@cindex machine descriptions

A machine description has two parts: a file of instruction patterns
(@file{.md} file) and a C header file of macro definitions.

The @file{.md} file for a target machine contains a pattern for each
instruction that the target machine supports (or at least each instruction
that is worth telling the compiler about).  It may also contain comments.
A semicolon causes the rest of the line to be a comment, unless the semicolon
is inside a quoted string.

See the next chapter for information on the C header file.

@node Overview
@section Overview of How the Machine Description is Used

There are three main conversions that happen in the compiler:

@enumerate

@item
The front end reads the source code and builds a parse tree.

@item
The parse tree is used to generate an RTL insn list based on named
instruction patterns.

@item
The insn list is matched against the RTL templates to produce assembler
code.

@end enumerate

For the generate pass, only the names of the insns matter, from either a
named @code{define_insn} or a @code{define_expand}.  The compiler will
choose the pattern with the right name and apply the operands according
to the documentation later in this chapter, without regard for the RTL
template or operand constraints.  Note that the names the compiler looks
for are hard-coded in the compiler---it will ignore unnamed patterns and
patterns with names it doesn't know about, but if you don't provide a
named pattern it needs, it will abort.

If a @code{define_insn} is used, the template given is inserted into the
insn list.  If a @code{define_expand} is used, one of three things
happens, based on the condition logic.  The condition logic may manually
create new insns for the insn list, say via @code{emit_insn()}, and
invoke @code{DONE}.  For certain named patterns, it may invoke @code{FAIL} to tell the
compiler to use an alternate way of performing that task.  If it invokes
neither @code{DONE} nor @code{FAIL}, the template given in the pattern
is inserted, as if the @code{define_expand} were a @code{define_insn}.

Once the insn list is generated, various optimization passes convert,
replace, and rearrange the insns in the insn list.  This is where the
@code{define_split} and @code{define_peephole} patterns get used, for
example.

Finally, the insn list's RTL is matched up with the RTL templates in the
@code{define_insn} patterns, and those patterns are used to emit the
final assembly code.  For this purpose, each named @code{define_insn}
acts like it's unnamed, since the names are ignored.

@node Patterns
@section Everything about Instruction Patterns
@cindex patterns
@cindex instruction patterns

@findex define_insn
A @code{define_insn} expression is used to define instruction patterns
to which insns may be matched.  A @code{define_insn} expression contains
an incomplete RTL expression, with pieces to be filled in later, operand
constraints that restrict how the pieces can be filled in, and an output
template or C code to generate the assembler output.

A @code{define_insn} is an RTL expression containing four or five operands:

@enumerate
@item
An optional name @var{n}.  When a name is present, the compiler
automically generates a C++ function @samp{gen_@var{n}} that takes
the operands of the instruction as arguments and returns the instruction's
rtx pattern.  The compiler also assigns the instruction a unique code
@samp{CODE_FOR_@var{n}}, with all such codes belonging to an enum
called @code{insn_code}.

These names serve one of two purposes.  The first is to indicate that the
instruction performs a certain standard job for the RTL-generation
pass of the compiler, such as a move, an addition, or a conditional
jump.  The second is to help the target generate certain target-specific
operations, such as when implementing target-specific intrinsic functions.

It is better to prefix target-specific names with the name of the
target, to avoid any clash with current or future standard names.

The absence of a name is indicated by writing an empty string
where the name should go.  Nameless instruction patterns are never
used for generating RTL code, but they may permit several simpler insns
to be combined later on.

For the purpose of debugging the compiler, you may also specify a
name beginning with the @samp{*} character.  Such a name is used only
for identifying the instruction in RTL dumps; it is equivalent to having
a nameless pattern for all other purposes.  Names beginning with the
@samp{*} character are not required to be unique.

The name may also have the form @samp{@@@var{n}}.  This has the same
effect as a name @samp{@var{n}}, but in addition tells the compiler to
generate further helper functions; see @ref{Parameterized Names} for details.

@item
The @dfn{RTL template}: This is a vector of incomplete RTL expressions
which describe the semantics of the instruction (@pxref{RTL Template}).
It is incomplete because it may contain @code{match_operand},
@code{match_operator}, and @code{match_dup} expressions that stand for
operands of the instruction.

If the vector has multiple elements, the RTL template is treated as a
@code{parallel} expression.

@cindex pattern conditions
@cindex conditions, in patterns
@item
The condition: This is a string which contains a C expression.  When the
compiler attempts to match RTL against a pattern, the condition is
evaluated.  If the condition evaluates to @code{true}, the match is
permitted.  The condition may be an empty string, which is treated
as always @code{true}.

@cindex named patterns and conditions
For a named pattern, the condition may not depend on the data in the
insn being matched, but only the target-machine-type flags.  The compiler
needs to test these conditions during initialization in order to learn
exactly which named instructions are available in a particular run.

@findex operands
For nameless patterns, the condition is applied only when matching an
individual insn, and only after the insn has matched the pattern's
recognition template.  The insn's operands may be found in the vector
@code{operands}.

An instruction condition cannot become more restrictive as compilation
progresses.  If the condition accepts a particular RTL instruction at
one stage of compilation, it must continue to accept that instruction
until the final pass.  For example, @samp{!reload_completed} and
@samp{can_create_pseudo_p ()} are both invalid instruction conditions,
because they are true during the earlier RTL passes and false during
the later ones.  For the same reason, if a condition accepts an
instruction before register allocation, it cannot later try to control
register allocation by excluding certain register or value combinations.

Although a condition cannot become more restrictive as compilation
progresses, the condition for a nameless pattern @emph{can} become
more permissive.  For example, a nameless instruction can require
@samp{reload_completed} to be true, in which case it only matches
after register allocation.

@item
The @dfn{output template} or @dfn{output statement}: This is either
a string, or a fragment of C code which returns a string.

When simple substitution isn't general enough, you can specify a piece
of C code to compute the output.  @xref{Output Statement}.

@item
The @dfn{insn attributes}: This is an optional vector containing the values of
attributes for insns matching this pattern (@pxref{Insn Attributes}).
@end enumerate

@node Example
@section Example of @code{define_insn}
@cindex @code{define_insn} example

Here is an example of an instruction pattern, taken from the machine
description for the 68000/68020.

@smallexample
(define_insn "tstsi"
  [(set (cc0)
        (match_operand:SI 0 "general_operand" "rm"))]
  ""
  "*
@{
  if (TARGET_68020 || ! ADDRESS_REG_P (operands[0]))
    return \"tstl %0\";
  return \"cmpl #0,%0\";
@}")
@end smallexample

@noindent
This can also be written using braced strings:

@smallexample
(define_insn "tstsi"
  [(set (cc0)
        (match_operand:SI 0 "general_operand" "rm"))]
  ""
@{
  if (TARGET_68020 || ! ADDRESS_REG_P (operands[0]))
    return "tstl %0";
  return "cmpl #0,%0";
@})
@end smallexample

This describes an instruction which sets the condition codes based on the
value of a general operand.  It has no condition, so any insn with an RTL
description of the form shown may be matched to this pattern.  The name
@samp{tstsi} means ``test a @code{SImode} value'' and tells the RTL
generation pass that, when it is necessary to test such a value, an insn
to do so can be constructed using this pattern.

The output control string is a piece of C code which chooses which
output template to return based on the kind of operand and the specific
type of CPU for which code is being generated.

@samp{"rm"} is an operand constraint.  Its meaning is explained below.

@node RTL Template
@section RTL Template
@cindex RTL insn template
@cindex generating insns
@cindex insns, generating
@cindex recognizing insns
@cindex insns, recognizing

The RTL template is used to define which insns match the particular pattern
and how to find their operands.  For named patterns, the RTL template also
says how to construct an insn from specified operands.

Construction involves substituting specified operands into a copy of the
template.  Matching involves determining the values that serve as the
operands in the insn being matched.  Both of these activities are
controlled by special expression types that direct matching and
substitution of the operands.

@table @code
@findex match_operand
@item (match_operand:@var{m} @var{n} @var{predicate} @var{constraint})
This expression is a placeholder for operand number @var{n} of
the insn.  When constructing an insn, operand number @var{n}
will be substituted at this point.  When matching an insn, whatever
appears at this position in the insn will be taken as operand
number @var{n}; but it must satisfy @var{predicate} or this instruction
pattern will not match at all.

Operand numbers must be chosen consecutively counting from zero in
each instruction pattern.  There may be only one @code{match_operand}
expression in the pattern for each operand number.  Usually operands
are numbered in the order of appearance in @code{match_operand}
expressions.  In the case of a @code{define_expand}, any operand numbers
used only in @code{match_dup} expressions have higher values than all
other operand numbers.

@var{predicate} is a string that is the name of a function that
accepts two arguments, an expression and a machine mode.
@xref{Predicates}.  During matching, the function will be called with
the putative operand as the expression and @var{m} as the mode
argument (if @var{m} is not specified, @code{VOIDmode} will be used,
which normally causes @var{predicate} to accept any mode).  If it
returns zero, this instruction pattern fails to match.
@var{predicate} may be an empty string; then it means no test is to be
done on the operand, so anything which occurs in this position is
valid.

Most of the time, @var{predicate} will reject modes other than @var{m}---but
not always.  For example, the predicate @code{address_operand} uses
@var{m} as the mode of memory ref that the address should be valid for.
Many predicates accept @code{const_int} nodes even though their mode is
@code{VOIDmode}.

@var{constraint} controls reloading and the choice of the best register
class to use for a value, as explained later (@pxref{Constraints}).
If the constraint would be an empty string, it can be omitted.

People are often unclear on the difference between the constraint and the
predicate.  The predicate helps decide whether a given insn matches the
pattern.  The constraint plays no role in this decision; instead, it
controls various decisions in the case of an insn which does match.

@findex match_scratch
@item (match_scratch:@var{m} @var{n} @var{constraint})
This expression is also a placeholder for operand number @var{n}
and indicates that operand must be a @code{scratch} or @code{reg}
expression.

When matching patterns, this is equivalent to

@smallexample
(match_operand:@var{m} @var{n} "scratch_operand" @var{constraint})
@end smallexample

but, when generating RTL, it produces a (@code{scratch}:@var{m})
expression.

If the last few expressions in a @code{parallel} are @code{clobber}
expressions whose operands are either a hard register or
@code{match_scratch}, the combiner can add or delete them when
necessary.  @xref{Side Effects}.

@findex match_dup
@item (match_dup @var{n})
This expression is also a placeholder for operand number @var{n}.
It is used when the operand needs to appear more than once in the
insn.

In construction, @code{match_dup} acts just like @code{match_operand}:
the operand is substituted into the insn being constructed.  But in
matching, @code{match_dup} behaves differently.  It assumes that operand
number @var{n} has already been determined by a @code{match_operand}
appearing earlier in the recognition template, and it matches only an
identical-looking expression.

Note that @code{match_dup} should not be used to tell the compiler that
a particular register is being used for two operands (example:
@code{add} that adds one register to another; the second register is
both an input operand and the output operand).  Use a matching
constraint (@pxref{Simple Constraints}) for those.  @code{match_dup} is for the cases where one
operand is used in two places in the template, such as an instruction
that computes both a quotient and a remainder, where the opcode takes
two input operands but the RTL template has to refer to each of those
twice; once for the quotient pattern and once for the remainder pattern.

@findex match_operator
@item (match_operator:@var{m} @var{n} @var{predicate} [@var{operands}@dots{}])
This pattern is a kind of placeholder for a variable RTL expression
code.

When constructing an insn, it stands for an RTL expression whose
expression code is taken from that of operand @var{n}, and whose
operands are constructed from the patterns @var{operands}.

When matching an expression, it matches an expression if the function
@var{predicate} returns nonzero on that expression @emph{and} the
patterns @var{operands} match the operands of the expression.

Suppose that the function @code{commutative_operator} is defined as
follows, to match any expression whose operator is one of the
commutative arithmetic operators of RTL and whose mode is @var{mode}:

@smallexample
int
commutative_operator (x, mode)
     rtx x;
     machine_mode mode;
@{
  enum rtx_code code = GET_CODE (x);
  if (GET_MODE (x) != mode)
    return 0;
  return (GET_RTX_CLASS (code) == RTX_COMM_ARITH
          || code == EQ || code == NE);
@}
@end smallexample

Then the following pattern will match any RTL expression consisting
of a commutative operator applied to two general operands:

@smallexample
(match_operator:SI 3 "commutative_operator"
  [(match_operand:SI 1 "general_operand" "g")
   (match_operand:SI 2 "general_operand" "g")])
@end smallexample

Here the vector @code{[@var{operands}@dots{}]} contains two patterns
because the expressions to be matched all contain two operands.

When this pattern does match, the two operands of the commutative
operator are recorded as operands 1 and 2 of the insn.  (This is done
by the two instances of @code{match_operand}.)  Operand 3 of the insn
will be the entire commutative expression: use @code{GET_CODE
(operands[3])} to see which commutative operator was used.

The machine mode @var{m} of @code{match_operator} works like that of
@code{match_operand}: it is passed as the second argument to the
predicate function, and that function is solely responsible for
deciding whether the expression to be matched ``has'' that mode.

When constructing an insn, argument 3 of the gen-function will specify
the operation (i.e.@: the expression code) for the expression to be
made.  It should be an RTL expression, whose expression code is copied
into a new expression whose operands are arguments 1 and 2 of the
gen-function.  The subexpressions of argument 3 are not used;
only its expression code matters.

When @code{match_operator} is used in a pattern for matching an insn,
it usually best if the operand number of the @code{match_operator}
is higher than that of the actual operands of the insn.  This improves
register allocation because the register allocator often looks at
operands 1 and 2 of insns to see if it can do register tying.

There is no way to specify constraints in @code{match_operator}.  The
operand of the insn which corresponds to the @code{match_operator}
never has any constraints because it is never reloaded as a whole.
However, if parts of its @var{operands} are matched by
@code{match_operand} patterns, those parts may have constraints of
their own.

@findex match_op_dup
@item (match_op_dup:@var{m} @var{n}[@var{operands}@dots{}])
Like @code{match_dup}, except that it applies to operators instead of
operands.  When constructing an insn, operand number @var{n} will be
substituted at this point.  But in matching, @code{match_op_dup} behaves
differently.  It assumes that operand number @var{n} has already been
determined by a @code{match_operator} appearing earlier in the
recognition template, and it matches only an identical-looking
expression.

@findex match_parallel
@item (match_parallel @var{n} @var{predicate} [@var{subpat}@dots{}])
This pattern is a placeholder for an insn that consists of a
@code{parallel} expression with a variable number of elements.  This
expression should only appear at the top level of an insn pattern.

When constructing an insn, operand number @var{n} will be substituted at
this point.  When matching an insn, it matches if the body of the insn
is a @code{parallel} expression with at least as many elements as the
vector of @var{subpat} expressions in the @code{match_parallel}, if each
@var{subpat} matches the corresponding element of the @code{parallel},
@emph{and} the function @var{predicate} returns nonzero on the
@code{parallel} that is the body of the insn.  It is the responsibility
of the predicate to validate elements of the @code{parallel} beyond
those listed in the @code{match_parallel}.

A typical use of @code{match_parallel} is to match load and store
multiple expressions, which can contain a variable number of elements
in a @code{parallel}.  For example,

@smallexample
(define_insn ""
  [(match_parallel 0 "load_multiple_operation"
     [(set (match_operand:SI 1 "gpc_reg_operand" "=r")
           (match_operand:SI 2 "memory_operand" "m"))
      (use (reg:SI 179))
      (clobber (reg:SI 179))])]
  ""
  "loadm 0,0,%1,%2")
@end smallexample

This example comes from @file{a29k.md}.  The function
@code{load_multiple_operation} is defined in @file{a29k.c} and checks
that subsequent elements in the @code{parallel} are the same as the
@code{set} in the pattern, except that they are referencing subsequent
registers and memory locations.

An insn that matches this pattern might look like:

@smallexample
(parallel
 [(set (reg:SI 20) (mem:SI (reg:SI 100)))
  (use (reg:SI 179))
  (clobber (reg:SI 179))
  (set (reg:SI 21)
       (mem:SI (plus:SI (reg:SI 100)
                        (const_int 4))))
  (set (reg:SI 22)
       (mem:SI (plus:SI (reg:SI 100)
                        (const_int 8))))])
@end smallexample

@findex match_par_dup
@item (match_par_dup @var{n} [@var{subpat}@dots{}])
Like @code{match_op_dup}, but for @code{match_parallel} instead of
@code{match_operator}.

@end table

@node Output Template
@section Output Templates and Operand Substitution
@cindex output templates
@cindex operand substitution

@cindex @samp{%} in template
@cindex percent sign
The @dfn{output template} is a string which specifies how to output the
assembler code for an instruction pattern.  Most of the template is a
fixed string which is output literally.  The character @samp{%} is used
to specify where to substitute an operand; it can also be used to
identify places where different variants of the assembler require
different syntax.

In the simplest case, a @samp{%} followed by a digit @var{n} says to output
operand @var{n} at that point in the string.

@samp{%} followed by a letter and a digit says to output an operand in an
alternate fashion.  Four letters have standard, built-in meanings described
below.  The machine description macro @code{PRINT_OPERAND} can define
additional letters with nonstandard meanings.

@samp{%c@var{digit}} can be used to substitute an operand that is a
constant value without the syntax that normally indicates an immediate
operand.

@samp{%n@var{digit}} is like @samp{%c@var{digit}} except that the value of
the constant is negated before printing.

@samp{%a@var{digit}} can be used to substitute an operand as if it were a
memory reference, with the actual operand treated as the address.  This may
be useful when outputting a ``load address'' instruction, because often the
assembler syntax for such an instruction requires you to write the operand
as if it were a memory reference.

@samp{%l@var{digit}} is used to substitute a @code{label_ref} into a jump
instruction.

@samp{%=} outputs a number which is unique to each instruction in the
entire compilation.  This is useful for making local labels to be
referred to more than once in a single template that generates multiple
assembler instructions.

@samp{%} followed by a punctuation character specifies a substitution that
does not use an operand.  Only one case is standard: @samp{%%} outputs a
@samp{%} into the assembler code.  Other nonstandard cases can be
defined in the @code{PRINT_OPERAND} macro.  You must also define
which punctuation characters are valid with the
@code{PRINT_OPERAND_PUNCT_VALID_P} macro.

@cindex \
@cindex backslash
The template may generate multiple assembler instructions.  Write the text
for the instructions, with @samp{\;} between them.

@cindex matching operands
When the RTL contains two operands which are required by constraint to match
each other, the output template must refer only to the lower-numbered operand.
Matching operands are not always identical, and the rest of the compiler
arranges to put the proper RTL expression for printing into the lower-numbered
operand.

