Subject: [PATCH 1/5] arm: LLVMLinux: Add current_stack_pointer macro for ARM
Date: Fri, 6 Sep 2013 17:28:07 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1378502899-1241-2-git-send-email-behanw@converseincode.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1378502899-1241-1-git-send-email-behanw@converseincode.com>
From: Behan Webster <behanw@converseincode.com>
A macro to get the current stack pointer which allows for a single place in
which to do so with ASM. Before this named registers (a gcc extension) was used
to get the stack pointer. Using ASM is a more portable way of getting the stack
pointer which works with both gcc and clang. This macro is of the same name
used in the X86 arch.
