i386: Change indirect_return to function type attribute
In struct ucontext; typedef struct ucontext ucontext_t; extern int (*bar) (ucontext_t *__restrict __oucp, const ucontext_t *__restrict __ucp) __attribute__((__indirect_return__)); extern int res; void foo (ucontext_t *oucp, ucontext_t *ucp) { res = bar (oucp, ucp); } bar() may return via indirect branch. This patch changes indirect_return to type attribute to allow indirect_return attribute on variable or type of function pointer so that ENDBR can be inserted after call to bar(). gcc/ PR target/86560 * config/i386/i386.c (rest_of_insert_endbranch): Lookup indirect_return as function type attribute. (ix86_attribute_table): Change indirect_return to function type attribute. * doc/extend.texi: Update indirect_return attribute. gcc/testsuite/ PR target/86560 * gcc.target/i386/pr86560-1.c: New test. * gcc.target/i386/pr86560-2.c: Likewise. * gcc.target/i386/pr86560-3.c: Likewise.

-The @code{indirect_return} attribute on a function is used to inform
-the compiler that the function may return via indirect branch.
+The @code{indirect_return} attribute can be applied to a function,
+as well as variable or type of function pointer to inform the
+compiler that the function may return via indirect branch.