One use of nonstandard letters or punctuation following @samp{%} is to
distinguish between different assembler languages for the same machine; for
example, Motorola syntax versus MIT syntax for the 68000.  Motorola syntax
requires periods in most opcode names, while MIT syntax does not.  For
example, the opcode @samp{movel} in MIT syntax is @samp{move.l} in Motorola
syntax.  The same file of patterns is used for both kinds of output syntax,
but the character sequence @samp{%.} is used in each place where Motorola
syntax wants a period.  The @code{PRINT_OPERAND} macro for Motorola syntax
defines the sequence to output a period; the macro for MIT syntax defines
it to do nothing.

@cindex @code{#} in template
As a special case, a template consisting of the single character @code{#}
instructs the compiler to first split the insn, and then output the
resulting instructions separately.  This helps eliminate redundancy in the
output templates.   If you have a @code{define_insn} that needs to emit
multiple assembler instructions, and there is a matching @code{define_split}
already defined, then you can simply use @code{#} as the output template
instead of writing an output template that emits the multiple assembler
instructions.

Note that @code{#} only has an effect while generating assembly code;
it does not affect whether a split occurs earlier.  An associated
@code{define_split} must exist and it must be suitable for use after
register allocation.

If the macro @code{ASSEMBLER_DIALECT} is defined, you can use construct
of the form @samp{@{option0|option1|option2@}} in the templates.  These
describe multiple variants of assembler language syntax.
@xref{Instruction Output}.

@node Output Statement
@section C Statements for Assembler Output
@cindex output statements
@cindex C statements for assembler output
@cindex generating assembler output

Often a single fixed template string cannot produce correct and efficient
assembler code for all the cases that are recognized by a single
instruction pattern.  For example, the opcodes may depend on the kinds of
operands; or some unfortunate combinations of operands may require extra
machine instructions.

If the output control string starts with a @samp{@@}, then it is actually
a series of templates, each on a separate line.  (Blank lines and
leading spaces and tabs are ignored.)  The templates correspond to the
pattern's constraint alternatives (@pxref{Multi-Alternative}).  For example,
if a target machine has a two-address add instruction @samp{addr} to add
into a register and another @samp{addm} to add a register to memory, you
might write this pattern:

@smallexample
(define_insn "addsi3"
  [(set (match_operand:SI 0 "general_operand" "=r,m")
        (plus:SI (match_operand:SI 1 "general_operand" "0,0")
                 (match_operand:SI 2 "general_operand" "g,r")))]
  ""
  "@@
   addr %2,%0
   addm %2,%0")
@end smallexample

@cindex @code{*} in template
@cindex asterisk in template
If the output control string starts with a @samp{*}, then it is not an
output template but rather a piece of C program that should compute a
template.  It should execute a @code{return} statement to return the
template-string you want.  Most such templates use C string literals, which
require doublequote characters to delimit them.  To include these
doublequote characters in the string, prefix each one with @samp{\}.

If the output control string is written as a brace block instead of a
double-quoted string, it is automatically assumed to be C code.  In that
case, it is not necessary to put in a leading asterisk, or to escape the
doublequotes surrounding C string literals.

The operands may be found in the array @code{operands}, whose C data type
is @code{rtx []}.

It is very common to select different ways of generating assembler code
based on whether an immediate operand is within a certain range.  Be
careful when doing this, because the result of @code{INTVAL} is an
integer on the host machine.  If the host machine has more bits in an
@code{int} than the target machine has in the mode in which the constant
will be used, then some of the bits you get from @code{INTVAL} will be
superfluous.  For proper results, you must carefully disregard the
values of those bits.

@findex output_asm_insn
It is possible to output an assembler instruction and then go on to output
or compute more of them, using the subroutine @code{output_asm_insn}.  This
receives two arguments: a template-string and a vector of operands.  The
vector may be @code{operands}, or it may be another array of @code{rtx}
that you declare locally and initialize yourself.

@findex which_alternative
When an insn pattern has multiple alternatives in its constraints, often
the appearance of the assembler code is determined mostly by which alternative
was matched.  When this is so, the C code can test the variable
@code{which_alternative}, which is the ordinal number of the alternative
that was actually satisfied (0 for the first, 1 for the second alternative,
etc.).

For example, suppose there are two opcodes for storing zero, @samp{clrreg}
for registers and @samp{clrmem} for memory locations.  Here is how
a pattern could use @code{which_alternative} to choose between them:

@smallexample
(define_insn ""
  [(set (match_operand:SI 0 "general_operand" "=r,m")
        (const_int 0))]
  ""
  @{
  return (which_alternative == 0
          ? "clrreg %0" : "clrmem %0");
  @})
@end smallexample

The example above, where the assembler code to generate was
@emph{solely} determined by the alternative, could also have been specified
as follows, having the output control string start with a @samp{@@}:

@smallexample
@group
(define_insn ""
  [(set (match_operand:SI 0 "general_operand" "=r,m")
        (const_int 0))]
  ""
  "@@
   clrreg %0
   clrmem %0")
@end group
@end smallexample

If you just need a little bit of C code in one (or a few) alternatives,
you can use @samp{*} inside of a @samp{@@} multi-alternative template:

@smallexample
@group
(define_insn ""
  [(set (match_operand:SI 0 "general_operand" "=r,<,m")
        (const_int 0))]
  ""
  "@@
   clrreg %0
   * return stack_mem_p (operands[0]) ? \"push 0\" : \"clrmem %0\";
   clrmem %0")
@end group
@end smallexample

@node Compact Syntax
@section Compact Syntax
@cindex compact syntax

When a @code{define_insn} or @code{define_insn_and_split} has multiple
alternatives it may be beneficial to use the compact syntax when specifying
alternatives.

This syntax puts the constraints and attributes on the same horizontal line as
the instruction assembly template.

As an example

@smallexample
@group
(define_insn_and_split ""
  [(set (match_operand:SI 0 "nonimmediate_operand" "=r,k,r,r,r,r")
	(match_operand:SI 1 "aarch64_mov_operand"  " r,r,k,M,n,Usv"))]
  ""
  "@@
   mov\\t%w0, %w1
   mov\\t%w0, %w1
   mov\\t%w0, %w1
   mov\\t%w0, %1
   #
   * return aarch64_output_sve_cnt_immediate ('cnt', '%x0', operands[1]);"
  "&& true"
   [(const_int 0)]
  @{
     aarch64_expand_mov_immediate (operands[0], operands[1]);
     DONE;
  @}
  [(set_attr "type" "mov_reg,mov_reg,mov_reg,mov_imm,mov_imm,mov_imm")
   (set_attr "arch"   "*,*,*,*,*,sve")
   (set_attr "length" "4,4,4,4,*,  4")
]
)
@end group
@end smallexample

can be better expressed as:

@smallexample
@group
(define_insn_and_split ""
  [(set (match_operand:SI 0 "nonimmediate_operand")
	(match_operand:SI 1 "aarch64_mov_operand"))]
  ""
  @{@@ [cons: =0, 1; attrs: type, arch, length]
     [r , r  ; mov_reg  , *   , 4] mov\t%w0, %w1
     [k , r  ; mov_reg  , *   , 4] ^
     [r , k  ; mov_reg  , *   , 4] ^
     [r , M  ; mov_imm  , *   , 4] mov\t%w0, %1
     [r , n  ; mov_imm  , *   , *] #
     [r , Usv; mov_imm  , sve , 4] << aarch64_output_sve_cnt_immediate ("cnt", "%x0", operands[1]);
  @}
  "&& true"
  [(const_int 0)]
  @{
    aarch64_expand_mov_immediate (operands[0], operands[1]);
    DONE;
  @}
)
@end group
@end smallexample

The syntax rules are as follows:
@itemize @bullet
@item
Templates must start with @samp{@{@@} to use the new syntax.

@item
@samp{@{@@} is followed by a layout in square brackets which is @samp{cons:}
followed by a comma-separated list of @code{match_operand}/@code{match_scratch}
operand numbers, then a semicolon, followed by the same for attributes
(@samp{attrs:}).  Operand modifiers like @code{=} and @code{+} can be placed
before an operand number.
Both sections are optional (so you can use only @samp{cons}, or only
@samp{attrs}, or both), and @samp{cons} must come before @samp{attrs} if
present.

@item
Each alternative begins with any amount of whitespace.

@item
Following the whitespace is a comma-separated list of "constraints" and/or
"attributes" within brackets @code{[]}, with sections separated by a semicolon.

@item
Should you want to copy the previous asm line, the symbol @code{^} can be used.
This allows less copy pasting between alternative and reduces the number of
lines to update on changes.

@item
When using C functions for output, the idiom @samp{* return @var{function};}
can be replaced with the shorthand @samp{<< @var{function};}.

@item
Following the closing @samp{]} is any amount of whitespace, and then the actual
asm output.

@item
Spaces are allowed in the list (they will simply be removed).

@item
All constraint alternatives should be specified.  For example, a list of
of three blank alternatives should be written @samp{[,,]} rather than
@samp{[]}.

@item
All attribute alternatives should be non-empty, with @samp{*}
representing the default attribute value.  For example, a list of three
default attribute values should be written @samp{[*,*,*]} rather than
@samp{[]}.

@item
Within an @samp{@{@@} block both multiline and singleline C comments are
allowed, but when used outside of a C block they must be the only non-whitespace
blocks on the line.

@item
Within an @samp{@{@@} block, any iterators that do not get expanded will result
in an error.  If for some reason it is required to have @code{<} or @code{>} in
the output then these must be escaped using @samp{\}.

@item
It is possible to use the @samp{attrs} list to specify some attributes and to
use the normal @code{set_attr} syntax to specify other attributes.  There must
not be any overlap between the two lists.

In other words, the following is valid:
@smallexample
@group
(define_insn_and_split ""
  [(set (match_operand:SI 0 "nonimmediate_operand")
	(match_operand:SI 1 "aarch64_mov_operand"))]
  ""
  @{@@ [cons: 0, 1; attrs: type, arch, length]@}
  @dots{} 
  [(set_attr "foo" "mov_imm")]
)
@end group
@end smallexample

but this is not valid:
@smallexample
@group
(define_insn_and_split ""
  [(set (match_operand:SI 0 "nonimmediate_operand")
	(match_operand:SI 1 "aarch64_mov_operand"))]
  ""
  @{@@ [cons: 0, 1; attrs: type, arch, length]@}
  @dots{} 
  [(set_attr "arch" "bar")
   (set_attr "foo" "mov_imm")]
)
@end group
@end smallexample

because it specifies @code{arch} twice.
@end itemize

@node Predicates
@section Predicates
@cindex predicates
@cindex operand predicates
@cindex operator predicates

A predicate determines whether a @code{match_operand} or
@code{match_operator} expression matches, and therefore whether the
surrounding instruction pattern will be used for that combination of
operands.  GCC has a number of machine-independent predicates, and you
can define machine-specific predicates as needed.  By convention,
predicates used with @code{match_operand} have names that end in
@samp{_operand}, and those used with @code{match_operator} have names
that end in @samp{_operator}.

All predicates are boolean functions (in the mathematical sense) of
two arguments: the RTL expression that is being considered at that
position in the instruction pattern, and the machine mode that the
@code{match_operand} or @code{match_operator} specifies.  In this
section, the first argument is called @var{op} and the second argument
@var{mode}.  Predicates can be called from C as ordinary two-argument
functions; this can be useful in output templates or other
machine-specific code.

Operand predicates can allow operands that are not actually acceptable
to the hardware, as long as the constraints give reload the ability to
fix them up (@pxref{Constraints}).  However, GCC will usually generate
better code if the predicates specify the requirements of the machine
instructions as closely as possible.  Reload cannot fix up operands
that must be constants (``immediate operands''); you must use a
predicate that allows only constants, or else enforce the requirement
in the extra condition.

@cindex predicates and machine modes
@cindex normal predicates
@cindex special predicates
Most predicates handle their @var{mode} argument in a uniform manner.
If @var{mode} is @code{VOIDmode} (unspecified), then @var{op} can have
any mode.  If @var{mode} is anything else, then @var{op} must have the
same mode, unless @var{op} is a @code{CONST_INT} or integer
@code{CONST_DOUBLE}.  These RTL expressions always have
@code{VOIDmode}, so it would be counterproductive to check that their
mode matches.  Instead, predicates that accept @code{CONST_INT} and/or
integer @code{CONST_DOUBLE} check that the value stored in the
constant will fit in the requested mode.

Predicates with this behavior are called @dfn{normal}.
@command{genrecog} can optimize the instruction recognizer based on
knowledge of how normal predicates treat modes.  It can also diagnose
certain kinds of common errors in the use of normal predicates; for
instance, it is almost always an error to use a normal predicate
without specifying a mode.

Predicates that do something different with their @var{mode} argument
are called @dfn{special}.  The generic predicates
@code{address_operand} and @code{pmode_register_operand} are special
predicates.  @command{genrecog} does not do any optimizations or
diagnosis when special predicates are used.

@end menu

@node Machine-Independent Predicates
@subsection Machine-Independent Predicates
@cindex machine-independent predicates
@cindex generic predicates

These are the generic predicates available to all back ends.  They are
defined in @file{recog.cc}.  The first category of predicates allow
only constant, or @dfn{immediate}, operands.

@defun immediate_operand
This predicate allows any sort of constant that fits in @var{mode}.
It is an appropriate choice for instructions that take operands that
must be constant.
@end defun

@defun const_int_operand
This predicate allows any @code{CONST_INT} expression that fits in
@var{mode}.  It is an appropriate choice for an immediate operand that
does not allow a symbol or label.
@end defun

@defun const_double_operand
This predicate accepts any @code{CONST_DOUBLE} expression that has
exactly @var{mode}.  If @var{mode} is @code{VOIDmode}, it will also
accept @code{CONST_INT}.  It is intended for immediate floating point
constants.
@end defun

@noindent
The second category of predicates allow only some kind of machine
register.

@defun register_operand
This predicate allows any @code{REG} or @code{SUBREG} expression that
is valid for @var{mode}.  It is often suitable for arithmetic
instruction operands on a RISC machine.
@end defun

@defun pmode_register_operand
This is a slight variant on @code{register_operand} which works around
a limitation in the machine-description reader.

@smallexample
(match_operand @var{n} "pmode_register_operand" @var{constraint})
@end smallexample

@noindent
means exactly what

@smallexample
(match_operand:P @var{n} "register_operand" @var{constraint})
@end smallexample

@noindent
would mean, if the machine-description reader accepted @samp{:P}
mode suffixes.  Unfortunately, it cannot, because @code{Pmode} is an
alias for some other mode, and might vary with machine-specific
options.  @xref{Misc}.
@end defun

@defun scratch_operand
This predicate allows hard registers and @code{SCRATCH} expressions,
but not pseudo-registers.  It is used internally by @code{match_scratch};
it should not be used directly.
@end defun

@noindent
The third category of predicates allow only some kind of memory reference.

@defun memory_operand
This predicate allows any valid reference to a quantity of mode
@var{mode} in memory, as determined by the weak form of
@code{GO_IF_LEGITIMATE_ADDRESS} (@pxref{Addressing Modes}).
@end defun

@defun address_operand
This predicate is a little unusual; it allows any operand that is a
valid expression for the @emph{address} of a quantity of mode
@var{mode}, again determined by the weak form of
@code{GO_IF_LEGITIMATE_ADDRESS}.  To first order, if
@samp{@w{(mem:@var{mode} (@var{exp}))}} is acceptable to
@code{memory_operand}, then @var{exp} is acceptable to
@code{address_operand}.  Note that @var{exp} does not necessarily have
the mode @var{mode}.
@end defun

@defun indirect_operand
This is a stricter form of @code{memory_operand} which allows only
memory references with a @code{general_operand} as the address
expression.  New uses of this predicate are discouraged, because
@code{general_operand} is very permissive, so it's hard to tell what
an @code{indirect_operand} does or does not allow.  If a target has
different requirements for memory operands for different instructions,
it is better to define target-specific predicates which enforce the
hardware's requirements explicitly.
@end defun

@defun push_operand
This predicate allows a memory reference suitable for pushing a value
onto the stack.  This will be a @code{MEM} which refers to
@code{stack_pointer_rtx}, with a side effect in its address expression
(@pxref{Incdec}); which one is determined by the
@code{STACK_PUSH_CODE} macro (@pxref{Frame Layout}).
@end defun

@defun pop_operand
This predicate allows a memory reference suitable for popping a value
off the stack.  Again, this will be a @code{MEM} referring to
@code{stack_pointer_rtx}, with a side effect in its address
expression.  However, this time @code{STACK_POP_CODE} is expected.
@end defun

@noindent
The fourth category of predicates allow some combination of the above
operands.

@defun nonmemory_operand
This predicate allows any immediate or register operand valid for @var{mode}.
@end defun

@defun nonimmediate_operand
This predicate allows any register or memory operand valid for @var{mode}.
@end defun

@defun general_operand
This predicate allows any immediate, register, or memory operand
valid for @var{mode}.
@end defun

@noindent
Finally, there are two generic operator predicates.

@defun comparison_operator
This predicate matches any expression which performs an arithmetic
comparison in @var{mode}; that is, @code{COMPARISON_P} is true for the
expression code.
@end defun

@defun ordered_comparison_operator
This predicate matches any expression which performs an arithmetic
comparison in @var{mode} and whose expression code is valid for integer
modes; that is, the expression code will be one of @code{eq}, @code{ne},
@code{lt}, @code{ltu}, @code{le}, @code{leu}, @code{gt}, @code{gtu},
@code{ge}, @code{geu}.
@end defun

@node Defining Predicates
@subsection Defining Machine-Specific Predicates
@cindex defining predicates
@findex define_predicate
@findex define_special_predicate

Many machines have requirements for their operands that cannot be
expressed precisely using the generic predicates.  You can define
additional predicates using @code{define_predicate} and
@code{define_special_predicate} expressions.  These expressions have
three operands:

@itemize @bullet
@item
The name of the predicate, as it will be referred to in
@code{match_operand} or @code{match_operator} expressions.

@item
An RTL expression which evaluates to true if the predicate allows the
operand @var{op}, false if it does not.  This expression can only use
the following RTL codes:

@table @code
@item MATCH_OPERAND
When written inside a predicate expression, a @code{MATCH_OPERAND}
expression evaluates to true if the predicate it names would allow
@var{op}.  The operand number and constraint are ignored.  Due to
limitations in @command{genrecog}, you can only refer to generic
predicates and predicates that have already been defined.

@item MATCH_CODE
This expression evaluates to true if @var{op} or a specified
subexpression of @var{op} has one of a given list of RTX codes.

The first operand of this expression is a string constant containing a
comma-separated list of RTX code names (in lower case).  These are the
codes for which the @code{MATCH_CODE} will be true.

