<h4 class="subsection">6.33.33 x86 Function Attributes</h4>
<p>These function attributes are supported by the x86 back end:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dd><a name="index-cdecl-function-attribute_002c-x86_002d32"></a>
<a name="index-functions-that-pop-the-argument-stack-on-x86_002d32"></a>
<a name="index-mrtd-2"></a>
</dd>
<dt><code>cdecl</code></dt>
<dd><p>On the x86-32 targets, the <code>cdecl</code> attribute causes the compiler to
assume that the calling function pops off the stack space used to
pass arguments. This is
useful to override the effects of the <samp>-mrtd</samp> switch.
</p>

The <code>thiscall</code> attribute is intended for C++ non-static member functions.
As a GCC extension, this calling convention can be used for C functions
and for static member methods.

<dd>
<p>On 32-bit and 64-bit x86 targets, you can use an ABI attribute
to indicate which calling convention should be used for a function. The
<code>ms_abi</code> attribute tells the compiler to use the Microsoft ABI,
while the <code>sysv_abi</code> attribute tells the compiler to use the System V
ELF ABI, which is used on GNU/Linux and other systems. The default is to use
the Microsoft ABI when targeting Windows. On all other systems, the default
is the System V ELF ABI.
</p>
<p>Note, the <code>ms_abi</code> attribute for Microsoft Windows 64-bit targets currently
requires the <samp>-maccumulate-outgoing-args</samp> option.

</dd>
<dt><code>callee_pop_aggregate_return (<var>number</var>)</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>On x86-32 targets, you can use this attribute to control how
aggregates are returned in memory. If the caller is responsible for
popping the hidden pointer together with the rest of the arguments, specify
<var>number</var> equal to zero. If callee is responsible for popping the
hidden pointer, specify <var>number</var> equal to one.
</p>
<p>The default x86-32 ABI assumes that the callee pops the
stack for hidden pointer. However, on x86-32 Microsoft Windows targets,
the compiler assumes that the
caller pops the stack for hidden pointer.

<dt><code>naked</code></dt>
<dd><p>This attribute allows the compiler to construct the
requisite function declaration, while allowing the body of the
function to be assembly code. The specified function will not have
prologue/epilogue sequences generated by the compiler. Only basic
<code>asm</code> statements can safely be included in naked functions
(see <a href="Basic-Asm.html#Basic-Asm">Basic Asm</a>). While using extended <code>asm</code> or a mixture of
basic <code>asm</code> and C code may appear to work, they cannot be
depended upon to work reliably and are not supported.

</dd>
<dt><code>regparm (<var>number</var>)</code></dt>
<dd><p>On x86-32 targets, the <code>regparm</code> attribute causes the compiler to
pass arguments number one to <var>number</var> if they are of integral type
in registers EAX, EDX, and ECX instead of on the stack. Functions that
take a variable number of arguments continue to be passed all of their
arguments on the stack.
</p>
<p>Beware that on some ELF systems this attribute is unsuitable for
global functions in shared libraries with lazy binding (which is the
default). Lazy binding sends the first call via resolving code in
the loader, which might assume EAX, EDX and ECX can be clobbered, as
per the standard calling conventions. Solaris 8 is affected by this.
Systems with the GNU C Library version 2.1 or higher
and FreeBSD are believed to be
safe since the loaders there save EAX, EDX and ECX. (Lazy binding can be
disabled with the linker or the loader if desired, to avoid the
problem.)

<dd><p>On x86-32 targets with SSE support, the <code>sseregparm</code> attribute

<dd><p>On x86 targets, the <code>force_align_arg_pointer</code> attribute may be
applied to individual function definitions, generating an alternate
prologue and epilogue that realigns the run-time stack if necessary.
This supports mixing legacy codes that run with a 4-byte aligned stack
with modern codes that keep a 16-byte stack for SSE compatibility.

