9// This describes the calling conventions for AArch64 architecture.
10//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//

13// The AArch64 Procedure Call Standard is unfortunately specified at a slightly
14// higher level of abstraction than LLVM's target interface presents. In
15// particular, it refers (like other ABIs, in fact) directly to
16// structs. However, generic LLVM code takes the liberty of lowering structure
17// arguments to the component fields before we see them.
18//
19// As a result, the obvious direct map from LLVM IR to PCS concepts can't be
20// implemented, so the goals of this calling convention are, in decreasing
21// priority order:
22//     1. Expose *some* way to express the concepts required to implement the
23//        generic PCS from a front-end.
24//     2. Provide a sane ABI for pure LLVM.
25//     3. Follow the generic PCS as closely as is naturally possible.
26//
27// The suggested front-end implementation of PCS features is:
28//     * Integer, float and vector arguments of all sizes which end up in
29//       registers are passed and returned via the natural LLVM type.
30//     * Structure arguments with size <= 16 bytes are passed and returned in
31//       registers as similar integer or composite types. For example:
32//       [1 x i64], [2 x i64] or [1 x i128] (if alignment 16 needed).
33//     * HFAs in registers follow rules similar to small structs: appropriate
34//       composite types.
35//     * Structure arguments with size > 16 bytes are passed via a pointer,
36//       handled completely by the front-end.
37//     * Structure return values > 16 bytes via an sret pointer argument.
38//     * Other stack-based arguments (not large structs) are passed using byval
39//       pointers. Padding arguments are added beforehand to guarantee a large
40//       struct doesn't later use integer registers.
41//
42// N.b. this means that it is the front-end's responsibility (if it cares about
43// PCS compliance) to check whether enough registers are available for an
44// argument when deciding how to pass it.