The second operand is a string constant which indicates what
subexpression of @var{op} to examine.  If it is absent or the empty
string, @var{op} itself is examined.  Otherwise, the string constant
must be a sequence of digits and/or lowercase letters.  Each character
indicates a subexpression to extract from the current expression; for
the first character this is @var{op}, for the second and subsequent
characters it is the result of the previous character.  A digit
@var{n} extracts @samp{@w{XEXP (@var{e}, @var{n})}}; a letter @var{l}
extracts @samp{@w{XVECEXP (@var{e}, 0, @var{n})}} where @var{n} is the
alphabetic ordinal of @var{l} (0 for `a', 1 for 'b', and so on).  The
@code{MATCH_CODE} then examines the RTX code of the subexpression
extracted by the complete string.  It is not possible to extract
components of an @code{rtvec} that is not at position 0 within its RTX
object.

@item MATCH_TEST
This expression has one operand, a string constant containing a C
expression.  The predicate's arguments, @var{op} and @var{mode}, are
available with those names in the C expression.  The @code{MATCH_TEST}
evaluates to true if the C expression evaluates to a nonzero value.
@code{MATCH_TEST} expressions must not have side effects.

@item  AND
@itemx IOR
@itemx NOT
@itemx IF_THEN_ELSE
The basic @samp{MATCH_} expressions can be combined using these
logical operators, which have the semantics of the C operators
@samp{&&}, @samp{||}, @samp{!}, and @samp{@w{? :}} respectively.  As
in Common Lisp, you may give an @code{AND} or @code{IOR} expression an
arbitrary number of arguments; this has exactly the same effect as
writing a chain of two-argument @code{AND} or @code{IOR} expressions.
@end table

@item
An optional block of C code, which should execute
@samp{@w{return true}} if the predicate is found to match and
@samp{@w{return false}} if it does not.  It must not have any side
effects.  The predicate arguments, @var{op} and @var{mode}, are
available with those names.

If a code block is present in a predicate definition, then the RTL
expression must evaluate to true @emph{and} the code block must
execute @samp{@w{return true}} for the predicate to allow the operand.
The RTL expression is evaluated first; do not re-check anything in the
code block that was checked in the RTL expression.
@end itemize

The program @command{genrecog} scans @code{define_predicate} and
@code{define_special_predicate} expressions to determine which RTX
codes are possibly allowed.  You should always make this explicit in
the RTL predicate expression, using @code{MATCH_OPERAND} and
@code{MATCH_CODE}.

Here is an example of a simple predicate definition, from the IA64
machine description:

@smallexample
@group
;; @r{True if @var{op} is a @code{SYMBOL_REF} which refers to the sdata section.}
(define_predicate "small_addr_symbolic_operand"
  (and (match_code "symbol_ref")
       (match_test "SYMBOL_REF_SMALL_ADDR_P (op)")))
@end group
@end smallexample

@noindent
And here is another, showing the use of the C block.

@smallexample
@group
;; @r{True if @var{op} is a register operand that is (or could be) a GR reg.}
(define_predicate "gr_register_operand"
  (match_operand 0 "register_operand")
@{
  unsigned int regno;
  if (GET_CODE (op) == SUBREG)
    op = SUBREG_REG (op);

  regno = REGNO (op);
  return (regno >= FIRST_PSEUDO_REGISTER || GENERAL_REGNO_P (regno));
@})
@end group
@end smallexample

Predicates written with @code{define_predicate} automatically include
a test that @var{mode} is @code{VOIDmode}, or @var{op} has the same
mode as @var{mode}, or @var{op} is a @code{CONST_INT} or
@code{CONST_DOUBLE}.  They do @emph{not} check specifically for
integer @code{CONST_DOUBLE}, nor do they test that the value of either
kind of constant fits in the requested mode.  This is because
target-specific predicates that take constants usually have to do more
stringent value checks anyway.  If you need the exact same treatment
of @code{CONST_INT} or @code{CONST_DOUBLE} that the generic predicates
provide, use a @code{MATCH_OPERAND} subexpression to call
@code{const_int_operand}, @code{const_double_operand}, or
@code{immediate_operand}.

Predicates written with @code{define_special_predicate} do not get any
automatic mode checks, and are treated as having special mode handling
by @command{genrecog}.

The program @command{genpreds} is responsible for generating code to
test predicates.  It also writes a header file containing function
declarations for all machine-specific predicates.  It is not necessary
to declare these predicates in @file{@var{cpu}-protos.h}.

@node Simple Constraints
@subsection Simple Constraints
@cindex simple constraints

The simplest kind of constraint is a string full of letters, each of
which describes one kind of operand that is permitted.  Here are
the letters that are allowed:

@table @asis
@item whitespace
Whitespace characters are ignored and can be inserted at any position
except the first.  This enables each alternative for different operands to
be visually aligned in the machine description even if they have different
number of constraints and modifiers.

@cindex @samp{m} in constraint
@cindex memory references in constraints
@item @samp{m}
A memory operand is allowed, with any kind of address that the machine
supports in general.
Note that the letter used for the general memory constraint can be
re-defined by a back end using the @code{TARGET_MEM_CONSTRAINT} macro.

@cindex offsettable address
@cindex @samp{o} in constraint
@item @samp{o}
A memory operand is allowed, but only if the address is
@dfn{offsettable}.  This means that adding a small integer (actually,
the width in bytes of the operand, as determined by its machine mode)
may be added to the address and the result is also a valid memory
address.

@cindex autoincrement/decrement addressing
For example, an address which is constant is offsettable; so is an
address that is the sum of a register and a constant (as long as a
slightly larger constant is also within the range of address-offsets
supported by the machine); but an autoincrement or autodecrement
address is not offsettable.  More complicated indirect/indexed
addresses may or may not be offsettable depending on the other
addressing modes that the machine supports.

Note that in an output operand which can be matched by another
operand, the constraint letter @samp{o} is valid only when accompanied
by both @samp{<} (if the target machine has predecrement addressing)
and @samp{>} (if the target machine has preincrement addressing).

@cindex @samp{V} in constraint
@item @samp{V}
A memory operand that is not offsettable.  In other words, anything that
would fit the @samp{m} constraint but not the @samp{o} constraint.

@cindex @samp{<} in constraint
@item @samp{<}
A memory operand with autodecrement addressing (either predecrement or
postdecrement) is allowed.  In inline @code{asm} this constraint is only
allowed if the operand is used exactly once in an instruction that can
handle the side effects.  Not using an operand with @samp{<} in constraint
string in the inline @code{asm} pattern at all or using it in multiple
instructions isn't valid, because the side effects wouldn't be performed
or would be performed more than once.  Furthermore, on some targets
the operand with @samp{<} in constraint string must be accompanied by
special instruction suffixes like @code{%U0} instruction suffix on PowerPC
or @code{%P0} on IA-64.

@cindex @samp{>} in constraint
@item @samp{>}
A memory operand with autoincrement addressing (either preincrement or
postincrement) is allowed.  In inline @code{asm} the same restrictions
as for @samp{<} apply.

@cindex @samp{r} in constraint
@cindex registers in constraints
@item @samp{r}
A register operand is allowed provided that it is in a general
register.

@cindex constants in constraints
@cindex @samp{i} in constraint
@item @samp{i}
An immediate integer operand (one with constant value) is allowed.
This includes symbolic constants whose values will be known only at
assembly time or later.

@cindex @samp{n} in constraint
@item @samp{n}
An immediate integer operand with a known numeric value is allowed.
Many systems cannot support assembly-time constants for operands less
than a word wide.  Constraints for these operands should use @samp{n}
rather than @samp{i}.

@cindex @samp{I} in constraint
@item @samp{I}, @samp{J}, @samp{K}, @dots{} @samp{P}
Other letters in the range @samp{I} through @samp{P} may be defined in
a machine-dependent fashion to permit immediate integer operands with
explicit integer values in specified ranges.  For example, on the
68000, @samp{I} is defined to stand for the range of values 1 to 8.
This is the range permitted as a shift count in the shift
instructions.

@cindex @samp{E} in constraint
@item @samp{E}
An immediate floating operand (expression code @code{const_double}) is
allowed, but only if the target floating point format is the same as
that of the host machine (on which the compiler is running).

@cindex @samp{F} in constraint
@item @samp{F}
An immediate floating operand (expression code @code{const_double} or
@code{const_vector}) is allowed.

@cindex @samp{G} in constraint
@cindex @samp{H} in constraint
@item @samp{G}, @samp{H}
@samp{G} and @samp{H} may be defined in a machine-dependent fashion to
permit immediate floating operands in particular ranges of values.

@cindex @samp{s} in constraint
@item @samp{s}
An immediate integer operand whose value is not an explicit integer is
allowed.

This might appear strange; if an insn allows a constant operand with a
value not known at compile time, it certainly must allow any known
value.  So why use @samp{s} instead of @samp{i}?  Sometimes it allows
better code to be generated.

For example, on the 68000 in a fullword instruction it is possible to
use an immediate operand; but if the immediate value is between @minus{}128
and 127, better code results from loading the value into a register and
using the register.  This is because the load into the register can be
done with a @samp{moveq} instruction.  We arrange for this to happen
by defining the letter @samp{K} to mean ``any integer outside the
range @minus{}128 to 127'', and then specifying @samp{Ks} in the operand
constraints.

@cindex @samp{g} in constraint
@item @samp{g}
Any register, memory or immediate integer operand is allowed, except for
registers that are not general registers.

@cindex @samp{X} in constraint
@item @samp{X}
@ifset INTERNALS
Any operand whatsoever is allowed, even if it does not satisfy
@code{general_operand}.  This is normally used in the constraint of
a @code{match_scratch} when certain alternatives will not actually
require a scratch register.
@end ifset
@ifclear INTERNALS
Any operand whatsoever is allowed.
@end ifclear

@cindex @samp{0} in constraint
@cindex digits in constraint
@item @samp{0}, @samp{1}, @samp{2}, @dots{} @samp{9}
An operand that matches the specified operand number is allowed.  If a
digit is used together with letters within the same alternative, the
digit should come last.

This number is allowed to be more than a single digit.  If multiple
digits are encountered consecutively, they are interpreted as a single
decimal integer.  There is scant chance for ambiguity, since to-date
it has never been desirable that @samp{10} be interpreted as matching
either operand 1 @emph{or} operand 0.  Should this be desired, one
can use multiple alternatives instead.

@cindex matching constraint
@cindex constraint, matching
This is called a @dfn{matching constraint} and what it really means is
that the assembler has only a single operand that fills two roles
@ifset INTERNALS
considered separate in the RTL insn.  For example, an add insn has two
input operands and one output operand in the RTL, but on most CISC
@end ifset
@ifclear INTERNALS
which @code{asm} distinguishes.  For example, an add instruction uses
two input operands and an output operand, but on most CISC
@end ifclear
machines an add instruction really has only two operands, one of them an
input-output operand:

@smallexample
addl #35,r12
@end smallexample

Matching constraints are used in these circumstances.
More precisely, the two operands that match must include one input-only
operand and one output-only operand.  Moreover, the digit must be a
smaller number than the number of the operand that uses it in the
constraint.

@ifset INTERNALS
For operands to match in a particular case usually means that they
are identical-looking RTL expressions.  But in a few special cases
specific kinds of dissimilarity are allowed.  For example, @code{*x}
as an input operand will match @code{*x++} as an output operand.
For proper results in such cases, the output template should always
use the output-operand's number when printing the operand.
@end ifset

@cindex load address instruction
@cindex push address instruction
@cindex address constraints
@cindex @samp{p} in constraint
@item @samp{p}
An operand that is a valid memory address is allowed.  This is
for ``load address'' and ``push address'' instructions.

@findex address_operand
@samp{p} in the constraint must be accompanied by @code{address_operand}
as the predicate in the @code{match_operand}.  This predicate interprets
the mode specified in the @code{match_operand} as the mode of the memory
reference for which the address would be valid.

@cindex other register constraints
@cindex extensible constraints
@item @var{other-letters}
Other letters can be defined in machine-dependent fashion to stand for
particular classes of registers or other arbitrary operand types.
@samp{d}, @samp{a} and @samp{f} are defined on the 68000/68020 to stand
for data, address and floating point registers.
@end table

@ifset INTERNALS
In order to have valid assembler code, each operand must satisfy
its constraint.  But a failure to do so does not prevent the pattern
from applying to an insn.  Instead, it directs the compiler to modify
the code so that the constraint will be satisfied.  Usually this is
done by copying an operand into a register.

Contrast, therefore, the two instruction patterns that follow:

@smallexample
(define_insn ""
  [(set (match_operand:SI 0 "general_operand" "=r")
        (plus:SI (match_dup 0)
                 (match_operand:SI 1 "general_operand" "r")))]
  ""
  "@dots{}")
@end smallexample

@noindent
which has two operands, one of which must appear in two places, and

@smallexample
(define_insn ""
  [(set (match_operand:SI 0 "general_operand" "=r")
        (plus:SI (match_operand:SI 1 "general_operand" "0")
                 (match_operand:SI 2 "general_operand" "r")))]
  ""
  "@dots{}")
@end smallexample

@noindent
which has three operands, two of which are required by a constraint to be
identical.  If we are considering an insn of the form

@smallexample
(insn @var{n} @var{prev} @var{next}
  (set (reg:SI 3)
       (plus:SI (reg:SI 6) (reg:SI 109)))
  @dots{})
@end smallexample

@noindent
the first pattern would not apply at all, because this insn does not
contain two identical subexpressions in the right place.  The pattern would
say, ``That does not look like an add instruction; try other patterns''.
The second pattern would say, ``Yes, that's an add instruction, but there
is something wrong with it''.  It would direct the reload pass of the
compiler to generate additional insns to make the constraint true.  The
results might look like this:

@smallexample
(insn @var{n2} @var{prev} @var{n}
  (set (reg:SI 3) (reg:SI 6))
  @dots{})

(insn @var{n} @var{n2} @var{next}
  (set (reg:SI 3)
       (plus:SI (reg:SI 3) (reg:SI 109)))
  @dots{})
@end smallexample

It is up to you to make sure that each operand, in each pattern, has
constraints that can handle any RTL expression that could be present for
that operand.  (When multiple alternatives are in use, each pattern must,
for each possible combination of operand expressions, have at least one
alternative which can handle that combination of operands.)  The
constraints don't need to @emph{allow} any possible operand---when this is
the case, they do not constrain---but they must at least point the way to
reloading any possible operand so that it will fit.

@itemize @bullet
@item
If the constraint accepts whatever operands the predicate permits,
there is no problem: reloading is never necessary for this operand.

For example, an operand whose constraints permit everything except
registers is safe provided its predicate rejects registers.

An operand whose predicate accepts only constant values is safe
provided its constraints include the letter @samp{i}.  If any possible
constant value is accepted, then nothing less than @samp{i} will do;
if the predicate is more selective, then the constraints may also be
more selective.

@item
Any operand expression can be reloaded by copying it into a register.
So if an operand's constraints allow some kind of register, it is
certain to be safe.  It need not permit all classes of registers; the
compiler knows how to copy a register into another register of the
proper class in order to make an instruction valid.

@cindex nonoffsettable memory reference
@cindex memory reference, nonoffsettable
@item
A nonoffsettable memory reference can be reloaded by copying the
address into a register.  So if the constraint uses the letter
@samp{o}, all memory references are taken care of.

@item
A constant operand can be reloaded by allocating space in memory to
hold it as preinitialized data.  Then the memory reference can be used
in place of the constant.  So if the constraint uses the letters
@samp{o} or @samp{m}, constant operands are not a problem.

@item
If the constraint permits a constant and a pseudo register used in an insn
was not allocated to a hard register and is equivalent to a constant,
the register will be replaced with the constant.  If the predicate does
not permit a constant and the insn is re-recognized for some reason, the
compiler will crash.  Thus the predicate must always recognize any
objects allowed by the constraint.
@end itemize

If the operand's predicate can recognize registers, but the constraint does
not permit them, it can make the compiler crash.  When this operand happens
to be a register, the reload pass will be stymied, because it does not know
how to copy a register temporarily into memory.

If the predicate accepts a unary operator, the constraint applies to the
operand.  For example, the MIPS processor at ISA level 3 supports an
instruction which adds two registers in @code{SImode} to produce a
@code{DImode} result, but only if the registers are correctly sign
extended.  This predicate for the input operands accepts a
@code{sign_extend} of an @code{SImode} register.  Write the constraint
to indicate the type of register that is required for the operand of the
@code{sign_extend}.
@end ifset

@node Multi-Alternative
@subsection Multiple Alternative Constraints
@cindex multiple alternative constraints

Sometimes a single instruction has multiple alternative sets of possible
operands.  For example, on the 68000, a logical-or instruction can combine
register or an immediate value into memory, or it can combine any kind of
operand into a register; but it cannot combine one memory location into
another.

These constraints are represented as multiple alternatives.  An alternative
can be described by a series of letters for each operand.  The overall
constraint for an operand is made from the letters for this operand
from the first alternative, a comma, the letters for this operand from
the second alternative, a comma, and so on until the last alternative.
All operands for a single instruction must have the same number of 
alternatives.
@ifset INTERNALS
Here is how it is done for fullword logical-or on the 68000:

@smallexample
(define_insn "iorsi3"
  [(set (match_operand:SI 0 "general_operand" "=m,d")
        (ior:SI (match_operand:SI 1 "general_operand" "%0,0")
                (match_operand:SI 2 "general_operand" "dKs,dmKs")))]
  @dots{})
@end smallexample

The first alternative has @samp{m} (memory) for operand 0, @samp{0} for
operand 1 (meaning it must match operand 0), and @samp{dKs} for operand
2.  The second alternative has @samp{d} (data register) for operand 0,
@samp{0} for operand 1, and @samp{dmKs} for operand 2.  The @samp{=} and
@samp{%} in the constraints apply to all the alternatives; their
meaning is explained in a later section (@pxref{Modifiers}).

If all the operands fit any one alternative, the instruction is valid.
Otherwise, for each alternative, the compiler counts how many instructions
must be added to copy the operands so that that alternative applies.
The alternative requiring the least copying is chosen.  If two alternatives
need the same amount of copying, the one that comes first is chosen.
These choices can be altered with the @samp{?} and @samp{!} characters:

@table @code
@cindex @samp{?} in constraint
@cindex question mark
@item ?
Disparage slightly the alternative that the @samp{?} appears in,
as a choice when no alternative applies exactly.  The compiler regards
this alternative as one unit more costly for each @samp{?} that appears
in it.

@cindex @samp{!} in constraint
@cindex exclamation point
@item !
Disparage severely the alternative that the @samp{!} appears in.
This alternative can still be used if it fits without reloading,
but if reloading is needed, some other alternative will be used.

@cindex @samp{^} in constraint
@cindex caret
@item ^
This constraint is analogous to @samp{?} but it disparages slightly
the alternative only if the operand with the @samp{^} needs a reload.

