Unfortunately, I still get a few regressions, see below. They all
seem to be problems with not skipping the complete prologue. I get
the feeling that using line number information for prologue skipping
is just not reliable :(.
It's true that it isn't completely reliable, but it's usually "good
enough" and has its own advantages - it's better than accidentally
walking off into the epilogue, for instance, as this code is currently
somewhat prone to.
What version of GCC are you using? Perhaps I can reproduce it with a
different version.
Hi Mark, did you miss this question? I'd really like to figure out why
this patch causes regressions for you.
