accessed in the same way and in addition contain a field
@code{CALL_INSN_FUNCTION_USAGE}, which contains a list (chain of
@code{expr_list} expressions) containing @code{use} and @code{clobber}
expressions that denote hard registers used or clobbered by the called
function. A register specified in a @code{clobber} in this list is
modified @emph{after} the execution of the @code{call_insn}, while a
register in a @code{clobber} in the body of the @code{call_insn} is
clobbered before the insn completes execution. @code{clobber}
expressions in this list augment registers specified in
expressions that denote hard registers and @code{MEM}s used or
clobbered by the called function.
A @code{MEM} generally points to a stack slots in which arguments passed
to the libcall by reference (@pxref{Register Arguments,
FUNCTION_ARG_PASS_BY_REFERENCE}) are stored. If the argument is
caller-copied (@pxref{Register Arguments, FUNCTION_ARG_CALLEE_COPIES}),
the stack slot will be mentioned in @code{CLOBBER} and @code{USE}
entries; if it's callee-copied, only a @code{USE} will appear, and the
@code{MEM} may point to addresses that are not stack slots. These
@code{MEM}s are used only in libcalls, because, unlike regular function
calls, @code{CONST_CALL}s (which libcalls generally are, @pxref{Flags,
CONST_CALL_P}) aren't assumed to read and write all memory, so flow
would consider the stores dead and remove them. Note that, since a
libcall must never return values in memory (@pxref{Aggregate Return,
RETURN_IN_MEMORY}), there will never be a @code{CLOBBER} for a memory
address holding a return value.
@code{CLOBBER}ed registers in this list augment registers specified in
@code{CALL_USED_REGISTERS} (@pxref{Register Basics}).