@cindex @samp{$} in constraint
@cindex dollar sign
@item $
This constraint is analogous to @samp{!} but it disparages severely
the alternative only if the operand with the @samp{$} needs a reload.
@end table

When an insn pattern has multiple alternatives in its constraints, often
the appearance of the assembler code is determined mostly by which
alternative was matched.  When this is so, the C code for writing the
assembler code can use the variable @code{which_alternative}, which is
the ordinal number of the alternative that was actually satisfied (0 for
the first, 1 for the second alternative, etc.).  @xref{Output Statement}.
@end ifset
@ifclear INTERNALS

So the first alternative for the 68000's logical-or could be written as 
@code{"+m" (output) : "ir" (input)}.  The second could be @code{"+r" 
(output): "irm" (input)}.  However, the fact that two memory locations 
cannot be used in a single instruction prevents simply using @code{"+rm" 
(output) : "irm" (input)}.  Using multi-alternatives, this might be 
written as @code{"+m,r" (output) : "ir,irm" (input)}.  This describes
all the available alternatives to the compiler, allowing it to choose 
the most efficient one for the current conditions.

There is no way within the template to determine which alternative was 
chosen.  However you may be able to wrap your @code{asm} statements with 
builtins such as @code{__builtin_constant_p} to achieve the desired results.
@end ifclear

@ifset INTERNALS
@node Class Preferences
@subsection Register Class Preferences
@cindex class preference constraints
@cindex register class preference constraints

@cindex voting between constraint alternatives
The operand constraints have another function: they enable the compiler
to decide which kind of hardware register a pseudo register is best
allocated to.  The compiler examines the constraints that apply to the
insns that use the pseudo register, looking for the machine-dependent
letters such as @samp{d} and @samp{a} that specify classes of registers.
The pseudo register is put in whichever class gets the most ``votes''.
The constraint letters @samp{g} and @samp{r} also vote: they vote in
favor of a general register.  The machine description says which registers
are considered general.

Of course, on some machines all registers are equivalent, and no register
classes are defined.  Then none of this complexity is relevant.
@end ifset

@node Modifiers
@subsection Constraint Modifier Characters
@cindex modifiers in constraints
@cindex constraint modifier characters

@c prevent bad page break with this line
Here are constraint modifier characters.

@table @samp
@cindex @samp{=} in constraint
@item =
Means that this operand is written to by this instruction:
the previous value is discarded and replaced by new data.

@cindex @samp{+} in constraint
@item +
Means that this operand is both read and written by the instruction.

When the compiler fixes up the operands to satisfy the constraints,
it needs to know which operands are read by the instruction and
which are written by it.  @samp{=} identifies an operand which is only
written; @samp{+} identifies an operand that is both read and written; all
other operands are assumed to only be read.

If you specify @samp{=} or @samp{+} in a constraint, you put it in the
first character of the constraint string.

@cindex @samp{&} in constraint
@cindex earlyclobber operand
@item &
Means (in a particular alternative) that this operand is an
@dfn{earlyclobber} operand, which is written before the instruction is
finished using the input operands.  Therefore, this operand may not lie
in a register that is read by the instruction or as part of any memory
address.

@samp{&} applies only to the alternative in which it is written.  In
constraints with multiple alternatives, sometimes one alternative
requires @samp{&} while others do not.  See, for example, the
@samp{movdf} insn of the 68000.

An operand which is read by the instruction can be tied to an earlyclobber
operand if its only use as an input occurs before the early result is
written.  Adding alternatives of this form often allows GCC to produce
better code when only some of the read operands can be affected by the
earlyclobber. See, for example, the @samp{mulsi3} insn of the ARM@.

Furthermore, if the @dfn{earlyclobber} operand is also a read/write
operand, then that operand is written only after it's used.

@samp{&} does not obviate the need to write @samp{=} or @samp{+}.  As
@dfn{earlyclobber} operands are always written, a read-only
@dfn{earlyclobber} operand is ill-formed and will be rejected by the
compiler.

@cindex @samp{%} in constraint
@item %
Declares the instruction to be commutative for this operand and the
following operand.  This means that the compiler may interchange the
two operands if that is the cheapest way to make all operands fit the
constraints.  @samp{%} applies to all alternatives and must appear as
the first character in the constraint.  Only read-only operands can use
@samp{%}.

@ifset INTERNALS
This is often used in patterns for addition instructions
that really have only two operands: the result must go in one of the
arguments.  Here for example, is how the 68000 halfword-add
instruction is defined:

@smallexample
(define_insn "addhi3"
  [(set (match_operand:HI 0 "general_operand" "=m,r")
     (plus:HI (match_operand:HI 1 "general_operand" "%0,0")
              (match_operand:HI 2 "general_operand" "di,g")))]
  @dots{})
@end smallexample
@end ifset
GCC can only handle one commutative pair in an asm; if you use more,
the compiler may fail.  Note that you need not use the modifier if
the two alternatives are strictly identical; this would only waste
time in the reload pass.
@ifset INTERNALS
The modifier is not operational after
register allocation, so the result of @code{define_peephole2}
and @code{define_split}s performed after reload cannot rely on
@samp{%} to make the intended insn match.

@cindex @samp{#} in constraint
@item #
Says that all following characters, up to the next comma, are to be
ignored as a constraint.  They are significant only for choosing
register preferences.

@cindex @samp{*} in constraint
@item *
Says that the following character should be ignored when choosing
register preferences.  @samp{*} has no effect on the meaning of the
constraint as a constraint, and no effect on reloading.  For LRA
@samp{*} additionally disparages slightly the alternative if the
following character matches the operand.

Here is an example: the 68000 has an instruction to sign-extend a
halfword in a data register, and can also sign-extend a value by
copying it into an address register.  While either kind of register is
acceptable, the constraints on an address-register destination are
less strict, so it is best if register allocation makes an address
register its goal.  Therefore, @samp{*} is used so that the @samp{d}
constraint letter (for data register) is ignored when computing
register preferences.

@smallexample
(define_insn "extendhisi2"
  [(set (match_operand:SI 0 "general_operand" "=*d,a")
        (sign_extend:SI
         (match_operand:HI 1 "general_operand" "0,g")))]
  @dots{})
@end smallexample
@end ifset

@node Machine Constraints
@subsection Constraints for Particular Machines
@cindex machine specific constraints
@cindex constraints, machine specific

Whenever possible, you should use the general-purpose constraint letters
in @code{asm} arguments, since they will convey meaning more readily to
people reading your code.  Failing that, use the constraint letters
that usually have very similar meanings across architectures.  The most
commonly used constraints are @samp{m} and @samp{r} (for memory and
general-purpose registers respectively; @pxref{Simple Constraints}), and
@samp{I}, usually the letter indicating the most common
immediate-constant format.

Each architecture defines additional constraints.  These constraints
are used by the compiler itself for instruction generation, as well as
for @code{asm} statements; therefore, some of the constraints are not
particularly useful for @code{asm}.  Here is a summary of some of the
machine-dependent constraints available on some particular machines;
it includes both constraints that are useful for @code{asm} and
constraints that aren't.  The compiler source file mentioned in the

@table @code
@item r
A general purpose register (GPR), @code{r0}@dots{}@code{r31}.

@item b
A base register.  Like @code{r}, but @code{r0} is not allowed, so
@code{r1}@dots{}@code{r31}.

@item f
A floating point register (FPR), @code{f0}@dots{}@code{f31}.

@item d
A floating point register.  This is the same as @code{f} nowadays;
historically @code{f} was for single-precision and @code{d} was for
double-precision floating point.

@item v
An Altivec vector register (VR), @code{v0}@dots{}@code{v31}.

@item wa
A VSX register (VSR), @code{vs0}@dots{}@code{vs63}.  This is either an

(@code{vs32}@dots{}@code{vs63} are @code{v0}@dots{}@code{v31}).

When using @code{wa}, you should use the @code{%x} output modifier, so that
the correct register number is printed.  For example:

@smallexample
asm ("xvadddp %x0,%x1,%x2"
     : "=wa" (v1)
     : "wa" (v2), "wa" (v3));
@end smallexample

You should not use @code{%x} for @code{v} operands:

     : "=v" (v1)
     : "v" (v2), "v" (v3));

@item H
A floating point constant that can be loaded into a register using
three instructions.
@end ifset

@item m
A memory operand.
Normally, @code{m} does not allow addresses that update the base register.
If the @code{<} or @code{>} constraint is also used, they are allowed and
therefore on PowerPC targets in that case it is only safe
to use @code{m<>} in an @code{asm} statement if that @code{asm} statement
accesses the operand exactly once.  The @code{asm} statement must also
use @code{%U@var{<opno>}} as a placeholder for the ``update'' flag in the
corresponding load or store instruction.  For example:

@smallexample
asm ("st%U0 %1,%0" : "=m<>" (mem) : "r" (val));
@end smallexample

is correct but:

@smallexample
asm ("st %1,%0" : "=m<>" (mem) : "r" (val));
@end smallexample

is not.

@ifset INTERNALS
@item es
A ``stable'' memory operand; that is, one which does not include any
automodification of the base register.  This used to be useful when
@code{m} allowed automodification of the base register, but as those
are now only allowed when @code{<} or @code{>} is used, @code{es} is
basically the same as @code{m} without @code{<} and @code{>}.

@node Disable Insn Alternatives
@subsection Disable insn alternatives using the @code{enabled} attribute
@cindex enabled

There are three insn attributes that may be used to selectively disable
instruction alternatives:

@table @code
@item enabled
Says whether an alternative is available on the current subtarget.

@item preferred_for_size
Says whether an enabled alternative should be used in code that is
optimized for size.

@item preferred_for_speed
Says whether an enabled alternative should be used in code that is
optimized for speed.
@end table

All these attributes should use @code{(const_int 1)} to allow an alternative
or @code{(const_int 0)} to disallow it.  The attributes must be a static
property of the subtarget; they cannot for example depend on the
current operands, on the current optimization level, on the location
of the insn within the body of a loop, on whether register allocation
has finished, or on the current compiler pass.

The @code{enabled} attribute is a correctness property.  It tells GCC to act
as though the disabled alternatives were never defined in the first place.
This is useful when adding new instructions to an existing pattern in
cases where the new instructions are only available for certain cpu
architecture levels (typically mapped to the @code{-march=} command-line
option).

In contrast, the @code{preferred_for_size} and @code{preferred_for_speed}
attributes are strong optimization hints rather than correctness properties.
@code{preferred_for_size} tells GCC which alternatives to consider when
adding or modifying an instruction that GCC wants to optimize for size.
@code{preferred_for_speed} does the same thing for speed.  Note that things
like code motion can lead to cases where code optimized for size uses
alternatives that are not preferred for size, and similarly for speed.

Although @code{define_insn}s can in principle specify the @code{enabled}
attribute directly, it is often clearer to have subsiduary attributes
for each architectural feature of interest.  The @code{define_insn}s
can then use these subsiduary attributes to say which alternatives
require which features.  The example below does this for @code{cpu_facility}.

E.g. the following two patterns could easily be merged using the @code{enabled}
attribute:

@smallexample

(define_insn "*movdi_old"
  [(set (match_operand:DI 0 "register_operand" "=d")
        (match_operand:DI 1 "register_operand" " d"))]
  "!TARGET_NEW"
  "lgr %0,%1")

(define_insn "*movdi_new"
  [(set (match_operand:DI 0 "register_operand" "=d,f,d")
        (match_operand:DI 1 "register_operand" " d,d,f"))]
  "TARGET_NEW"
  "@@
   lgr  %0,%1
   ldgr %0,%1
   lgdr %0,%1")

@end smallexample

to:

@smallexample

(define_insn "*movdi_combined"
  [(set (match_operand:DI 0 "register_operand" "=d,f,d")
        (match_operand:DI 1 "register_operand" " d,d,f"))]
  ""
  "@@
   lgr  %0,%1
   ldgr %0,%1
   lgdr %0,%1"
  [(set_attr "cpu_facility" "*,new,new")])

@end smallexample

with the @code{enabled} attribute defined like this:

@smallexample

(define_attr "cpu_facility" "standard,new" (const_string "standard"))

(define_attr "enabled" ""
  (cond [(eq_attr "cpu_facility" "standard") (const_int 1)
         (and (eq_attr "cpu_facility" "new")
              (ne (symbol_ref "TARGET_NEW") (const_int 0)))
         (const_int 1)]
        (const_int 0)))

@end smallexample

@end ifset

@ifset INTERNALS
@node Define Constraints
@subsection Defining Machine-Specific Constraints
@cindex defining constraints
@cindex constraints, defining

Machine-specific constraints fall into two categories: register and
non-register constraints.  Within the latter category, constraints
which allow subsets of all possible memory or address operands should
be specially marked, to give @code{reload} more information.

Machine-specific constraints can be given names of arbitrary length,
but they must be entirely composed of letters, digits, underscores
(@samp{_}), and angle brackets (@samp{< >}).  Like C identifiers, they
must begin with a letter or underscore.

In order to avoid ambiguity in operand constraint strings, no
constraint can have a name that begins with any other constraint's
name.  For example, if @code{x} is defined as a constraint name,
@code{xy} may not be, and vice versa.  As a consequence of this rule,
no constraint may begin with one of the generic constraint letters:
@samp{E F V X g i m n o p r s}.

Register constraints correspond directly to register classes.
@xref{Register Classes}.  There is thus not much flexibility in their
definitions.

@deffn {MD Expression} define_register_constraint name regclass docstring
All three arguments are string constants.
@var{name} is the name of the constraint, as it will appear in
@code{match_operand} expressions.  If @var{name} is a multi-letter
constraint its length shall be the same for all constraints starting
with the same letter.  @var{regclass} can be either the
name of the corresponding register class (@pxref{Register Classes}),
or a C expression which evaluates to the appropriate register class.
If it is an expression, it must have no side effects, and it cannot
look at the operand.  The usual use of expressions is to map some
register constraints to @code{NO_REGS} when the register class
is not available on a given subarchitecture.

@var{docstring} is a sentence documenting the meaning of the
constraint.  Docstrings are explained further below.
@end deffn

Non-register constraints are more like predicates: the constraint
definition gives a boolean expression which indicates whether the
constraint matches.

@deffn {MD Expression} define_constraint name docstring exp
The @var{name} and @var{docstring} arguments are the same as for
@code{define_register_constraint}, but note that the docstring comes
immediately after the name for these expressions.  @var{exp} is an RTL
expression, obeying the same rules as the RTL expressions in predicate
definitions.  @xref{Defining Predicates}, for details.  If it
evaluates true, the constraint matches; if it evaluates false, it
doesn't. Constraint expressions should indicate which RTL codes they
might match, just like predicate expressions.

@code{match_test} C expressions have access to the
following variables:

@table @var
@item op
The RTL object defining the operand.
@item mode
The machine mode of @var{op}.
@item ival
@samp{INTVAL (@var{op})}, if @var{op} is a @code{const_int}.
@item hval
@samp{CONST_DOUBLE_HIGH (@var{op})}, if @var{op} is an integer
@code{const_double}.
@item lval
@samp{CONST_DOUBLE_LOW (@var{op})}, if @var{op} is an integer
@code{const_double}.
@item rval
@samp{CONST_DOUBLE_REAL_VALUE (@var{op})}, if @var{op} is a floating-point
@code{const_double}.
@end table

The @var{*val} variables should only be used once another piece of the
expression has verified that @var{op} is the appropriate kind of RTL
object.
@end deffn

Most non-register constraints should be defined with
@code{define_constraint}.  The remaining two definition expressions
are only appropriate for constraints that should be handled specially
by @code{reload} if they fail to match.

@deffn {MD Expression} define_memory_constraint name docstring exp
Use this expression for constraints that match a subset of all memory
operands: that is, @code{reload} can make them match by converting the
operand to the form @samp{@w{(mem (reg @var{X}))}}, where @var{X} is a
base register (from the register class specified by
@code{BASE_REG_CLASS}, @pxref{Register Classes}).

For example, on the S/390, some instructions do not accept arbitrary
memory references, but only those that do not make use of an index
register.  The constraint letter @samp{Q} is defined to represent a
memory address of this type.  If @samp{Q} is defined with
@code{define_memory_constraint}, a @samp{Q} constraint can handle any
memory operand, because @code{reload} knows it can simply copy the
memory address into a base register if required.  This is analogous to
the way an @samp{o} constraint can handle any memory operand.

The syntax and semantics are otherwise identical to
@code{define_constraint}.
@end deffn

@deffn {MD Expression} define_special_memory_constraint name docstring exp
Use this expression for constraints that match a subset of all memory
operands: that is, @code{reload} cannot make them match by reloading
the address as it is described for @code{define_memory_constraint} or
such address reload is undesirable with the performance point of view.

For example, @code{define_special_memory_constraint} can be useful if
specifically aligned memory is necessary or desirable for some insn
operand.

The syntax and semantics are otherwise identical to
@code{define_memory_constraint}.
@end deffn

@deffn {MD Expression} define_relaxed_memory_constraint name docstring exp
The test expression in a @code{define_memory_constraint} can assume
that @code{TARGET_LEGITIMATE_ADDRESS_P} holds for the address inside
a @code{mem} rtx and so it does not need to test this condition itself.
In other words, a @code{define_memory_constraint} test of the form:

@smallexample
(match_test "mem")
@end smallexample

is enough to test whether an rtx is a @code{mem} @emph{and} whether
its address satisfies @code{TARGET_MEM_CONSTRAINT} (which is usually
@samp{'m'}).  Thus the conditions imposed by a @code{define_memory_constraint}
always apply on top of the conditions imposed by @code{TARGET_MEM_CONSTRAINT}.

However, it is sometimes useful to define memory constraints that allow
addresses beyond those accepted by @code{TARGET_LEGITIMATE_ADDRESS_P}.
@code{define_relaxed_memory_constraint} exists for this case.
The test expression in a @code{define_relaxed_memory_constraint} is
applied with no preconditions, so that the expression can determine
``from scratch'' exactly which addresses are valid and which are not.

The syntax and semantics are otherwise identical to
@code{define_memory_constraint}.
@end deffn

@deffn {MD Expression} define_address_constraint name docstring exp
Use this expression for constraints that match a subset of all address
operands: that is, @code{reload} can make the constraint match by
converting the operand to the form @samp{@w{(reg @var{X})}}, again
with @var{X} a base register.

Constraints defined with @code{define_address_constraint} can only be
used with the @code{address_operand} predicate, or machine-specific
predicates that work the same way.  They are treated analogously to
the generic @samp{p} constraint.

The syntax and semantics are otherwise identical to
@code{define_constraint}.
@end deffn

For historical reasons, names beginning with the letters @samp{G H}
are reserved for constraints that match only @code{const_double}s, and
names beginning with the letters @samp{I J K L M N O P} are reserved
for constraints that match only @code{const_int}s.  This may change in
the future.  For the time being, constraints with these names must be
written in a stylized form, so that @code{genpreds} can tell you did
it correctly:

@smallexample
@group
(define_constraint "[@var{GHIJKLMNOP}]@dots{}"
  "@var{doc}@dots{}"
  (and (match_code "const_int")  ; @r{@code{const_double} for G/H}
       @var{condition}@dots{}))            ; @r{usually a @code{match_test}}
@end group
@end smallexample
@c the semicolons line up in the formatted manual

It is fine to use names beginning with other letters for constraints
that match @code{const_double}s or @code{const_int}s.

