![]() NVPTX: Avoid PassMode::Direct for args in C abi
Fixes #117480
I must admit that I'm confused about `PassMode` altogether, is there a good sum-up threads for this anywhere? I'm especially confused about how "indirect" and "byval" goes together. To me it seems like "indirect" basically means "use a indirection through a pointer", while "byval" basically means "do not use indirection through a pointer".
The return used to keep `PassMode::Direct` for small aggregates. It turns out that `make_indirect` messes up the tests and one way to fix it is to keep `PassMode::Direct` for all aggregates. I have mostly seen this PassMode mentioned for args. Is it also a problem for returns? When experimenting with `byval` as an alternative i ran into [this assert](

This is the main source code repository for Rust. It contains the compiler, standard library, and documentation.
Why Rust?
-
Performance: Fast and memory-efficient, suitable for critical services, embedded devices, and easily integrate with other languages.
-
Reliability: Our rich type system and ownership model ensure memory and thread safety, reducing bugs at compile-time.
-
Productivity: Comprehensive documentation, a compiler committed to providing great diagnostics, and advanced tooling including package manager and build tool (Cargo), auto-formatter (rustfmt), linter (Clippy) and editor support (rust-analyzer).
