void casts in save/restore context macrosPosted by Stephen Cleary on March 30, 2011 In the GCC/ARM7_AT91SAM7S port, both the portSAVE_CONTEXT and portRESTORE_CONTEXT macros declare variables (pxCurrentTCB and ulCriticalNesting) that are cast to void, presumably to avoid a compiler warning. However, since the variables are declared volatile, the compiler is dutifully generating code to read them and discard the values. Here's the disassembly for vPortISRStartFirstTask (which only calls portRESTORE_CONTEXT), as compiled by Rowley (gcc 4.4.5) in release mode: E59F0240 ldr r0, 0x00000248 // First line of portRESTORE_CONTEXT macro E5900000 ldr r0, [r0] E590E000 ldr lr, [r0] E59F0238 ldr r0, 0x0000024C E8BE0002 ldm lr!, {r1} E5801000 str r1, [r0] E8BE0001 ldm lr!, {r0} E169F000 msr spsr_cf r0 E8DE7FFF ldmia lr, {r0-lr}^ E1A00000 mov r0, r0 E59EE03C ldr lr, [lr, #0x3C] E25EF004 subs pc, lr, #4 // Last line of portRESTORE_CONTEXT macro E59F300C ldr r3, 0x00000044 E5933000 ldr r3, [r3] E59F3008 ldr r3, 0x00000048 E5933000 ldr r3, [r3] E12FFF1E bx lr // Start of standard epilogue (also unnecessary) 00000000 andeq r0, r0, r0 00000000 andeq r0, r0, r0 The portSAVE_CONTEXT macro has a similar problem, and actually executes the instructions. I believe __attribute__((unused)) and possibly also __attribute__((noreturn)) could be used to reduce some of the generated code (and make for slightly faster context switches since portSAVE_CONTEXT currently always executes 4 noops).