Each docstring in a constraint definition should be one or more complete
sentences, marked up in Texinfo format.  @emph{They are currently unused.}
In the future they will be copied into the GCC manual, in @ref{Machine
Constraints}, replacing the hand-maintained tables currently found in
that section.  Also, in the future the compiler may use this to give
more helpful diagnostics when poor choice of @code{asm} constraints
causes a reload failure.

If you put the pseudo-Texinfo directive @samp{@@internal} at the
beginning of a docstring, then (in the future) it will appear only in
the internals manual's version of the machine-specific constraint tables.
Use this for constraints that should not appear in @code{asm} statements.

@node C Constraint Interface
@subsection Testing constraints from C
@cindex testing constraints
@cindex constraints, testing

It is occasionally useful to test a constraint from C code rather than
implicitly via the constraint string in a @code{match_operand}.  The
generated file @file{tm_p.h} declares a few interfaces for working
with constraints.  At present these are defined for all constraints
except @code{g} (which is equivalent to @code{general_operand}).

Some valid constraint names are not valid C identifiers, so there is a
mangling scheme for referring to them from C@.  Constraint names that
do not contain angle brackets or underscores are left unchanged.
Underscores are doubled, each @samp{<} is replaced with @samp{_l}, and
each @samp{>} with @samp{_g}.  Here are some examples:

@c the @c's prevent double blank lines in the printed manual.
@example
@multitable {Original} {Mangled}
@item @strong{Original} @tab @strong{Mangled}  @c
@item @code{x}     @tab @code{x}       @c
@item @code{P42x}  @tab @code{P42x}    @c
@item @code{P4_x}  @tab @code{P4__x}   @c
@item @code{P4>x}  @tab @code{P4_gx}   @c
@item @code{P4>>}  @tab @code{P4_g_g}  @c
@item @code{P4_g>} @tab @code{P4__g_g} @c
@end multitable
@end example

Throughout this section, the variable @var{c} is either a constraint
in the abstract sense, or a constant from @code{enum constraint_num};
the variable @var{m} is a mangled constraint name (usually as part of
a larger identifier).

@deftp Enum constraint_num
For each constraint except @code{g}, there is a corresponding
enumeration constant: @samp{CONSTRAINT_} plus the mangled name of the
constraint.  Functions that take an @code{enum constraint_num} as an
argument expect one of these constants.
@end deftp

@deftypefun {inline bool} satisfies_constraint_@var{m} (rtx @var{exp})
For each non-register constraint @var{m} except @code{g}, there is
one of these functions; it returns @code{true} if @var{exp} satisfies the
constraint.  These functions are only visible if @file{rtl.h} was included
before @file{tm_p.h}.
@end deftypefun

@deftypefun bool constraint_satisfied_p (rtx @var{exp}, enum constraint_num @var{c})
Like the @code{satisfies_constraint_@var{m}} functions, but the
constraint to test is given as an argument, @var{c}.  If @var{c}
specifies a register constraint, this function will always return
@code{false}.
@end deftypefun

@deftypefun {enum reg_class} reg_class_for_constraint (enum constraint_num @var{c})
Returns the register class associated with @var{c}.  If @var{c} is not
a register constraint, or those registers are not available for the
currently selected subtarget, returns @code{NO_REGS}.
@end deftypefun

Here is an example use of @code{satisfies_constraint_@var{m}}.  In
peephole optimizations (@pxref{Peephole Definitions}), operand
constraint strings are ignored, so if there are relevant constraints,
they must be tested in the C condition.  In the example, the
optimization is applied if operand 2 does @emph{not} satisfy the
@samp{K} constraint.  (This is a simplified version of a peephole
definition from the i386 machine description.)

@smallexample
(define_peephole2
  [(match_scratch:SI 3 "r")
   (set (match_operand:SI 0 "register_operand" "")
        (mult:SI (match_operand:SI 1 "memory_operand" "")
                 (match_operand:SI 2 "immediate_operand" "")))]

  "!satisfies_constraint_K (operands[2])"

  [(set (match_dup 3) (match_dup 1))
   (set (match_dup 0) (mult:SI (match_dup 3) (match_dup 2)))]

  "")
@end smallexample

@node Standard Names
@section Standard Pattern Names For Generation
@cindex standard pattern names
@cindex pattern names
@cindex names, pattern

Here is a table of the instruction names that are meaningful in the RTL
generation pass of the compiler.  Giving one of these names to an
instruction pattern tells the RTL generation pass that it can use the
pattern to accomplish a certain task.

@table @asis
@cindex @code{mov@var{m}} instruction pattern
@item @samp{mov@var{m}}
Here @var{m} stands for a two-letter machine mode name, in lowercase.
This instruction pattern moves data with that machine mode from operand
1 to operand 0.  For example, @samp{movsi} moves full-word data.

If operand 0 is a @code{subreg} with mode @var{m} of a register whose
own mode is wider than @var{m}, the effect of this instruction is
to store the specified value in the part of the register that corresponds
to mode @var{m}.  Bits outside of @var{m}, but which are within the
same target word as the @code{subreg} are undefined.  Bits which are
outside the target word are left unchanged.

This class of patterns is special in several ways.  First of all, each
of these names up to and including full word size @emph{must} be defined,
because there is no other way to copy a datum from one place to another.
If there are patterns accepting operands in larger modes,
@samp{mov@var{m}} must be defined for integer modes of those sizes.

Second, these patterns are not used solely in the RTL generation pass.
Even the reload pass can generate move insns to copy values from stack
slots into temporary registers.  When it does so, one of the operands is
a hard register and the other is an operand that can need to be reloaded
into a register.

@findex force_reg
Therefore, when given such a pair of operands, the pattern must generate
RTL which needs no reloading and needs no temporary registers---no
registers other than the operands.  For example, if you support the
pattern with a @code{define_expand}, then in such a case the
@code{define_expand} mustn't call @code{force_reg} or any other such
function which might generate new pseudo registers.

This requirement exists even for subword modes on a RISC machine where
fetching those modes from memory normally requires several insns and
some temporary registers.

@findex change_address
During reload a memory reference with an invalid address may be passed
as an operand.  Such an address will be replaced with a valid address
later in the reload pass.  In this case, nothing may be done with the
address except to use it as it stands.  If it is copied, it will not be
replaced with a valid address.  No attempt should be made to make such
an address into a valid address and no routine (such as
@code{change_address}) that will do so may be called.  Note that
@code{general_operand} will fail when applied to such an address.

@findex reload_in_progress
The global variable @code{reload_in_progress} (which must be explicitly
declared if required) can be used to determine whether such special
handling is required.

The variety of operands that have reloads depends on the rest of the
machine description, but typically on a RISC machine these can only be
pseudo registers that did not get hard registers, while on other
machines explicit memory references will get optional reloads.

If a scratch register is required to move an object to or from memory,
it can be allocated using @code{gen_reg_rtx} prior to life analysis.

If there are cases which need scratch registers during or after reload,
you must provide an appropriate secondary_reload target hook.

@findex can_create_pseudo_p
The macro @code{can_create_pseudo_p} can be used to determine if it
is unsafe to create new pseudo registers.  If this variable is nonzero, then
it is unsafe to call @code{gen_reg_rtx} to allocate a new pseudo.

The constraints on a @samp{mov@var{m}} must permit moving any hard
register to any other hard register provided that
@code{TARGET_HARD_REGNO_MODE_OK} permits mode @var{m} in both registers and
@code{TARGET_REGISTER_MOVE_COST} applied to their classes returns a value
of 2.

It is obligatory to support floating point @samp{mov@var{m}}
instructions into and out of any registers that can hold fixed point
values, because unions and structures (which have modes @code{SImode} or
@code{DImode}) can be in those registers and they may have floating
point members.

There may also be a need to support fixed point @samp{mov@var{m}}
instructions in and out of floating point registers.  Unfortunately, I
have forgotten why this was so, and I don't know whether it is still
true.  If @code{TARGET_HARD_REGNO_MODE_OK} rejects fixed point values in
floating point registers, then the constraints of the fixed point
@samp{mov@var{m}} instructions must be designed to avoid ever trying to
reload into a floating point register.

@cindex @code{reload_in} instruction pattern
@cindex @code{reload_out} instruction pattern
@item @samp{reload_in@var{m}}
@itemx @samp{reload_out@var{m}}
These named patterns have been obsoleted by the target hook
@code{secondary_reload}.

Like @samp{mov@var{m}}, but used when a scratch register is required to
move between operand 0 and operand 1.  Operand 2 describes the scratch
register.  See the discussion of the @code{SECONDARY_RELOAD_CLASS}
macro in @pxref{Register Classes}.

There are special restrictions on the form of the @code{match_operand}s
used in these patterns.  First, only the predicate for the reload
operand is examined, i.e., @code{reload_in} examines operand 1, but not
the predicates for operand 0 or 2.  Second, there may be only one
alternative in the constraints.  Third, only a single register class
letter may be used for the constraint; subsequent constraint letters
are ignored.  As a special exception, an empty constraint string
matches the @code{ALL_REGS} register class.  This may relieve ports
of the burden of defining an @code{ALL_REGS} constraint letter just
for these patterns.

@cindex @code{movstrict@var{m}} instruction pattern
@item @samp{movstrict@var{m}}
Like @samp{mov@var{m}} except that if operand 0 is a @code{subreg}
with mode @var{m} of a register whose natural mode is wider,
the @samp{movstrict@var{m}} instruction is guaranteed not to alter
any of the register except the part which belongs to mode @var{m}.

@cindex @code{movmisalign@var{m}} instruction pattern
@item @samp{movmisalign@var{m}}
This variant of a move pattern is designed to load or store a value
from a memory address that is not naturally aligned for its mode.
For a store, the memory will be in operand 0; for a load, the memory
will be in operand 1.  The other operand is guaranteed not to be a
memory, so that it's easy to tell whether this is a load or store.

This pattern is used by the autovectorizer, and when expanding a
@code{MISALIGNED_INDIRECT_REF} expression.

@cindex @code{load_multiple} instruction pattern
@item @samp{load_multiple}
Load several consecutive memory locations into consecutive registers.
Operand 0 is the first of the consecutive registers, operand 1
is the first memory location, and operand 2 is a constant: the
number of consecutive registers.

Define this only if the target machine really has such an instruction;
do not define this if the most efficient way of loading consecutive
registers from memory is to do them one at a time.

On some machines, there are restrictions as to which consecutive
registers can be stored into memory, such as particular starting or
ending register numbers or only a range of valid counts.  For those
machines, use a @code{define_expand} (@pxref{Expander Definitions})
and make the pattern fail if the restrictions are not met.

Write the generated insn as a @code{parallel} with elements being a
@code{set} of one register from the appropriate memory location (you may
also need @code{use} or @code{clobber} elements).  Use a
@code{match_parallel} (@pxref{RTL Template}) to recognize the insn.  See
@file{rs6000.md} for examples of the use of this insn pattern.

@cindex @samp{store_multiple} instruction pattern
@item @samp{store_multiple}
Similar to @samp{load_multiple}, but store several consecutive registers
into consecutive memory locations.  Operand 0 is the first of the
consecutive memory locations, operand 1 is the first register, and
operand 2 is a constant: the number of consecutive registers.

@cindex @code{vec_load_lanes@var{m}@var{n}} instruction pattern
@item @samp{vec_load_lanes@var{m}@var{n}}
Perform an interleaved load of several vectors from memory operand 1
into register operand 0.  Both operands have mode @var{m}.  The register
operand is viewed as holding consecutive vectors of mode @var{n},
while the memory operand is a flat array that contains the same number
of elements.  The operation is equivalent to:

@smallexample
int c = GET_MODE_SIZE (@var{m}) / GET_MODE_SIZE (@var{n});
for (j = 0; j < GET_MODE_NUNITS (@var{n}); j++)
  for (i = 0; i < c; i++)
    operand0[i][j] = operand1[j * c + i];
@end smallexample

For example, @samp{vec_load_lanestiv4hi} loads 8 16-bit values
from memory into a register of mode @samp{TI}@.  The register
contains two consecutive vectors of mode @samp{V4HI}@.

This pattern can only be used if:
@smallexample
TARGET_ARRAY_MODE_SUPPORTED_P (@var{n}, @var{c})
@end smallexample
is true.  GCC assumes that, if a target supports this kind of
instruction for some mode @var{n}, it also supports unaligned
loads for vectors of mode @var{n}.

This pattern is not allowed to @code{FAIL}.

@cindex @code{vec_mask_load_lanes@var{m}@var{n}} instruction pattern
@item @samp{vec_mask_load_lanes@var{m}@var{n}}
Like @samp{vec_load_lanes@var{m}@var{n}}, but takes an additional
mask operand (operand 2) that specifies which elements of the destination
vectors should be loaded.  Other elements of the destination
vectors are set to zero.  The operation is equivalent to:

@smallexample
int c = GET_MODE_SIZE (@var{m}) / GET_MODE_SIZE (@var{n});
for (j = 0; j < GET_MODE_NUNITS (@var{n}); j++)
  if (operand2[j])
    for (i = 0; i < c; i++)
      operand0[i][j] = operand1[j * c + i];
  else
    for (i = 0; i < c; i++)
      operand0[i][j] = 0;
@end smallexample

This pattern is not allowed to @code{FAIL}.

@cindex @code{vec_mask_len_load_lanes@var{m}@var{n}} instruction pattern
@item @samp{vec_mask_len_load_lanes@var{m}@var{n}}
Like @samp{vec_load_lanes@var{m}@var{n}}, but takes an additional
mask operand (operand 2), length operand (operand 3) as well as bias operand (operand 4)
that specifies which elements of the destination vectors should be loaded.
Other elements of the destination vectors are undefined.  The operation is equivalent to:

@smallexample
int c = GET_MODE_SIZE (@var{m}) / GET_MODE_SIZE (@var{n});
for (j = 0; j < operand3 + operand4; j++)
  if (operand2[j])
    for (i = 0; i < c; i++)
      operand0[i][j] = operand1[j * c + i];
@end smallexample

This pattern is not allowed to @code{FAIL}.

@cindex @code{vec_store_lanes@var{m}@var{n}} instruction pattern
@item @samp{vec_store_lanes@var{m}@var{n}}
Equivalent to @samp{vec_load_lanes@var{m}@var{n}}, with the memory
and register operands reversed.  That is, the instruction is
equivalent to:

Load several separate memory locations into a vector of mode @var{m}.
Operand 1 is a scalar base address and operand 2 is a vector of mode @var{n}

the instruction loads at most (operand 6 + operand 7) elements from memory.
Bit @var{i} of the mask is set if element @var{i} of the result should
be loaded from memory and clear if element @var{i} of the result should be undefined.

at most (operand 6 + operand 7) elements of (operand 4) to memory.
Bit @var{i} of the mask is set if element @var{i} of (operand 4) should be stored.

This pattern is not allowed to @code{FAIL}.

@cindex @code{vec_extract@var{m}@var{n}} instruction pattern
@item @samp{vec_extract@var{m}@var{n}}
Extract given field from the vector value.  Operand 1 is the vector, operand 2
specify field index and operand 0 place to store value into.  The
@var{n} mode is the mode of the field or vector of fields that should be
extracted, should be either element mode of the vector mode @var{m}, or
a vector mode with the same element mode and smaller number of elements.
If @var{n} is a vector mode the index is counted in multiples of
mode @var{n}.

This pattern is not allowed to @code{FAIL}.

@cindex @code{vec_init@var{m}@var{n}} instruction pattern
@item @samp{vec_init@var{m}@var{n}}
Initialize the vector to given values.  Operand 0 is the vector to initialize
and operand 1 is parallel containing values for individual fields.  The

smaller number of elements.

@cindex @code{vec_duplicate@var{m}} instruction pattern
@item @samp{vec_duplicate@var{m}}
Initialize vector output operand 0 so that each element has the value given
by scalar input operand 1.  The vector has mode @var{m} and the scalar has
the mode appropriate for one element of @var{m}.

This pattern only handles duplicates of non-constant inputs.  Constant
vectors go through the @code{mov@var{m}} pattern instead.

This pattern is not allowed to @code{FAIL}.

@cindex @code{vec_series@var{m}} instruction pattern
@item @samp{vec_series@var{m}}
Initialize vector output operand 0 so that element @var{i} is equal to
operand 1 plus @var{i} times operand 2.  In other words, create a linear
series whose base value is operand 1 and whose step is operand 2.

The vector output has mode @var{m} and the scalar inputs have the mode
appropriate for one element of @var{m}.  This pattern is not used for
floating-point vectors, in order to avoid having to specify the
rounding behavior for @var{i} > 1.

This pattern is not allowed to @code{FAIL}.

@cindex @code{while_ult@var{m}@var{n}} instruction pattern
@item @code{while_ult@var{m}@var{n}}
Set operand 0 to a mask that is true while incrementing operand 1
gives a value that is less than operand 2, for a vector length up to operand 3.
Operand 0 has mode @var{n} and operands 1 and 2 are scalar integers of mode
@var{m}.  Operand 3 should be omitted when @var{n} is a vector mode, and
a @code{CONST_INT} otherwise.  The operation for vector modes is equivalent to:

@smallexample
operand0[0] = operand1 < operand2;
for (i = 1; i < GET_MODE_NUNITS (@var{n}); i++)
  operand0[i] = operand0[i - 1] && (operand1 + i < operand2);
@end smallexample

And for non-vector modes the operation is equivalent to:

@smallexample
operand0[0] = operand1 < operand2;
for (i = 1; i < operand3; i++)
  operand0[i] = operand0[i - 1] && (operand1 + i < operand2);
@end smallexample

@cindex @code{select_vl@var{m}} instruction pattern
@item @code{select_vl@var{m}}
Set operand 0 to the number of scalar iterations that should be handled
by one iteration of a vector loop.  Operand 1 is the total number of
scalar iterations that the loop needs to process and operand 2 is a
maximum bound on the result (also known as the maximum ``vectorization
factor'').

The maximum value of operand 0 is given by:
@smallexample
operand0 = MIN (operand1, operand2)
@end smallexample
However, targets might choose a lower value than this, based on
target-specific criteria.  Each iteration of the vector loop might
therefore process a different number of scalar iterations, which in turn
means that induction variables will have a variable step.  Because of
this, it is generally not useful to define this instruction if it will
always calculate the maximum value.

This optab is only useful on targets that implement @samp{len_load_@var{m}}
and/or @samp{len_store_@var{m}}.

