parameters. Examples of these are:
struct { } a;
union { } b[256];
int a[0];
An empty aggregate has an address, although dereferencing that address is
pointless. When passed as a parameter, an empty aggregate does not consume
a protocol register, nor does it consume a doubleword in the parameter save
area. Passing an empty aggregate by reference passes an address just as
for any other aggregate. Returning an empty aggregate uses GPR3 as a hidden
address of the return value location, just as for any other aggregate.
The patch modifies PPCTargetLowering::LowerFormalArguments_64SVR4 and
PPCTargetLowering::LowerCall_64SVR4 to properly skip empty aggregate
parameters passed by value. The handling of return values and by-reference
parameters was already correct.
Built on powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu and tested with no new regressions.
A test case is included to test proper handling of empty aggregate
parameters on both sides of the function call protocol.
