For the most part, these options mirror the behavior of similar command-line options (see <a class="pxref" href="aarch64-options">AArch64 Options</a>), but on a per-function basis. </p> <dl class="table"> <dt>
+<span><code class="code">general-regs-only</code><a class="copiable-link" href="#index-general-regs-only-function-attribute_002c-AArch64"> ¶</a></span>
+</dt> <dd>
+<p>Indicates that no floating-point or Advanced SIMD registers should be used when generating code for this function. If the function explicitly uses floating-point code, then the compiler gives an error. This is the same behavior as that of the command-line option <samp class="option">-mgeneral-regs-only</samp>. </p> </dd> <dt>

+<p>Indicates that the workaround for the Cortex-A53 erratum 835769 should be applied to this function. To explicitly disable the workaround for this function specify the negated form: <code class="code">no-fix-cortex-a53-835769</code>. This corresponds to the behavior of the command line options <samp class="option">-mfix-cortex-a53-835769</samp> and <samp class="option">-mno-fix-cortex-a53-835769</samp>. </p> </dd> <dt>

To allow the compiler to assume that aligned memory references are handled by the system, the inverse attribute <code class="code">no-strict-align</code> can be specified.

+<p>Indicates that the frame pointer should be omitted for a leaf function call. To keep the frame pointer, the inverse attribute <code class="code">no-omit-leaf-frame-pointer</code> can be specified. These attributes have the same behavior as the command-line options <samp class="option">-momit-leaf-frame-pointer</samp> and <samp class="option">-mno-omit-leaf-frame-pointer</samp>. </p> </dd> <dt>

+<p>Enable or disable calls to out-of-line helpers to implement atomic operations. This corresponds to the behavior of the command line options <samp class="option">-moutline-atomics</samp> and <samp class="option">-mno-outline-atomics</samp>. </p> </dd> </dl> <p>The above target attributes can be specified as follows: </p> <div class="example smallexample"> <pre class="example-preformatted" data-language="cpp">__attribute__((target("<var class="var">attr-string</var>")))
+int
+f (int a)
+{
+  return a + 5;
+}</pre>
+</div> <p>where <code class="code"><var class="var">attr-string</var></code> is one of the attribute strings specified above. </p> <p>Additionally, the architectural extension string may be specified on its own. This can be used to turn on and off particular architectural extensions without having to specify a particular architecture version or core. Example: </p> <div class="example smallexample"> <pre class="example-preformatted" data-language="cpp">__attribute__((target("+crc+nocrypto")))
+int
+foo (int a)
+{
+  return a + 5;
+}</pre>
+</div> <p>In this example <code class="code">target("+crc+nocrypto")</code> enables the <code class="code">crc</code> extension and disables the <code class="code">crypto</code> extension for the function <code class="code">foo</code> without modifying an existing <samp class="option">-march=</samp> or <samp class="option">-mcpu</samp> option. </p> <p>Multiple target function attributes can be specified by separating them with a comma. For example: </p>
+<div class="example smallexample"> <pre class="example-preformatted" data-language="cpp">__attribute__((target("arch=armv8-a+crc+crypto,tune=cortex-a53")))
+int
+foo (int a)
+{
+  return a + 5;
+}</pre>
+</div> <p>is valid and compiles function <code class="code">foo</code> for ARMv8-A with <code class="code">crc</code> and <code class="code">crypto</code> extensions and tunes it for <code class="code">cortex-a53</code>. </p> <ul class="mini-toc"> <li><a href="#Inlining-rules" accesskey="1">Inlining rules</a></li> </ul> <div class="subsubsection-level-extent" id="Inlining-rules"> <h1 class="subsubsection"><span>6.33.2.1 Inlining rules<a class="copiable-link" href="#Inlining-rules"> ¶</a></span></h1> <p>Specifying target attributes on individual functions or performing link-time optimization across translation units compiled with different target options can affect function inlining rules: </p> <p>In particular, a caller function can inline a callee function only if the architectural features available to the callee are a subset of the features available to the caller. For example: A function <code class="code">foo</code> compiled with <samp class="option">-march=armv8-a+crc</samp>, or tagged with the equivalent <code class="code">arch=armv8-a+crc</code> attribute, can inline a function <code class="code">bar</code> compiled with <samp class="option">-march=armv8-a+nocrc</samp> because the all the architectural features that function <code class="code">bar</code> requires are available to function <code class="code">foo</code>. Conversely, function <code class="code">bar</code> cannot inline function <code class="code">foo</code>. </p> <p>Additionally inlining a function compiled with <samp class="option">-mstrict-align</samp> into a function compiled without <code class="code">-mstrict-align</code> is not allowed. However, inlining a function compiled without <samp class="option">-mstrict-align</samp> into a function compiled with <samp class="option">-mstrict-align</samp> is allowed. </p> <p>Note that CPU tuning options and attributes such as the <samp class="option">-mcpu=</samp>, <samp class="option">-mtune=</samp> do not inhibit inlining unless the CPU specified by the <samp class="option">-mcpu=</samp> option or the <code class="code">cpu=</code> attribute conflicts with the architectural feature rules specified above. </p> </div> </div>  <div class="nav-panel"> <p> Next: <a href="amd-gcn-function-attributes">AMD GCN Function Attributes</a>, Previous: <a href="common-function-attributes">Common Function Attributes</a>, Up: <a href="function-attributes">Declaring Attributes of Functions</a> [<a href="index#SEC_Contents" title="Table of contents" rel="contents">Contents</a>][<a href="indices" title="Index" rel="index">Index</a>]</p> </div><div class="_attribution">