@cindex @code{check_raw_ptrs@var{m}} instruction pattern
@item @samp{check_raw_ptrs@var{m}}
Check whether, given two pointers @var{a} and @var{b} and a length @var{len},
a write of @var{len} bytes at @var{a} followed by a read of @var{len} bytes
at @var{b} can be split into interleaved byte accesses
@samp{@var{a}[0], @var{b}[0], @var{a}[1], @var{b}[1], @dots{}}
without affecting the dependencies between the bytes.  Set operand 0
to true if the split is possible and false otherwise.

Operands 1, 2 and 3 provide the values of @var{a}, @var{b} and @var{len}
respectively.  Operand 4 is a constant integer that provides the known
common alignment of @var{a} and @var{b}.  All inputs have mode @var{m}.

This split is possible if:

@smallexample
@var{a} == @var{b} || @var{a} + @var{len} <= @var{b} || @var{b} + @var{len} <= @var{a}
@end smallexample

You should only define this pattern if the target has a way of accelerating
the test without having to do the individual comparisons.

Output a vector comparison.  Operand 0 of mode @var{n} is the destination for
predicate in operand 1 which is a signed vector comparison with operands of

vector comparison only.  If @code{vec_cmp@var{m}@var{n}}
or @code{vec_cmpu@var{m}@var{n}} instruction pattern is supported,
it will be preferred over @code{vec_cmpeq@var{m}@var{n}}, so there is
no need to define this instruction pattern if the others are supported.

@cindex @code{vcond@var{m}@var{n}} instruction pattern
@item @samp{vcond@var{m}@var{n}}
Output a conditional vector move.  Operand 0 is the destination to
receive a combination of operand 1 and operand 2, which are of mode @var{m},
dependent on the outcome of the predicate in operand 3 which is a signed
vector comparison with operands of mode @var{n} in operands 4 and 5.  The
modes @var{m} and @var{n} should have the same size.  Operand 0
will be set to the value @var{op1} & @var{msk} | @var{op2} & ~@var{msk}
where @var{msk} is computed by element-wise evaluation of the vector
comparison with a truth value of all-ones and a false value of all-zeros.

or @code{vcondu@var{m}@var{n}} instruction pattern is supported,
it will be preferred over @code{vcondeq@var{m}@var{n}}, so there is

@item @samp{len_load_@var{m}}
Load (operand 2 + operand 3) elements from memory operand 1
into vector register operand 0, setting the other elements of
operand 0 to undefined values.  Operands 0 and 1 have mode @var{m},
which must be a vector mode.  Operand 2 has whichever integer mode the
target prefers.  Operand 3 conceptually has mode @code{QI}.

Operand 2 can be a variable or a constant amount.  Operand 3 specifies a
constant bias: it is either a constant 0 or a constant -1.  The predicate on
operand 3 must only accept the bias values that the target actually supports.
GCC handles a bias of 0 more efficiently than a bias of -1.

If (operand 2 + operand 3) exceeds the number of elements in mode
@var{m}, the behavior is undefined.

If the target prefers the length to be measured in bytes rather than

@item @samp{mask_len_load@var{m}@var{n}}
Perform a masked load from the memory location pointed to by operand 1
into register operand 0.  (operand 3 + operand 4) elements are loaded from
memory and other elements in operand 0 are set to undefined values.
This is a combination of len_load and maskload.
Operands 0 and 1 have mode @var{m}, which must be a vector mode.  Operand 3
has whichever integer mode the target prefers.  A mask is specified in
operand 2 which must be of type @var{n}.  The mask has lower precedence than
the length and is itself subject to length masking,
i.e. only mask indices < (operand 3 + operand 4) are used.
Operand 4 conceptually has mode @code{QI}.

Operand 2 can be a variable or a constant amount.  Operand 4 specifies a

@cindex @code{vec_perm@var{m}} instruction pattern

Output a (variable) vector permutation.  Operand 0 is the destination
to receive elements from operand 1 and operand 2, which are of mode

vector of the same width and number of elements as mode @var{m}.

The input elements are numbered from 0 in operand 1 through
@math{2*@var{N}-1} in operand 2.  The elements of the selector must
be computed modulo @math{2*@var{N}}.  Note that if
@code{rtx_equal_p(operand1, operand2)}, this can be implemented
with just operand 1 and selector elements modulo @var{N}.

In order to make things easy for a number of targets, if there is no
@samp{vec_perm} pattern for mode @var{m}, but there is for mode @var{q}
where @var{q} is a vector of @code{QImode} of the same width as @var{m},
the middle-end will lower the mode @var{m} @code{VEC_PERM_EXPR} to
mode @var{q}.

See also @code{TARGET_VECTORIZER_VEC_PERM_CONST}, which performs
the analogous operation for constant selectors.

@cindex @code{push@var{m}1} instruction pattern

@cindex @code{uaddc@var{m}5} instruction pattern
@item @samp{uaddc@var{m}5}
Adds unsigned operands 2, 3 and 4 (where the last operand is guaranteed to
have only values 0 or 1) together, sets operand 0 to the result of the
addition of the 3 operands and sets operand 1 to 1 iff there was
overflow on the unsigned additions, and to 0 otherwise.  So, it is
an addition with carry in (operand 4) and carry out (operand 1).
All operands have the same mode.

@cindex @code{usubc@var{m}5} instruction pattern
@item @samp{usubc@var{m}5}
Similarly to @samp{uaddc@var{m}5}, except subtracts unsigned operands 3

normal adds are not compatible it is required to expand a distinct

@item @samp{divmod@var{m}4}
Signed division that produces both a quotient and a remainder.
Operand 1 is divided by operand 2 to produce a quotient stored
in operand 0 and a remainder stored in operand 3.

For machines with an instruction that produces both a quotient and a
remainder, provide a pattern for @samp{divmod@var{m}4} but do not
provide patterns for @samp{div@var{m}3} and @samp{mod@var{m}3}.  This
allows optimization in the relatively common case when both the quotient
and remainder are computed.

If an instruction that just produces a quotient or just a remainder
exists and is more efficient than the instruction that produces both,
write the output routine of @samp{divmod@var{m}4} to call
@code{find_reg_note} and look for a @code{REG_UNUSED} note on the
quotient or remainder and generate the appropriate instruction.

it should never be @code{VOIDmode}.  The meaning of out-of-range shift

@cindex @code{cpymem@var{m}} instruction pattern
@item @samp{cpymem@var{m}}
Block copy instruction.  The destination and source blocks of memory
are the first two operands, and both are @code{mem:BLK}s with an
address in mode @code{Pmode}.

The number of bytes to copy is the third operand, in mode @var{m}.
Usually, you specify @code{Pmode} for @var{m}.  However, if you can
generate better code knowing the range of valid lengths is smaller than
those representable in a full Pmode pointer, you should provide
a pattern with a
mode corresponding to the range of values you can handle efficiently
(e.g., @code{QImode} for values in the range 0--127; note we avoid numbers
that appear negative) and also a pattern with @code{Pmode}.

The fourth operand is the known shared alignment of the source and
destination, in the form of a @code{const_int} rtx.  Thus, if the
compiler knows that both source and destination are word-aligned,
it may provide the value 4 for this operand.

Optional operands 5 and 6 specify expected alignment and size of block
respectively.  The expected alignment differs from alignment in operand 4
in a way that the blocks are not required to be aligned according to it in
all cases. This expected alignment is also in bytes, just like operand 4.
Expected size, when unknown, is set to @code{(const_int -1)}.

Descriptions of multiple @code{cpymem@var{m}} patterns can only be
beneficial if the patterns for smaller modes have fewer restrictions
on their first, second and fourth operands.  Note that the mode @var{m}
in @code{cpymem@var{m}} does not impose any restriction on the mode of
individually copied data units in the block.

The @code{cpymem@var{m}} patterns need not give special consideration
to the possibility that the source and destination strings might
overlap. These patterns are used to do inline expansion of
@code{__builtin_memcpy}.

@cindex @code{movmem@var{m}} instruction pattern
@item @samp{movmem@var{m}}
Block move instruction.  The destination and source blocks of memory
are the first two operands, and both are @code{mem:BLK}s with an

destination, in the form of a @code{const_int} rtx.  Thus, if the
compiler knows that both source and destination are word-aligned,
it may provide the value 4 for this operand.

Optional operands 5 and 6 specify expected alignment and size of block
respectively.  The expected alignment differs from alignment in operand 4
in a way that the blocks are not required to be aligned according to it in
all cases. This expected alignment is also in bytes, just like operand 4.
Expected size, when unknown, is set to @code{(const_int -1)}.

Descriptions of multiple @code{movmem@var{m}} patterns can only be
beneficial if the patterns for smaller modes have fewer restrictions
on their first, second and fourth operands.  Note that the mode @var{m}
in @code{movmem@var{m}} does not impose any restriction on the mode of
individually copied data units in the block.

The @code{movmem@var{m}} patterns must correctly handle the case where
the source and destination strings overlap. These patterns are used to
do inline expansion of @code{__builtin_memmove}.

@cindex @code{movstr} instruction pattern
@item @samp{movstr}
String copy instruction, with @code{stpcpy} semantics.  Operand 0 is
an output operand in mode @code{Pmode}.  The addresses of the
destination and source strings are operands 1 and 2, and both are
@code{mem:BLK}s with addresses in mode @code{Pmode}.  The execution of
the expansion of this pattern should store in operand 0 the address in
which the @code{NUL} terminator was stored in the destination string.

This pattern has also several optional operands that are same as in
@code{setmem}.

@cindex @code{setmem@var{m}} instruction pattern
@item @samp{setmem@var{m}}
Block set instruction.  The destination string is the first operand,
given as a @code{mem:BLK} whose address is in mode @code{Pmode}.  The
number of bytes to set is the second operand, in mode @var{m}.  The value to
initialize the memory with is the third operand. Targets that only support the
clearing of memory should reject any value that is not the constant 0.  See
@samp{cpymem@var{m}} for a discussion of the choice of mode.

The fourth operand is the known alignment of the destination, in the form
of a @code{const_int} rtx.  Thus, if the compiler knows that the
destination is word-aligned, it may provide the value 4 for this
operand.

Optional operands 5 and 6 specify expected alignment and size of block
respectively.  The expected alignment differs from alignment in operand 4
in a way that the blocks are not required to be aligned according to it in
all cases. This expected alignment is also in bytes, just like operand 4.
Expected size, when unknown, is set to @code{(const_int -1)}.
Operand 7 is the minimal size of the block and operand 8 is the
maximal size of the block (NULL if it cannot be represented as CONST_INT).
Operand 9 is the probable maximal size (i.e.@: we cannot rely on it for
correctness, but it can be used for choosing proper code sequence for a
given size).

The use for multiple @code{setmem@var{m}} is as for @code{cpymem@var{m}}.

@cindex @code{cmpstrn@var{m}} instruction pattern
@item @samp{cmpstrn@var{m}}
String compare instruction, with five operands.  Operand 0 is the output;
it has mode @var{m}.  The remaining four operands are like the operands
of @samp{cpymem@var{m}}.  The two memory blocks specified are compared
byte by byte in lexicographic order starting at the beginning of each
string.  The instruction is not allowed to prefetch more than one byte
at a time since either string may end in the first byte and reading past
that may access an invalid page or segment and cause a fault.  The
comparison terminates early if the fetched bytes are different or if
they are equal to zero.  The effect of the instruction is to store a
value in operand 0 whose sign indicates the result of the comparison.

@cindex @code{cmpstr@var{m}} instruction pattern
@item @samp{cmpstr@var{m}}
String compare instruction, without known maximum length.  Operand 0 is the
output; it has mode @var{m}.  The second and third operand are the blocks of
memory to be compared; both are @code{mem:BLK} with an address in mode
@code{Pmode}.

The fourth operand is the known shared alignment of the source and
destination, in the form of a @code{const_int} rtx.  Thus, if the
compiler knows that both source and destination are word-aligned,
it may provide the value 4 for this operand.

The two memory blocks specified are compared byte by byte in lexicographic
order starting at the beginning of each string.  The instruction is not allowed
to prefetch more than one byte at a time since either string may end in the
first byte and reading past that may access an invalid page or segment and
cause a fault.  The comparison will terminate when the fetched bytes
are different or if they are equal to zero.  The effect of the
instruction is to store a value in operand 0 whose sign indicates the
result of the comparison.

@cindex @code{cmpmem@var{m}} instruction pattern
@item @samp{cmpmem@var{m}}
Block compare instruction, with five operands like the operands
of @samp{cmpstr@var{m}}.  The two memory blocks specified are compared

block.  Unlike @samp{cmpstr@var{m}} the instruction can prefetch
any bytes in the two memory blocks.  Also unlike @samp{cmpstr@var{m}}
the comparison will not stop if both bytes are zero.  The effect of
the instruction is to store a value in operand 0 whose sign indicates
the result of the comparison.

@cindex @code{strlen@var{m}} instruction pattern

and operand 3 is a constant describing the known alignment
of the beginning of the string.

in the memory block given by operand 1.

Conditionally move operand 2 or operand 3 into operand 0 according to the

When operand 1 is true, perform an operation on operands 2 and 3 and

@cindex @code{neg@var{mode}cc} instruction pattern

Similar to @samp{mov@var{mode}cc} but for conditional negation.  Conditionally
move the negation of operand 2 or the unchanged operand 3 into operand 0
according to the comparison in operand 1.  If the comparison is true, the negation
of operand 2 is moved into operand 0, otherwise operand 3 is moved.

@cindex @code{not@var{mode}cc} instruction pattern
@item @samp{not@var{mode}cc}
Similar to @samp{neg@var{mode}cc} but for conditional complement.
Conditionally move the bitwise complement of operand 2 or the unchanged
operand 3 into operand 0 according to the comparison in operand 1.
If the comparison is true, the complement of operand 2 is moved into
operand 0, otherwise operand 3 is moved.

@cindex @code{cstore@var{mode}4} instruction pattern
@item @samp{cstore@var{mode}4}
Store zero or nonzero in operand 0 according to whether a comparison
is true.  Operand 1 is a comparison operator.  Operand 2 and operand 3
are the first and second operand of the comparison, respectively.
You specify the mode that operand 0 must have when you write the
@code{match_operand} expression.  The compiler automatically sees which
mode you have used and supplies an operand of that mode.

The value stored for a true condition must have 1 as its low bit, or
else must be negative.  Otherwise the instruction is not suitable and
you should omit it from the machine description.  You describe to the
compiler exactly which value is stored by defining the macro
@code{STORE_FLAG_VALUE} (@pxref{Misc}).  If a description cannot be
found that can be used for all the possible comparison operators, you
should pick one and use a @code{define_expand} to map all results
onto the one you chose.

These operations may @code{FAIL}, but should do so only in relatively
uncommon cases; if they would @code{FAIL} for common cases involving
integer comparisons, it is best to restrict the predicates to not
allow these operands.  Likewise if a given comparison operator will
always fail, independent of the operands (for floating-point modes, the
@code{ordered_comparison_operator} predicate is often useful in this case).

If this pattern is omitted, the compiler will generate a conditional
branch---for example, it may copy a constant one to the target and branching
around an assignment of zero to the target---or a libcall.  If the predicate
for operand 1 only rejects some operators, it will also try reordering the
operands and/or inverting the result value (e.g.@: by an exclusive OR).
These possibilities could be cheaper or equivalent to the instructions
used for the @samp{cstore@var{mode}4} pattern followed by those required
to convert a positive result from @code{STORE_FLAG_VALUE} to 1; in this
case, you can and should make operand 1's predicate reject some operators
in the @samp{cstore@var{mode}4} pattern, or remove the pattern altogether
from the machine description.

@cindex @code{tbranch_@var{op}@var{mode}3} instruction pattern
@item @samp{tbranch_@var{op}@var{mode}3}
Conditional branch instruction combined with a bit test-and-compare
instruction. Operand 0 is the operand of the comparison.  Operand 1 is the bit
position of Operand 1 to test.  Operand 3 is the @code{code_label} to jump to.
@var{op} is one of @var{eq} or @var{ne}.

@cindex @code{cbranch@var{mode}4} instruction pattern
@item @samp{cbranch@var{mode}4}
Conditional branch instruction combined with a compare instruction.
Operand 0 is a comparison operator.  Operand 1 and operand 2 are the
first and second operands of the comparison, respectively.  Operand 3
is the @code{code_label} to jump to.

@cindex @code{jump} instruction pattern
@item @samp{jump}
A jump inside a function; an unconditional branch.  Operand 0 is the
@code{code_label} to jump to.  This pattern name is mandatory on all
machines.

@cindex @code{call} instruction pattern
@item @samp{call}
Subroutine call instruction returning no value.  Operand 0 is the
function to call; operand 1 is the number of bytes of arguments pushed
as a @code{const_int}.  Operand 2 is the result of calling the target
hook @code{TARGET_FUNCTION_ARG} with the second argument @code{arg}
yielding true for @code{arg.end_marker_p ()}, in a call after all
parameters have been passed to that hook.  By default this is the first
register beyond those used for arguments in the call, or @code{NULL} if
all the argument-registers are used in the call.

On most machines, operand 2 is not actually stored into the RTL
pattern.  It is supplied for the sake of some RISC machines which need
to put this information into the assembler code; they can put it in
the RTL instead of operand 1.

Operand 0 should be a @code{mem} RTX whose address is the address of the
function.  Note, however, that this address can be a @code{symbol_ref}
expression even if it would not be a legitimate memory address on the
target machine.  If it is also not a valid argument for a call
instruction, the pattern for this operation should be a
@code{define_expand} (@pxref{Expander Definitions}) that places the
address into a register and uses that register in the call instruction.

@cindex @code{call_value} instruction pattern
@item @samp{call_value}
Subroutine call instruction returning a value.  Operand 0 is the hard
register in which the value is returned.  There are three more
operands, the same as the three operands of the @samp{call}
instruction (but with numbers increased by one).

Subroutines that return @code{BLKmode} objects use the @samp{call}
insn.

@cindex @code{call_pop} instruction pattern
@cindex @code{call_value_pop} instruction pattern
@item @samp{call_pop}, @samp{call_value_pop}
Similar to @samp{call} and @samp{call_value}, except used if defined and
if @code{RETURN_POPS_ARGS} is nonzero.  They should emit a @code{parallel}
that contains both the function call and a @code{set} to indicate the
adjustment made to the frame pointer.

For machines where @code{RETURN_POPS_ARGS} can be nonzero, the use of these
patterns increases the number of functions for which the frame pointer
can be eliminated, if desired.

@cindex @code{untyped_call} instruction pattern
@item @samp{untyped_call}
Subroutine call instruction returning a value of any type.  Operand 0 is
the function to call; operand 1 is a memory location where the result of
calling the function is to be stored; operand 2 is a @code{parallel}
expression where each element is a @code{set} expression that indicates
the saving of a function return value into the result block.

This instruction pattern should be defined to support
@code{__builtin_apply} on machines where special instructions are needed
to call a subroutine with arbitrary arguments or to save the value
returned.  This instruction pattern is required on machines that have
multiple registers that can hold a return value
(i.e.@: @code{FUNCTION_VALUE_REGNO_P} is true for more than one register).

