@ -16,6 +16,22 @@ We should make the following changes to clean up MachineInstr:
//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
With the recent changes to make the implicit def/use set explicit in
machineinstrs, we should change the target descriptions for 'call' instructions
so that the .td files don't list all the call-clobbered registers as implicit
defs. Instead, these should be added by the code generator (e.g. on the dag).
This has a number of uses:
1. PPC32/64 and X86 32/64 can avoid having multiple copies of call instructions
for their different impdef sets.
2. Targets with multiple calling convs (e.g. x86) which have different clobber
sets don't need copies of call instructions.
3. 'Interprocedural register allocation' can be done to reduce the clobber sets
of calls.

FreeBench/mason contains code like this:
