RISC-V: Correct and improve the "-mabi" documentation
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The documentation for the "-mabi" argument on RISC-V was incorrect.  We
chose to treat this as a documentation bug rather than a code bug, and
to make the documentation match what GCC currently does.  In the
process, I also improved the documentation a bit.

Thanks to Alex Bradbury for finding the bug!

@item -mabi=@var{ABI-string}
@opindex mabi
Specify integer and floating-point calling convention. This defaults to the
natural calling convention: e.g.@ LP64 for RV64I, ILP32 for RV32I, LP64D for
RV64G.
@item -mabi=@var{ABI-string}
@opindex mabi
Specify integer and floating-point calling convention. @var{ABI-string}
contains two parts: the size of integer types and the registers used for
floating-point types. For example @samp{-march=rv64ifd -mabi=lp64d} means that
@samp{long} and pointers are 64-bit (implicitly defining @samp{int} to be
32-bit), and that floating-point values up to 64 bits wide are passed in F
registers. Contrast this with @samp{-march=rv64ifd -mabi=lp64f}, which still
allows the compiler to generate code that uses the F and D extensions but only
allows floating-point values up to 32 bits long to be passed in registers; or
@samp{-march=rv64ifd -mabi=lp64}, in which no floating-point arguments will be
passed in registers.

The default for this argument is system dependent, users who want a specific
calling convention should specify one explicitly. The valid calling
conventions are: @samp{ilp32}, @samp{ilp32f}, @samp{ilp32d}, @samp{lp64},
@samp{lp64f}, and @samp{lp64d}. Some calling conventions are impossible to
implement on some ISAs: for example, @samp{-march=rv32if -mabi=ilp32d} is
invalid because the ABI requires 64-bit values be passed in F registers, but F
registers are only 32 bits wide.