@cindex @code{return} instruction pattern
@item @samp{return}
Subroutine return instruction.  This instruction pattern name should be
defined only if a single instruction can do all the work of returning
from a function.

Like the @samp{mov@var{m}} patterns, this pattern is also used after the
RTL generation phase.  In this case it is to support machines where
multiple instructions are usually needed to return from a function, but
some class of functions only requires one instruction to implement a
return.  Normally, the applicable functions are those which do not need
to save any registers or allocate stack space.

It is valid for this pattern to expand to an instruction using
@code{simple_return} if no epilogue is required.

@cindex @code{simple_return} instruction pattern
@item @samp{simple_return}
Subroutine return instruction.  This instruction pattern name should be
defined only if a single instruction can do all the work of returning
from a function on a path where no epilogue is required.  This pattern
is very similar to the @code{return} instruction pattern, but it is emitted
only by the shrink-wrapping optimization on paths where the function
prologue has not been executed, and a function return should occur without
any of the effects of the epilogue.  Additional uses may be introduced on
paths where both the prologue and the epilogue have executed.

@findex reload_completed
@findex leaf_function_p
For such machines, the condition specified in this pattern should only
be true when @code{reload_completed} is nonzero and the function's
epilogue would only be a single instruction.  For machines with register
windows, the routine @code{leaf_function_p} may be used to determine if
a register window push is required.

Machines that have conditional return instructions should define patterns
such as

@smallexample
(define_insn ""
  [(set (pc)
        (if_then_else (match_operator
                         0 "comparison_operator"
                         [(reg:CC CC_REG) (const_int 0)])
                      (return)
                      (pc)))]
  "@var{condition}"
  "@dots{}")
@end smallexample

where @var{condition} would normally be the same condition specified on the
named @samp{return} pattern.

@cindex @code{untyped_return} instruction pattern
@item @samp{untyped_return}
Untyped subroutine return instruction.  This instruction pattern should
be defined to support @code{__builtin_return} on machines where special
instructions are needed to return a value of any type.

Operand 0 is a memory location where the result of calling a function
with @code{__builtin_apply} is stored; operand 1 is a @code{parallel}
expression where each element is a @code{set} expression that indicates
the restoring of a function return value from the result block.

@cindex @code{nop} instruction pattern
@item @samp{nop}
No-op instruction.  This instruction pattern name should always be defined
to output a no-op in assembler code.  @code{(const_int 0)} will do as an
RTL pattern.

@cindex @code{indirect_jump} instruction pattern
@item @samp{indirect_jump}
An instruction to jump to an address which is operand zero.
This pattern name is mandatory on all machines.

@cindex @code{casesi} instruction pattern
@item @samp{casesi}
Instruction to jump through a dispatch table, including bounds checking.
This instruction takes five operands:

@enumerate
@item
The index to dispatch on, which has mode @code{SImode}.

@item
The lower bound for indices in the table, an integer constant.

@item
The total range of indices in the table---the largest index
minus the smallest one (both inclusive).

@item
A label that precedes the table itself.

@item
A label to jump to if the index has a value outside the bounds.
@end enumerate

The table is an @code{addr_vec} or @code{addr_diff_vec} inside of a
@code{jump_table_data}.  The number of elements in the table is one plus the
difference between the upper bound and the lower bound.

@cindex @code{tablejump} instruction pattern
@item @samp{tablejump}
Instruction to jump to a variable address.  This is a low-level
capability which can be used to implement a dispatch table when there
is no @samp{casesi} pattern.

This pattern requires two operands: the address or offset, and a label
which should immediately precede the jump table.  If the macro
@code{CASE_VECTOR_PC_RELATIVE} evaluates to a nonzero value then the first
operand is an offset which counts from the address of the table; otherwise,
it is an absolute address to jump to.  In either case, the first operand has
mode @code{Pmode}.

The @samp{tablejump} insn is always the last insn before the jump
table it uses.  Its assembler code normally has no need to use the
second operand, but you should incorporate it in the RTL pattern so
that the jump optimizer will not delete the table as unreachable code.


@cindex @code{doloop_end} instruction pattern
@item @samp{doloop_end}
Conditional branch instruction that decrements a register and
jumps if the register is nonzero.  Operand 0 is the register to
decrement and test; operand 1 is the label to jump to if the
register is nonzero.
@xref{Looping Patterns}.

This optional instruction pattern should be defined for machines with
low-overhead looping instructions as the loop optimizer will try to
modify suitable loops to utilize it.  The target hook
@code{TARGET_CAN_USE_DOLOOP_P} controls the conditions under which
low-overhead loops can be used.

@cindex @code{doloop_begin} instruction pattern
@item @samp{doloop_begin}
Companion instruction to @code{doloop_end} required for machines that
need to perform some initialization, such as loading a special counter
register.  Operand 1 is the associated @code{doloop_end} pattern and
operand 0 is the register that it decrements.

If initialization insns do not always need to be emitted, use a
@code{define_expand} (@pxref{Expander Definitions}) and make it fail.

@cindex @code{canonicalize_funcptr_for_compare} instruction pattern
@item @samp{canonicalize_funcptr_for_compare}
Canonicalize the function pointer in operand 1 and store the result
into operand 0.

Operand 0 is always a @code{reg} and has mode @code{Pmode}; operand 1
may be a @code{reg}, @code{mem}, @code{symbol_ref}, @code{const_int}, etc
and also has mode @code{Pmode}.

Canonicalization of a function pointer usually involves computing
the address of the function which would be called if the function
pointer were used in an indirect call.

Only define this pattern if function pointers on the target machine
can have different values but still call the same function when
used in an indirect call.

@cindex @code{save_stack_block} instruction pattern
@cindex @code{save_stack_function} instruction pattern
@cindex @code{save_stack_nonlocal} instruction pattern
@cindex @code{restore_stack_block} instruction pattern

@itemx @samp{save_stack_nonlocal}
@itemx @samp{restore_stack_block}
@itemx @samp{restore_stack_function}
@itemx @samp{restore_stack_nonlocal}
Most machines save and restore the stack pointer by copying it to or
from an object of mode @code{Pmode}.  Do not define these patterns on
such machines.

Some machines require special handling for stack pointer saves and
restores.  On those machines, define the patterns corresponding to the
non-standard cases by using a @code{define_expand} (@pxref{Expander
Definitions}) that produces the required insns.  The three types of
saves and restores are:

@enumerate
@item
@samp{save_stack_block} saves the stack pointer at the start of a block
that allocates a variable-sized object, and @samp{restore_stack_block}
restores the stack pointer when the block is exited.

@item
@samp{save_stack_function} and @samp{restore_stack_function} do a
similar job for the outermost block of a function and are used when the
function allocates variable-sized objects or calls @code{alloca}.  Only
the epilogue uses the restored stack pointer, allowing a simpler save or
restore sequence on some machines.

@item
@samp{save_stack_nonlocal} is used in functions that contain labels
branched to by nested functions.  It saves the stack pointer in such a
way that the inner function can use @samp{restore_stack_nonlocal} to
restore the stack pointer.  The compiler generates code to restore the
frame and argument pointer registers, but some machines require saving
and restoring additional data such as register window information or
stack backchains.  Place insns in these patterns to save and restore any
such required data.
@end enumerate

When saving the stack pointer, operand 0 is the save area and operand 1
is the stack pointer.  The mode used to allocate the save area defaults
to @code{Pmode} but you can override that choice by defining the
@code{STACK_SAVEAREA_MODE} macro (@pxref{Storage Layout}).  You must
specify an integral mode, or @code{VOIDmode} if no save area is needed
for a particular type of save (either because no save is needed or
because a machine-specific save area can be used).  Operand 0 is the
stack pointer and operand 1 is the save area for restore operations.  If
@samp{save_stack_block} is defined, operand 0 must not be
@code{VOIDmode} since these saves can be arbitrarily nested.

A save area is a @code{mem} that is at a constant offset from
@code{virtual_stack_vars_rtx} when the stack pointer is saved for use by
nonlocal gotos and a @code{reg} in the other two cases.

@cindex @code{allocate_stack} instruction pattern
@item @samp{allocate_stack}
Subtract (or add if @code{STACK_GROWS_DOWNWARD} is undefined) operand 1 from
the stack pointer to create space for dynamically allocated data.

Store the resultant pointer to this space into operand 0.  If you
are allocating space from the main stack, do this by emitting a
move insn to copy @code{virtual_stack_dynamic_rtx} to operand 0.
If you are allocating the space elsewhere, generate code to copy the
location of the space to operand 0.  In the latter case, you must
ensure this space gets freed when the corresponding space on the main
stack is free.

Do not define this pattern if all that must be done is the subtraction.
Some machines require other operations such as stack probes or
maintaining the back chain.  Define this pattern to emit those
operations in addition to updating the stack pointer.

@cindex @code{check_stack} instruction pattern
@item @samp{check_stack}
If stack checking (@pxref{Stack Checking}) cannot be done on your system by
probing the stack, define this pattern to perform the needed check and signal
an error if the stack has overflowed.  The single operand is the address in
the stack farthest from the current stack pointer that you need to validate.
Normally, on platforms where this pattern is needed, you would obtain the
stack limit from a global or thread-specific variable or register.

@cindex @code{probe_stack_address} instruction pattern
@item @samp{probe_stack_address}
If stack checking (@pxref{Stack Checking}) can be done on your system by
probing the stack but without the need to actually access it, define this
pattern and signal an error if the stack has overflowed.  The single operand
is the memory address in the stack that needs to be probed.

@cindex @code{probe_stack} instruction pattern
@item @samp{probe_stack}
If stack checking (@pxref{Stack Checking}) can be done on your system by
probing the stack but doing it with a ``store zero'' instruction is not valid
or optimal, define this pattern to do the probing differently and signal an
error if the stack has overflowed.  The single operand is the memory reference
in the stack that needs to be probed.

@cindex @code{nonlocal_goto} instruction pattern
@item @samp{nonlocal_goto}
Emit code to generate a non-local goto, e.g., a jump from one function
to a label in an outer function.  This pattern has four arguments,
each representing a value to be used in the jump.  The first
argument is to be loaded into the frame pointer, the second is
the address to branch to (code to dispatch to the actual label),
the third is the address of a location where the stack is saved,
and the last is the address of the label, to be placed in the
location for the incoming static chain.

On most machines you need not define this pattern, since GCC will
already generate the correct code, which is to load the frame pointer
and static chain, restore the stack (using the
@samp{restore_stack_nonlocal} pattern, if defined), and jump indirectly
to the dispatcher.  You need only define this pattern if this code will
not work on your machine.

@cindex @code{nonlocal_goto_receiver} instruction pattern
@item @samp{nonlocal_goto_receiver}
This pattern, if defined, contains code needed at the target of a
nonlocal goto after the code already generated by GCC@.  You will not
normally need to define this pattern.  A typical reason why you might
need this pattern is if some value, such as a pointer to a global table,
must be restored when the frame pointer is restored.  Note that a nonlocal
goto only occurs within a unit-of-translation, so a global table pointer
that is shared by all functions of a given module need not be restored.
There are no arguments.

@cindex @code{exception_receiver} instruction pattern
@item @samp{exception_receiver}
This pattern, if defined, contains code needed at the site of an
exception handler that isn't needed at the site of a nonlocal goto.  You
will not normally need to define this pattern.  A typical reason why you
might need this pattern is if some value, such as a pointer to a global
table, must be restored after control flow is branched to the handler of
an exception.  There are no arguments.

@cindex @code{builtin_setjmp_setup} instruction pattern
@item @samp{builtin_setjmp_setup}
This pattern, if defined, contains additional code needed to initialize
the @code{jmp_buf}.  You will not normally need to define this pattern.
A typical reason why you might need this pattern is if some value, such
as a pointer to a global table, must be restored.  Though it is
preferred that the pointer value be recalculated if possible (given the
address of a label for instance).  The single argument is a pointer to
the @code{jmp_buf}.  Note that the buffer is five words long and that
the first three are normally used by the generic mechanism.

@cindex @code{builtin_setjmp_receiver} instruction pattern
@item @samp{builtin_setjmp_receiver}
This pattern, if defined, contains code needed at the site of a
built-in setjmp that isn't needed at the site of a nonlocal goto.  You
will not normally need to define this pattern.  A typical reason why you
might need this pattern is if some value, such as a pointer to a global
table, must be restored.  It takes one argument, which is the label
to which builtin_longjmp transferred control; this pattern may be emitted
at a small offset from that label.

@cindex @code{builtin_longjmp} instruction pattern
@item @samp{builtin_longjmp}
This pattern, if defined, performs the entire action of the longjmp.
You will not normally need to define this pattern unless you also define
@code{builtin_setjmp_setup}.  The single argument is a pointer to the
@code{jmp_buf}.

@cindex @code{eh_return} instruction pattern
@item @samp{eh_return}
This pattern, if defined, affects the way @code{__builtin_eh_return},
and thence the call frame exception handling library routines, are
built.  It is intended to handle non-trivial actions needed along
the abnormal return path.

The address of the exception handler to which the function should return
is passed as operand to this pattern.  It will normally need to copied by
the pattern to some special register or memory location.
If the pattern needs to determine the location of the target call
frame in order to do so, it may use @code{EH_RETURN_STACKADJ_RTX},
if defined; it will have already been assigned.

If this pattern is not defined, the default action will be to simply
copy the return address to @code{EH_RETURN_HANDLER_RTX}.  Either
that macro or this pattern needs to be defined if call frame exception
handling is to be used.

@cindex @code{prologue} instruction pattern
@anchor{prologue instruction pattern}
@item @samp{prologue}
This pattern, if defined, emits RTL for entry to a function.  The function
entry is responsible for setting up the stack frame, initializing the frame
pointer register, saving callee saved registers, etc.

Using a prologue pattern is generally preferred over defining
@code{TARGET_ASM_FUNCTION_PROLOGUE} to emit assembly code for the prologue.

The @code{prologue} pattern is particularly useful for targets which perform
instruction scheduling.

@cindex @code{window_save} instruction pattern
@anchor{window_save instruction pattern}
@item @samp{window_save}
This pattern, if defined, emits RTL for a register window save.  It should
be defined if the target machine has register windows but the window events
are decoupled from calls to subroutines.  The canonical example is the SPARC
architecture.

@cindex @code{epilogue} instruction pattern
@anchor{epilogue instruction pattern}
@item @samp{epilogue}
This pattern emits RTL for exit from a function.  The function
exit is responsible for deallocating the stack frame, restoring callee saved
registers and emitting the return instruction.

Using an epilogue pattern is generally preferred over defining
@code{TARGET_ASM_FUNCTION_EPILOGUE} to emit assembly code for the epilogue.

The @code{epilogue} pattern is particularly useful for targets which perform
instruction scheduling or which have delay slots for their return instruction.

@cindex @code{sibcall_epilogue} instruction pattern
@item @samp{sibcall_epilogue}
This pattern, if defined, emits RTL for exit from a function without the final
branch back to the calling function.  This pattern will be emitted before any
sibling call (aka tail call) sites.

The @code{sibcall_epilogue} pattern must not clobber any arguments used for
parameter passing or any stack slots for arguments passed to the current
function.

@cindex @code{trap} instruction pattern
@item @samp{trap}
This pattern, if defined, signals an error, typically by causing some
kind of signal to be raised.

@cindex @code{ctrap@var{MM}4} instruction pattern
@item @samp{ctrap@var{MM}4}
Conditional trap instruction.  Operand 0 is a piece of RTL which
performs a comparison, and operands 1 and 2 are the arms of the
comparison.  Operand 3 is the trap code, an integer.

A typical @code{ctrap} pattern looks like

@smallexample
(define_insn "ctrapsi4"
  [(trap_if (match_operator 0 "trap_operator"
             [(match_operand 1 "register_operand")
              (match_operand 2 "immediate_operand")])
            (match_operand 3 "const_int_operand" "i"))]
  ""
  "@dots{}")
@end smallexample

@cindex @code{prefetch} instruction pattern
@item @samp{prefetch}
This pattern, if defined, emits code for a non-faulting data prefetch
instruction.  Operand 0 is the address of the memory to prefetch.  Operand 1
is a constant 1 if the prefetch is preparing for a write to the memory
address, or a constant 0 otherwise.  Operand 2 is the expected degree of
temporal locality of the data and is a value between 0 and 3, inclusive; 0
means that the data has no temporal locality, so it need not be left in the
cache after the access; 3 means that the data has a high degree of temporal
locality and should be left in all levels of cache possible;  1 and 2 mean,
respectively, a low or moderate degree of temporal locality.

Targets that do not support write prefetches or locality hints can ignore
the values of operands 1 and 2.

@cindex @code{blockage} instruction pattern
@item @samp{blockage}
This pattern defines a pseudo insn that prevents the instruction
scheduler and other passes from moving instructions and using register
equivalences across the boundary defined by the blockage insn.
This needs to be an UNSPEC_VOLATILE pattern or a volatile ASM.

@cindex @code{memory_blockage} instruction pattern
@item @samp{memory_blockage}
This pattern, if defined, represents a compiler memory barrier, and will be
placed at points across which RTL passes may not propagate memory accesses.
This instruction needs to read and write volatile BLKmode memory.  It does
not need to generate any machine instruction.  If this pattern is not defined,
the compiler falls back to emitting an instruction corresponding
to @code{asm volatile ("" ::: "memory")}.

@cindex @code{memory_barrier} instruction pattern
@item @samp{memory_barrier}
If the target memory model is not fully synchronous, then this pattern
should be defined to an instruction that orders both loads and stores
before the instruction with respect to loads and stores after the instruction.
This pattern has no operands.

@cindex @code{speculation_barrier} instruction pattern
@item @samp{speculation_barrier}
If the target can support speculative execution, then this pattern should
be defined to an instruction that will block subsequent execution until
any prior speculation conditions has been resolved.  The pattern must also
ensure that the compiler cannot move memory operations past the barrier,
so it needs to be an UNSPEC_VOLATILE pattern.  The pattern has no
operands.

If this pattern is not defined then the default expansion of
@code{__builtin_speculation_safe_value} will emit a warning.  You can
suppress this warning by defining this pattern with a final condition
of @code{0} (zero), which tells the compiler that a speculation
barrier is not needed for this target.

@cindex @code{sync_compare_and_swap@var{mode}} instruction pattern
@item @samp{sync_compare_and_swap@var{mode}}
This pattern, if defined, emits code for an atomic compare-and-swap
operation.  Operand 1 is the memory on which the atomic operation is
performed.  Operand 2 is the ``old'' value to be compared against the
current contents of the memory location.  Operand 3 is the ``new'' value
to store in the memory if the compare succeeds.  Operand 0 is the result
of the operation; it should contain the contents of the memory
before the operation.  If the compare succeeds, this should obviously be
a copy of operand 2.

