This calling convention, like the `PreserveMost` calling convention, will be
used by a future version of the ObjectiveC runtime and should be considered
experimental at this time.
+"``cxx_fast_tlscc``" - The `CXX_FAST_TLS` calling convention for access functions
+ Clang generates an access function to access C++-style TLS. The access
+ function generally has an entry block, an exit block and an initialization
+ block that is run at the first time. The entry and exit blocks can access
+ a few TLS IR variables, each access will be lowered to a platform-specific
+ sequence.
+
+ This calling convention aims to minimize overhead in the caller by
+ preserving as many registers as possible (all the registers that are
+ perserved on the fast path, composed of the entry and exit blocks).
+
+ This calling convention behaves identical to the `C` calling convention on
+ how arguments and return values are passed, but it uses a different set of
+ caller/callee-saved registers.
+
+ Given that each platform has its own lowering sequence, hence its own set
+ of preserved registers, we can't use the existing `PreserveMost`.
+
+ - On X86-64 the callee preserves all general purpose registers, except for
+ RDI and RAX.
"``cc <n>``" - Numbered convention
Any calling convention may be specified by number, allowing
target-specific calling conventions to be used. Target specific
that are recognized by LLVM to handle asynchronous exceptions, such
as SEH, will still provide their implementation defined semantics.

+
+ Overview:
+ """""""""
+
+ The '``llvm.get.dynamic.area.offset.*``' intrinsic family is used to
+ get the offset from native stack pointer to the address of the most
+ recent dynamic alloca on the caller's stack. These intrinsics are
+ intendend for use in combination with
+ :ref:`llvm.stacksave <int_stacksave>` to get a
+ pointer to the most recent dynamic alloca. This is useful, for example,
+ for AddressSanitizer's stack unpoisoning routines.
+
+Semantics:
+""""""""""
+
+ These intrinsics return a non-negative integer value that can be used to
+ get the address of the most recent dynamic alloca, allocated by :ref:`alloca <i_alloca>`
+ on the caller's stack. In particular, for targets where stack grows downwards,
+ adding this offset to the native stack pointer would get the address of the most
+ recent dynamic alloca. For targets where stack grows upwards, the situation is a bit more
+ complicated, because substracting this value from stack pointer would get the address
+ one past the end of the most recent dynamic alloca.
+
+ Although for most targets `llvm.get.dynamic.area.offset <int_get_dynamic_area_offset>`
+ returns just a zero, for others, such as PowerPC and PowerPC64, it returns a
+ compile-time-known constant value.
+
+ The return value type of :ref:`llvm.get.dynamic.area.offset <int_get_dynamic_area_offset>`
+ must match the target's generic address space's (address space 0) pointer type.
