The following test code is distilled from a real use case. This is with Astrobe for Cortex-M0 v9.2. MODULE M; VAR v0: INTEGER; PROCEDURE p0(i0, i1, i2, i3, i4, i5: INTEGER; i6: INTEGER; b7: BOOLEAN); END p0; PROCEDURE p1(i0, i1, i2, i3, i4, i5: INTEGER; b6: BOOLEAN; i7: INTEGER); END p1; PROCEDURE p...

Oops! Seems I was so impressed by the optimisation that I had blanked out the last part. :)

The ARM Architecture Procedure Call Standard (AAPCS) stipulates that, upon calling a procedure 1) registers r0 to r3, and r12, are "caller saved", ie. the called procedure is free to mutate them. 2) registers r4 to r11 are "callee saved", ie. the called procedure must save and restore these register...

Compiling this exception handler PROCEDURE h[0]; BEGIN SYSTEM.LDREG(4, 13) END h; generates this code PROCEDURE h[0]; BEGIN . 1584 0630H 0B500H push { lr } SYSTEM.LDREG(4, 13) END h; . 1586 0632H 0200DH movs r0,#13 . 1588 0634H 04604H mov r4,r0 . 1590 0636H 0BD00H pop { pc } That is, register r4 is ...

Via a typo I have come across this (Astrobe for Cortex-M0v 9.1): MODULE M; TYPE R = RECORD x: INTEGER; x: INTEGER; y: INTEGER END; PROCEDURE p; VAR r: R; BEGIN r.x := 13; r.y := 17 END p; END M. Looking at the assembly code for 'p': PROCEDURE p; VAR r: R; BEGIN . 24 018H 0B500H push { lr } . 26 01AH...
