Re: [avr-libc-dev] [bugs #4101] setjmp/longjmp destroy changes in global registers

We basically implement the ABI you're suggesting.

Review the entire thread, including Dmitry's testsuit, as well as his
findings about how the various GCC version do/don't save registers
when setjmp is called within a function.  If GCC worked the way GCC
3.3.x did, we could make setjmp/longjmp cooperative with global
register variables.

It appears to me that you somehow suffer from the miscomprehension
that avr-libc were mostly implemented in assembler, and that all of
our problems arise just out of this situation.  While we do have a lot
of assembler files (I'm not particularly happy with the situation
either, e.g. fplib is rather hard to maintain), they follow the exact
same ABI as the C compiler, so I don't see any difference in that.
