Yes, of course: "preserved" means you have to save a register before
using it. On the positive side, it's contents will get preserved
across calls.
CH> Just wondering why isn't there a standard calling convention on IA-64.
CH> Something of this sort(if at all to be saved):
CH> rp has to be saved in loc0
CH> sp has to be saved in loc1
CH> gp has to be saved in loc2
That would needlessly constrain code optimization. For example, on
ia64, it's almost never necessary to save sp.