<dt><code>no_caller_saved_registers</code></dt>
<dd><p>Use this attribute to indicate that the specified function has no
caller-saved registers. That is, all registers are callee-saved. For
example, this attribute can be used for a function called from an
interrupt handler. The compiler generates proper function entry and
exit sequences to save and restore any modified registers, except for
the EFLAGS register. Since GCC doesn’t preserve SSE, MMX nor x87
states, the GCC option <samp>-mgeneral-regs-only</samp> should be used to
compile functions with <code>no_caller_saved_registers</code> attribute.
</p>
<a name="index-interrupt-function-attribute_002c-x86"></a>
</dd>
<dt><code>interrupt</code></dt>
<dd><p>Use this attribute to indicate that the specified function is an
interrupt handler or an exception handler (depending on parameters passed
to the function, explained further). The compiler generates function
entry and exit sequences suitable for use in an interrupt handler when
this attribute is present. The <code>IRET</code> instruction, instead of the
<code>RET</code> instruction, is used to return from interrupt handlers. All
registers, except for the EFLAGS register which is restored by the
<code>IRET</code> instruction, are preserved by the compiler. Since GCC
doesn’t preserve SSE, MMX nor x87 states, the GCC option
<samp>-mgeneral-regs-only</samp> should be used to compile interrupt and
exception handlers.
</p>
<p>Any interruptible-without-stack-switch code must be compiled with
<samp>-mno-red-zone</samp> since interrupt handlers can and will, because
of the hardware design, touch the red zone.
</p>
<p>An interrupt handler must be declared with a mandatory pointer
argument:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">struct interrupt_frame;
__attribute__ ((interrupt))
void
f (struct interrupt_frame *frame)
{
}
</pre></div>
<p>and you must define <code>struct interrupt_frame</code> as described in the
processor’s manual.
</p>
<p>Exception handlers differ from interrupt handlers because the system
pushes an error code on the stack. An exception handler declaration is
similar to that for an interrupt handler, but with a different mandatory
function signature. The compiler arranges to pop the error code off the
stack before the <code>IRET</code> instruction.
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">#ifdef __x86_64__
typedef unsigned long long int uword_t;
#else
typedef unsigned int uword_t;
#endif
struct interrupt_frame;
__attribute__ ((interrupt))
void
f (struct interrupt_frame *frame, uword_t error_code)
{
...
}
</pre></div>
<p>Exception handlers should only be used for exceptions that push an error
code; you should use an interrupt handler in other cases. The system
will crash if the wrong kind of handler is used.

<dd><p>On x86 targets, the <code>function_return</code> attribute causes the compiler
to convert function return with <var>choice</var>. ‘<samp>keep</samp>’ keeps function
return unmodified. ‘<samp>thunk</samp>’ converts function return to call and
return thunk. ‘<samp>thunk-inline</samp>’ converts function return to inlined
call and return thunk. ‘<samp>thunk-extern</samp>’ converts function return to
external call and return thunk provided in a separate object file.

<dt><code>nocf_check</code></dt>
<dd><p>The <code>nocf_check</code> attribute on a function is used to inform the
compiler that the function’s prologue should not be instrumented when
compiled with the <samp>-fcf-protection=branch</samp> option. The
compiler assumes that the function’s address is a valid target for a
control-flow transfer.
</p>
<p>The <code>nocf_check</code> attribute on a type of pointer to function is
used to inform the compiler that a call through the pointer should
not be instrumented when compiled with the
<samp>-fcf-protection=branch</samp> option. The compiler assumes
that the function’s address from the pointer is a valid target for
a control-flow transfer. A direct function call through a function
name is assumed to be a safe call thus direct calls are not
instrumented by the compiler.
</p>
<p>The <code>nocf_check</code> attribute is applied to an object’s type.
In case of assignment of a function address or a function pointer to
another pointer, the attribute is not carried over from the right-hand
object’s type; the type of left-hand object stays unchanged. The
compiler checks for <code>nocf_check</code> attribute mismatch and reports
a warning in case of mismatch.
