Hi,

more precisely, to a nested function that requires a static chain.  The reason 
is that the sibling call epilogue may clobber the static chain register r11.

Tested on PowerPC/Linux, OK for the mainline?


2018-09-17  Eric Botcazou  <ebotcazou@adacore.com>

	* config/rs6000/rs6000.c (rs6000_function_ok_for_sibcall): Return false
	if the call takes a static chain.

	* gcc.dg/nested-func-11.c: New test.

We could probably make sibcalls work with static chain, but that is most
likely not worth it.  Could you change the comment to say something like
that?

Approved for trunk and backports.  Thanks!

I'm seeing a testism on the GCC 7 branch due to the noipa attribute in the testcase.
I think it doesn't exist in GCC 7 so we're getting a test for excess errors FAIL:

warning: 'noipa' attribute directive ignored [-Wattributes]

Any chance we can adjust the testcase?

Thanks,
Kyrill
