Re: [avr-llvm-devel] Regression tests

[Borja F. <bor...@gm...>]

return test:
1) you can remove the @return8_reg() test since it's completely commented
out.
2) in return64_arg2 you're always going to push r29:r28 as we disccused in
a previous email, so you can remove the SPLOW/HI vars, also SP is going to
be always the Y reg pair. Using Z here would be a bug.
3) in return64_trunc same as in point 2.
4) add a :TODO: test returning byval structs.

call test:
1) in the icall test, the code you're testing is a bit fragile. Basically
if you run it with -O3 it will get optimized away and you wont get an
icall. Instead, generate the icall using a function pointer from an
incoming argument.
2) do the same as in 1 but passing an argument to the icall (any data type
will do). (remember i had to fix this last week, so testing it is imporant
in case it breaks again in the future)
3) do the same as in 1 using the return value of the icall (any data type
will do).

One general thing concerning all written tests up to now, can you change
all imm values (including the ones already commited), so that you don't
test things like "ldi reg, 0". So for a 16bit type instead of using a 5 use
a value were none of the registers are zero like 0xABCD instead of 0x0005
where the hi part is 0. In the future we'll add an optimization that relies
on r0 having a 0, so many tests will break because of this since we could
get a mov reg, r0 instead of an ldi.

I'll reply tomorrow with comments about the memory tests.
