This PR drafts runtime-system changes to pass a pointer to the
__cilkrts_stack_frame
in a parent spawning function, along with other compile-time information, to a spawn helper. This change allows the spawn helper to access the parent stack frame more efficiently and enables a variety of optimizations to reduce spawn overhead.__cilkrts_stack_frame
s. In this case, the compiler is able to optimize away the spawn-helper's stack frame.This PR requires the compiler changes in OpenCilk/opencilk-project#252.
