I've been working on lifetime calculation for REG_DEAD notes, but I got a message from the AtariAge forums. Tursi was trying to use the compiler, and found some stack layout problems. I got a chance to look at that today. I've found three problems, and fixed two of them.

In one of the prologue forms, the location of the saved registers was mistakenly calculated to be at the top of the stack. This is the only place where that assumption was made.

In the event of a call frame being needed without saved registers, no space was being allocated for the frame registers, The epilogue was fine in this case, and would result in a crash somewhere down the line.

The last problem is that the leaf-ness of a function seems to be calculated after tms9900_starting_frame_offset is called. This means that the frame offset calculation assumes that the link register needs to be saved, and leaves space for it. However, when the prologue is called, we know that the function is a leaf, and no space is saved for the frame, and stack corruption results. I need to find a way to check for leaf-ness earlier in the function construction. Somehow.
