+<h4 class="subsection">18.9.5 Eliminating Frame Pointer and Arg Pointer</h4>
+
+<p>This is about eliminating the frame pointer and arg pointer.
+</p>
+<dl>
+<dt><a name="index-TARGET_005fFRAME_005fPOINTER_005fREQUIRED"></a>Target Hook: <em>bool</em> <strong>TARGET_FRAME_POINTER_REQUIRED</strong> <em>(void)</em></dt>
+<dd><p>This target hook should return <code>true</code> if a function must have and use
+a frame pointer. This target hook is called in the reload pass. If its return
+value is <code>true</code> the function will have a frame pointer.
+</p>
+<p>This target hook can in principle examine the current function and decide
+according to the facts, but on most machines the constant <code>false</code> or the
+constant <code>true</code> suffices. Use <code>false</code> when the machine allows code
+to be generated with no frame pointer, and doing so saves some time or space.
+Use <code>true</code> when there is no possible advantage to avoiding a frame
+pointer.
+</p>
+<p>In certain cases, the compiler does not know how to produce valid code
+without a frame pointer. The compiler recognizes those cases and
+automatically gives the function a frame pointer regardless of what
+<code>targetm.frame_pointer_required</code> returns. You don&rsquo;t need to worry about
+them.
+</p>
+<p>In a function that does not require a frame pointer, the frame pointer
+register can be allocated for ordinary usage, unless you mark it as a
+fixed register. See <code>FIXED_REGISTERS</code> for more information.
+</p>
+<p>Default return value is <code>false</code>.
+</p></dd></dl>
+
+<dl>
+<dt><a name="index-ELIMINABLE_005fREGS"></a>Macro: <strong>ELIMINABLE_REGS</strong></dt>
+<dd><p>This macro specifies a table of register pairs used to eliminate
+unneeded registers that point into the stack frame.
+</p>
+<p>The definition of this macro is a list of structure initializations, each
+of which specifies an original and replacement register.
+</p>
+<p>On some machines, the position of the argument pointer is not known until
+the compilation is completed. In such a case, a separate hard register
+must be used for the argument pointer. This register can be eliminated by
+replacing it with either the frame pointer or the argument pointer,
+depending on whether or not the frame pointer has been eliminated.
+</p>
+<p>In this case, you might specify:
+</p><div class="smallexample">
+<pre class="smallexample">#define ELIMINABLE_REGS \
+{{ARG_POINTER_REGNUM, STACK_POINTER_REGNUM}, \
+ {ARG_POINTER_REGNUM, FRAME_POINTER_REGNUM}, \
+ {FRAME_POINTER_REGNUM, STACK_POINTER_REGNUM}}
+</pre></div>
+
+<p>Note that the elimination of the argument pointer with the stack pointer is
+specified first since that is the preferred elimination.
+</p></dd></dl>
+
+<dl>
+<dt><a name="index-TARGET_005fCAN_005fELIMINATE"></a>Target Hook: <em>bool</em> <strong>TARGET_CAN_ELIMINATE</strong> <em>(const int <var>from_reg</var>, const int <var>to_reg</var>)</em></dt>
+<dd><p>This target hook should return <code>true</code> if the compiler is allowed to
+try to replace register number <var>from_reg</var> with register number
+<var>to_reg</var>. This target hook will usually be <code>true</code>, since most of the
+cases preventing register elimination are things that the compiler already
+knows about.
+</p>
+<p>Default return value is <code>true</code>.
+</p></dd></dl>
+
+<dl>
+<dt><a name="index-INITIAL_005fELIMINATION_005fOFFSET"></a>Macro: <strong>INITIAL_ELIMINATION_OFFSET</strong> <em>(<var>from-reg</var>, <var>to-reg</var>, <var>offset-var</var>)</em></dt>
+<dd><p>This macro returns the initial difference between the specified pair
+of registers. The value would be computed from information
+such as the result of <code>get_frame_size ()</code> and the tables of
+registers <code>df_regs_ever_live_p</code> and <code>call_used_regs</code>.
+</p></dd></dl>
+
+<dl>
+<dt><a name="index-TARGET_005fCOMPUTE_005fFRAME_005fLAYOUT"></a>Target Hook: <em>void</em> <strong>TARGET_COMPUTE_FRAME_LAYOUT</strong> <em>(void)</em></dt>
+<dd><p>This target hook is called once each time the frame layout needs to be
+recalculated. The calculations can be cached by the target and can then
+be used by <code>INITIAL_ELIMINATION_OFFSET</code> instead of re-computing the
+layout on every invocation of that hook. This is particularly useful
+for targets that have an expensive frame layout function. Implementing
+this callback is optional.
