[PATCH] Add 'short_call' attribute for MIPS targets

[PATCH] Add 'short_call' attribute for MIPS targets

[Simon Atanasyan]

Currently GCC supports 'long_call', 'far', and 'near' attributes. The
'long_call' and 'far' attributes are synonyms. This patch adds support
for the 'short_call' attribute as a synonym for `near` to make this list
complete, consistent with other targets, and compatible with attributes
supported by the Clang.

Tested on mipsel-linux-gnu.

* config/mips/mips.c (mips_attribute_table): Add 'short_call' attribute.
(mips_near_type_p): Add 'short_call' attribute as a synonym for 'near'.

Sorry for the slow reply. Thanks for keeping GCC and Clang in sync.

As you do not have a personal copyright assignment on file please can you
resubmit using your @imgtec.com address and use that address for the
changelog. There are just a couple of indentation issues below as well.

There should be one tab before the lines in each entry <tab>* <filename>,
lines here should be wrapped at 74 cols.

The || here should be lined up under the 'l' of lookup_attribute above
which will be 1-tab 2-space to save you figuring out the indent rules
for GCC again. The space indents in the testcases below are fine as
they match the existing lines.

If you can repost with your @imgtec address then I'll approve that
to commit.

Thanks,
Matthew
