Description Frank Ch. Eigler 2012-03-11 15:07:59 UTC
Some work is underway in gcc to let it spill integer registers into the vector registers instead of to the stack, as a possible optimization.  So sooner or later, we'll encounter DWARF that requires pulling data out of %xmm999 or somesuch, even for plain old integer values.  loc2c and friends will need to support this.
