This file documents a number of open topics in the ABI:
- Geert Bosch has a number of smaller nitpits. Let's get hold of them
and integrate them.
- Check layout. All figures should look the same
- Run a spell checker on the document.
- Proof-read and check english, most of us aren't native speakers.
- Should we enforce alignment for SSE?
- Should we declare some global XMM registers?
- Define values of FPU control words
- The figure "Stack Frame" should be clarified: %rbp is optional
- Is vararg passing really the same as non-vararg passing? Is this
handled correctly?
- Check that all examples are correct according to the ABI.
- Define Exception handling (see Geert's proposal)
- Add more examples
- sizeof (long double) is 16 - is this still needed?
- use better terms than doubleword etc.
- Ideas for passing of arguments:
1) we may want to merge "SSE" and "integer" to "SSE" instead of integer,
since we can do quite a lot of integer operations in SSE, but not vice
versa.
2) we may want to increase size of aggregates passed in registers - unlike
runtime approach this is just change of single constant
3) what about packed types?
4) overall idea of classifying doublewords is based on the fact, that
we are using a direct mapping between argument area and regnos.
This is no-longer true, so for instance we may want to pass
structures as if each field was a distinct argument. The advantage
is more direct access to types smaller than 64 bits. The
disadvantage is that we will need more moves if the structure is in
memory and waste more registers.
5) we may want to be more aggresive on using SSEUP - for instance
array for 4 floats can be easily passed in SSE. A problem is with
alignment. Just few structures will get so large alignment, so
maybe this is doomed.
6) (HPA) Should we pass long doubles on the stack?
- Write "Process Initialization" section
- Return values: Should we set \RDI for returning?
In this case, the called function also sets \RDI to the value of
the original address in the callee's area before it returns. Thus
when the caller receives control again, the address of the returned
object resides in register \RDI and can be used to access the
object.

\chapter{Conventions}
\editornote{This chapter is used to document some features special to
the \xARCH ABI. The different sections might be moved to another
place or removed completely.}
\section{GOT pointer and IP relative addressing}
\index{global offset table}
A basic difference between the i386 ABI and the \xARCH ABI is the
way the GOT table is found. The i386 ABI, like (most) other processor
specific ABIs, uses a dedicated register (\reg{ebx}) to address the
base of the GOT table. The function prologue of every function needs
to set up this register to the correct value. The \xARCH processor
family introduces a new IP-relative addressing mode which is used in
this ABI instead of using a dedicated register.
On \xARCH the GOT table contains 64 bit entries.
\section{Execution of 32bit programs}
% Let's follow Sparc64 and MIPS64
The \xARCH is able to execute 64 bit \xARCH and also 32 bit ia32
programs. Libraries conforming to the \intelabi will live in the
normal places like \path{/lib}, \path{/usr/lib} and \path{/usr/bin}.
Libraries following the \xARCH, will use \path{lib64} subdirectories
for the libraries, e.g \path{/lib64} and \path{/usr/lib64}. Programs
conforming to \intelabi and to the \xARCH ABI will share directories
like \path{/usr/bin}. In particular, there will be no \path{bin64}
directory.
\section{C++\label{section-cpp}}
For the \textindex{C++} ABI we will use the ia64 C++ ABI and instantiate it
appropriately. The current draft of that ABI is available at:\\
