I was more concerned about getting the instruction count correctly, which would be 1.5 for the JRS.HB case, however I think you can just set the `length' attribute directly, to 6. Still the issue of having separate almost identical patterns remains, as barring the use of `%!' I think you'll need to qualify them with TARGET_MICROMIPS and !TARGET_MICROMIPS respectively, to have different instruction mnemonics. In this case I think you could write (untested): (define_insn "mips_hb_return_internal" [(return) (unspec_volatile [(match_operand 0 "pmode_register_operand" ",")] UNSPEC_JRHB)] "" "@ %(jrs.hb\t$31%/%) %(jr.hb\t$31%/%)" [(set_attr "compression" "micromips,*") (set_attr "length" "6,8")]) however the equivalent for `clear_hazard_' would be rather horrible (OTOH eventually it should use ADDIUPC in its SImode microMIPS variant, so perhaps this is acceptable as we'll have multiple different sequences anyway). For microMIPSr6 we'll then just have another variant with no delay slot. Maciej

I think this case is so specialist we can safely just switch to writing out the NOP directly in the output pattern just keeping the %(%) for noreorder. This code will have to be reworked with microMIPSR6 when submitted so it can be handled then; good spot to use jrs.hb. Thanks, Matthew

Prachi Godbolewrites: > Please find the updated patch below. I hope I've covered everything. > I've added the test for inline restriction, could you check if I got all > the options correct? I think the test is probably good enough. It is a little too forgiving due to handling the indirect call case to foo which could just detect an indirect call from foo to bar (the placement of a scan-assembler in the .c file has no impact on where in the generated output it will match in the corresponding .s). Given that the test would fail appropriately on a bare metal configuration (which is where this is likely to be most useful) then I think that is sufficient. Watch out for the long lines in comments.

Of course it wouldn't do if we rewrote the instruction pattern as "%(jr%!.hb\t$31%/%)" here, because the NOP that follows would have to come from an RTL instruction for `%!' to have any effect. But perhaps we could emit RTL instead somehow rather than hardcoding the NOP with `%/'? Maciej

Sorry for not getting back to this after stage1 opened. This looks like a great idea. I'm slightly concerned about what will happen if code uses this attribute and is built by older tools. The problem being that it will just get a warning and that may or may not be strong enough for a user to notice they did not get a jr.hb and then go on to get weird runtime failures. That said we don't have this kind of feature detection for all the new attributes relating to interrupts so perhaps we just leave this to -Werror and/or configure time detection of the feature.
