Grr. I really should just do simple linear scan register allocation with the dumb pass-everything-on-the-stack ABI to start with, but I keep trying to map out how "do it right" with a more realistic pass-by-registers ABI, etc.
The desire to solve the whole problem "for real" is fighting with the desire to get a basic implementation working first.
Ideally I'd leave things in the argument registers as long as possible *and* avoid spilling to the stack around function calls...

Fabrice #Bellard is the French code monster who created QEMU, FFmpeg, Tiny C, and tonnes of other highly influential, highly efficient programmes.
But his 2002 IOCCC-winning Obfuscated Tiny C Compiler—a 2048-byte-long, self-hosting C #compiler—is special, even in the company of his other inventions.
