Three tests are added.
Test 1: VERBOSE=1 ./clang_parm_optimized.sh
BTF: BTF: int foo(int a, int c);
DWARF: DWARF: int foo(int a, int b, int c);
where parameber 'b' is unused.
Test 2: VERBOSE=1 ./clang_parm_optimized_stack.sh
BTF: BTF: int foo(int a, int i);
DWARF: DWARF: int foo(int a, int b, int c, int d, int e, int f, int g, int h, int i);
where parameters 'b' to 'h' are unused.
Test 3: VERBOSE=1 ./clang_parm_aggregate.sh
BTF (x86_64): long foo(long a__f1, struct t b, int i);
BTF (aarch64): long foo(struct t a, struct t b, int i);
DWARF: long foo(struct t a, struct t b, int i);
where the 'struct t' definition is 'struct t { long f1; long f2; };', and
a.f2 is not used in the function for x86_64 arch.
