targhooks - provide an alternative hook for targets that never execute speculatively
This hook adds an alternative implementation for the target hook TARGET_HAVE_SPECULATION_SAFE_VALUE; it can be used by targets that have no CPU implementations that execute code speculatively. All that is needed for such targets now is to add: #undef TARGET_HAVE_SPECULATION_SAFE_VALUE #define TARGET_HAVE_SPECULATION_SAFE_VALUE speculation_safe_value_not_needed. to where you have your other target hooks and you're done. gcc: * targhooks.h (speculation_safe_value_not_needed): New prototype. * targhooks.c (speculation_safe_value_not_needed): New function. * target.def (have_speculation_safe_value): Update documentation. * doc/tm.texi: Regenerated.
