM context of flexible register

|

sets.