This pattern must show that both operand 0 and operand 1 are modified.

This pattern must issue any memory barrier instructions such that all
memory operations before the atomic operation occur before the atomic
operation and all memory operations after the atomic operation occur
after the atomic operation.

For targets where the success or failure of the compare-and-swap
operation is available via the status flags, it is possible to
avoid a separate compare operation and issue the subsequent
branch or store-flag operation immediately after the compare-and-swap.
To this end, GCC will look for a @code{MODE_CC} set in the
output of @code{sync_compare_and_swap@var{mode}}; if the machine
description includes such a set, the target should also define special
@code{cbranchcc4} and/or @code{cstorecc4} instructions.  GCC will then
be able to take the destination of the @code{MODE_CC} set and pass it
to the @code{cbranchcc4} or @code{cstorecc4} pattern as the first
operand of the comparison (the second will be @code{(const_int 0)}).

For targets where the operating system may provide support for this
operation via library calls, the @code{sync_compare_and_swap_optab}
may be initialized to a function with the same interface as the
@code{__sync_val_compare_and_swap_@var{n}} built-in.  If the entire
set of @var{__sync} builtins are supported via library calls, the
target can initialize all of the optabs at once with
@code{init_sync_libfuncs}.
For the purposes of C++11 @code{std::atomic::is_lock_free}, it is
assumed that these library calls do @emph{not} use any kind of
interruptable locking.

@cindex @code{sync_add@var{mode}} instruction pattern
@cindex @code{sync_sub@var{mode}} instruction pattern
@cindex @code{sync_ior@var{mode}} instruction pattern
@cindex @code{sync_and@var{mode}} instruction pattern
@cindex @code{sync_xor@var{mode}} instruction pattern
@cindex @code{sync_nand@var{mode}} instruction pattern
@item @samp{sync_add@var{mode}}, @samp{sync_sub@var{mode}}
@itemx @samp{sync_ior@var{mode}}, @samp{sync_and@var{mode}}
@itemx @samp{sync_xor@var{mode}}, @samp{sync_nand@var{mode}}
These patterns emit code for an atomic operation on memory.
Operand 0 is the memory on which the atomic operation is performed.
Operand 1 is the second operand to the binary operator.

This pattern must issue any memory barrier instructions such that all
memory operations before the atomic operation occur before the atomic
operation and all memory operations after the atomic operation occur
after the atomic operation.

If these patterns are not defined, the operation will be constructed
from a compare-and-swap operation, if defined.

@cindex @code{sync_old_add@var{mode}} instruction pattern
@cindex @code{sync_old_sub@var{mode}} instruction pattern
@cindex @code{sync_old_ior@var{mode}} instruction pattern

@itemx @samp{sync_old_ior@var{mode}}, @samp{sync_old_and@var{mode}}
@itemx @samp{sync_old_xor@var{mode}}, @samp{sync_old_nand@var{mode}}
These patterns emit code for an atomic operation on memory,
and return the value that the memory contained before the operation.
Operand 0 is the result value, operand 1 is the memory on which the
atomic operation is performed, and operand 2 is the second operand
to the binary operator.

This pattern must issue any memory barrier instructions such that all
memory operations before the atomic operation occur before the atomic
operation and all memory operations after the atomic operation occur
after the atomic operation.

If these patterns are not defined, the operation will be constructed
from a compare-and-swap operation, if defined.

@cindex @code{sync_new_add@var{mode}} instruction pattern

@itemx @samp{sync_new_ior@var{mode}}, @samp{sync_new_and@var{mode}}
@itemx @samp{sync_new_xor@var{mode}}, @samp{sync_new_nand@var{mode}}
These patterns are like their @code{sync_old_@var{op}} counterparts,
except that they return the value that exists in the memory location
after the operation, rather than before the operation.

@cindex @code{sync_lock_test_and_set@var{mode}} instruction pattern
@item @samp{sync_lock_test_and_set@var{mode}}
This pattern takes two forms, based on the capabilities of the target.
In either case, operand 0 is the result of the operand, operand 1 is
the memory on which the atomic operation is performed, and operand 2
is the value to set in the lock.

In the ideal case, this operation is an atomic exchange operation, in
which the previous value in memory operand is copied into the result
operand, and the value operand is stored in the memory operand.

For less capable targets, any value operand that is not the constant 1
should be rejected with @code{FAIL}.  In this case the target may use
an atomic test-and-set bit operation.  The result operand should contain
1 if the bit was previously set and 0 if the bit was previously clear.
The true contents of the memory operand are implementation defined.

This pattern must issue any memory barrier instructions such that the
pattern as a whole acts as an acquire barrier, that is all memory
operations after the pattern do not occur until the lock is acquired.

If this pattern is not defined, the operation will be constructed from
a compare-and-swap operation, if defined.

@cindex @code{sync_lock_release@var{mode}} instruction pattern
@item @samp{sync_lock_release@var{mode}}
This pattern, if defined, releases a lock set by
@code{sync_lock_test_and_set@var{mode}}.  Operand 0 is the memory
that contains the lock; operand 1 is the value to store in the lock.

If the target doesn't implement full semantics for
@code{sync_lock_test_and_set@var{mode}}, any value operand which is not
the constant 0 should be rejected with @code{FAIL}, and the true contents
of the memory operand are implementation defined.

This pattern must issue any memory barrier instructions such that the
pattern as a whole acts as a release barrier, that is the lock is
released only after all previous memory operations have completed.

If this pattern is not defined, then a @code{memory_barrier} pattern
will be emitted, followed by a store of the value to the memory operand.

@cindex @code{atomic_compare_and_swap@var{mode}} instruction pattern
@item @samp{atomic_compare_and_swap@var{mode}} 
This pattern, if defined, emits code for an atomic compare-and-swap
operation with memory model semantics.  Operand 2 is the memory on which
the atomic operation is performed.  Operand 0 is an output operand which
is set to true or false based on whether the operation succeeded.  Operand
1 is an output operand which is set to the contents of the memory before
the operation was attempted.  Operand 3 is the value that is expected to
be in memory.  Operand 4 is the value to put in memory if the expected
value is found there.  Operand 5 is set to 1 if this compare and swap is to
be treated as a weak operation.  Operand 6 is the memory model to be used
if the operation is a success.  Operand 7 is the memory model to be used
if the operation fails.

If memory referred to in operand 2 contains the value in operand 3, then
operand 4 is stored in memory pointed to by operand 2 and fencing based on
the memory model in operand 6 is issued.  

If memory referred to in operand 2 does not contain the value in operand 3,
then fencing based on the memory model in operand 7 is issued.

If a target does not support weak compare-and-swap operations, or the port
elects not to implement weak operations, the argument in operand 5 can be
ignored.  Note a strong implementation must be provided.

If this pattern is not provided, the @code{__atomic_compare_exchange}
built-in functions will utilize the legacy @code{sync_compare_and_swap}
pattern with an @code{__ATOMIC_SEQ_CST} memory model.

@cindex @code{atomic_load@var{mode}} instruction pattern
@item @samp{atomic_load@var{mode}}
This pattern implements an atomic load operation with memory model
semantics.  Operand 1 is the memory address being loaded from.  Operand 0
is the result of the load.  Operand 2 is the memory model to be used for
the load operation.

If not present, the @code{__atomic_load} built-in function will either
resort to a normal load with memory barriers, or a compare-and-swap
operation if a normal load would not be atomic.

@cindex @code{atomic_store@var{mode}} instruction pattern
@item @samp{atomic_store@var{mode}}
This pattern implements an atomic store operation with memory model
semantics.  Operand 0 is the memory address being stored to.  Operand 1
is the value to be written.  Operand 2 is the memory model to be used for
the operation.

If not present, the @code{__atomic_store} built-in function will attempt to
perform a normal store and surround it with any required memory fences.  If
the store would not be atomic, then an @code{__atomic_exchange} is
attempted with the result being ignored.

@cindex @code{atomic_exchange@var{mode}} instruction pattern
@item @samp{atomic_exchange@var{mode}}
This pattern implements an atomic exchange operation with memory model
semantics.  Operand 1 is the memory location the operation is performed on.
Operand 0 is an output operand which is set to the original value contained
in the memory pointed to by operand 1.  Operand 2 is the value to be
stored.  Operand 3 is the memory model to be used.

If this pattern is not present, the built-in function
@code{__atomic_exchange} will attempt to preform the operation with a
compare and swap loop.

@cindex @code{atomic_add@var{mode}} instruction pattern

These patterns emit code for an atomic operation on memory with memory
model semantics. Operand 0 is the memory on which the atomic operation is
performed.  Operand 1 is the second operand to the binary operator.
Operand 2 is the memory model to be used by the operation.

If these patterns are not defined, attempts will be made to use legacy
@code{sync} patterns, or equivalent patterns which return a result.  If
none of these are available a compare-and-swap loop will be used.

These patterns emit code for an atomic operation on memory with memory
model semantics, and return the original value. Operand 0 is an output 
operand which contains the value of the memory location before the 
operation was performed.  Operand 1 is the memory on which the atomic 
operation is performed.  Operand 2 is the second operand to the binary
operator.  Operand 3 is the memory model to be used by the operation.

If these patterns are not defined, attempts will be made to use legacy

These patterns emit code for an atomic operation on memory with memory
model semantics and return the result after the operation is performed.
Operand 0 is an output operand which contains the value after the
operation.  Operand 1 is the memory on which the atomic operation is
performed.  Operand 2 is the second operand to the binary operator.
Operand 3 is the memory model to be used by the operation.

If these patterns are not defined, attempts will be made to use legacy
@code{sync} patterns, or equivalent patterns which return the result before
the operation followed by the arithmetic operation required to produce the
result.  If none of these are available a compare-and-swap loop will be
used.

@cindex @code{atomic_test_and_set} instruction pattern
@item @samp{atomic_test_and_set}
This pattern emits code for @code{__builtin_atomic_test_and_set}.
Operand 0 is an output operand which is set to true if the previous
previous contents of the byte was "set", and false otherwise.  Operand 1
is the @code{QImode} memory to be modified.  Operand 2 is the memory
model to be used.

The specific value that defines "set" is implementation defined, and
is normally based on what is performed by the native atomic test and set
instruction.

@itemx @samp{atomic_bit_test_and_complement@var{mode}}
@itemx @samp{atomic_bit_test_and_reset@var{mode}}
These patterns emit code for an atomic bitwise operation on memory with memory
model semantics, and return the original value of the specified bit.
Operand 0 is an output operand which contains the value of the specified bit
from the memory location before the operation was performed.  Operand 1 is the
memory on which the atomic operation is performed.  Operand 2 is the bit within
the operand, starting with least significant bit.  Operand 3 is the memory model
to be used by the operation.  Operand 4 is a flag - it is @code{const1_rtx}
if operand 0 should contain the original value of the specified bit in the
least significant bit of the operand, and @code{const0_rtx} if the bit should
be in its original position in the operand.
@code{atomic_bit_test_and_set@var{mode}} atomically sets the specified bit after
remembering its original value, @code{atomic_bit_test_and_complement@var{mode}}
inverts the specified bit and @code{atomic_bit_test_and_reset@var{mode}} clears
the specified bit.

If these patterns are not defined, attempts will be made to use
@code{atomic_fetch_or@var{mode}}, @code{atomic_fetch_xor@var{mode}} or
@code{atomic_fetch_and@var{mode}} instruction patterns, or their @code{sync}

These patterns emit code for an atomic operation on memory with memory
model semantics if the fetch result is used only in a comparison against
zero.
Operand 0 is an output operand which contains a boolean result of comparison
of the value after the operation against zero.  Operand 1 is the memory on
which the atomic operation is performed.  Operand 2 is the second operand
to the binary operator.  Operand 3 is the memory model to be used by the
operation.  Operand 4 is an integer holding the comparison code, one of
@code{EQ}, @code{NE}, @code{LT}, @code{GT}, @code{LE} or @code{GE}.

If these patterns are not defined, attempts will be made to use separate

and this expansion is not invoked.

The compiler always emits a compiler memory barrier regardless of what
expanding this pattern produced.

If this pattern is not defined, the compiler falls back to expanding the
@code{memory_barrier} pattern, then to emitting @code{__sync_synchronize}
library call, and finally to just placing a compiler memory barrier.

@cindex @code{get_thread_pointer@var{mode}} instruction pattern
@cindex @code{set_thread_pointer@var{mode}} instruction pattern
@item @samp{get_thread_pointer@var{mode}}
@itemx @samp{set_thread_pointer@var{mode}}
These patterns emit code that reads/sets the TLS thread pointer. Currently,
these are only needed if the target needs to support the
@code{__builtin_thread_pointer} and @code{__builtin_set_thread_pointer}
builtins.

The get/set patterns have a single output/input operand respectively,
with @var{mode} intended to be @code{Pmode}.

@cindex @code{stack_protect_combined_set} instruction pattern
@item @samp{stack_protect_combined_set}
This pattern, if defined, moves a @code{ptr_mode} value from an address
whose declaration RTX is given in operand 1 to the memory in operand 0
without leaving the value in a register afterward.  If several
instructions are needed by the target to perform the operation (eg. to
load the address from a GOT entry then load the @code{ptr_mode} value
and finally store it), it is the backend's responsibility to ensure no
intermediate result gets spilled.  This is to avoid leaking the value
some place that an attacker might use to rewrite the stack guard slot
after having clobbered it.

If this pattern is not defined, then the address declaration is
expanded first in the standard way and a @code{stack_protect_set}
pattern is then generated to move the value from that address to the
address in operand 0.

@cindex @code{stack_protect_set} instruction pattern
@item @samp{stack_protect_set}
This pattern, if defined, moves a @code{ptr_mode} value from the valid
memory location in operand 1 to the memory in operand 0 without leaving
the value in a register afterward.  This is to avoid leaking the value
some place that an attacker might use to rewrite the stack guard slot
after having clobbered it.

Note: on targets where the addressing modes do not allow to load
directly from stack guard address, the address is expanded in a standard
way first which could cause some spills.

If this pattern is not defined, then a plain move pattern is generated.

@cindex @code{stack_protect_combined_test} instruction pattern
@item @samp{stack_protect_combined_test}
This pattern, if defined, compares a @code{ptr_mode} value from an
address whose declaration RTX is given in operand 1 with the memory in
operand 0 without leaving the value in a register afterward and
branches to operand 2 if the values were equal.  If several
instructions are needed by the target to perform the operation (eg. to
load the address from a GOT entry then load the @code{ptr_mode} value
and finally store it), it is the backend's responsibility to ensure no
intermediate result gets spilled.  This is to avoid leaking the value
some place that an attacker might use to rewrite the stack guard slot
after having clobbered it.

If this pattern is not defined, then the address declaration is
expanded first in the standard way and a @code{stack_protect_test}
pattern is then generated to compare the value from that address to the
value at the memory in operand 0.

@cindex @code{stack_protect_test} instruction pattern
@item @samp{stack_protect_test}
This pattern, if defined, compares a @code{ptr_mode} value from the
valid memory location in operand 1 with the memory in operand 0 without
leaving the value in a register afterward and branches to operand 2 if
the values were equal.

If this pattern is not defined, then a plain compare pattern and
conditional branch pattern is used.

@cindex @code{clear_cache} instruction pattern
@item @samp{clear_cache}
This pattern, if defined, flushes the instruction cache for a region of
memory.  The region is bounded to by the Pmode pointers in operand 0
inclusive and operand 1 exclusive.

If this pattern is not defined, a call to the library function
@code{__clear_cache} is used.

@cindex @code{spaceship@var{m}3} instruction pattern
@item @samp{spaceship@var{m}3}
Initialize output operand 0 with mode of integer type to -1, 0, 1 or 2
if operand 1 with mode @var{m} compares less than operand 2, equal to
operand 2, greater than operand 2 or is unordered with operand 2.
@var{m} should be a scalar floating point mode.

This pattern is not allowed to @code{FAIL}.

@node Pattern Ordering
@section When the Order of Patterns Matters
@cindex Pattern Ordering
@cindex Ordering of Patterns

Sometimes an insn can match more than one instruction pattern.  Then the
pattern that appears first in the machine description is the one used.
Therefore, more specific patterns (patterns that will match fewer things)
and faster instructions (those that will produce better code when they
do match) should usually go first in the description.

In some cases the effect of ordering the patterns can be used to hide
a pattern when it is not valid.  For example, the 68000 has an
instruction for converting a fullword to floating point and another
for converting a byte to floating point.  An instruction converting
an integer to floating point could match either one.  We put the
pattern to convert the fullword first to make sure that one will
be used rather than the other.  (Otherwise a large integer might
be generated as a single-byte immediate quantity, which would not work.)
Instead of using this pattern ordering it would be possible to make the
pattern for convert-a-byte smart enough to deal properly with any
constant value.

@end ifset
@ifset INTERNALS
@node Dependent Patterns
@section Interdependence of Patterns
@cindex Dependent Patterns
@cindex Interdependence of Patterns

In some cases machines support instructions identical except for the
machine mode of one or more operands.  For example, there may be
``sign-extend halfword'' and ``sign-extend byte'' instructions whose
patterns are

@smallexample
(set (match_operand:SI 0 @dots{})
     (extend:SI (match_operand:HI 1 @dots{})))

(set (match_operand:SI 0 @dots{})
     (extend:SI (match_operand:QI 1 @dots{})))
@end smallexample

@noindent
Constant integers do not specify a machine mode, so an instruction to
extend a constant value could match either pattern.  The pattern it
actually will match is the one that appears first in the file.  For correct
results, this must be the one for the widest possible mode (@code{HImode},
here).  If the pattern matches the @code{QImode} instruction, the results
will be incorrect if the constant value does not actually fit that mode.

Such instructions to extend constants are rarely generated because they are
optimized away, but they do occasionally happen in nonoptimized
compilations.

If a constraint in a pattern allows a constant, the reload pass may
replace a register with a constant permitted by the constraint in some
cases.  Similarly for memory references.  Because of this substitution,
you should not provide separate patterns for increment and decrement
instructions.  Instead, they should be generated from the same pattern
that supports register-register add insns by examining the operands and
generating the appropriate machine instruction.

@end ifset
@ifset INTERNALS
@node Jump Patterns
@section Defining Jump Instruction Patterns
@cindex jump instruction patterns
@cindex defining jump instruction patterns

GCC does not assume anything about how the machine realizes jumps.
The machine description should define a single pattern, usually
a @code{define_expand}, which expands to all the required insns.

Usually, this would be a comparison insn to set the condition code
and a separate branch insn testing the condition code and branching
or not according to its value.  For many machines, however,
separating compares and branches is limiting, which is why the
more flexible approach with one @code{define_expand} is used in GCC.
The machine description becomes clearer for architectures that
have compare-and-branch instructions but no condition code.  It also
works better when different sets of comparison operators are supported
by different kinds of conditional branches (e.g.@: integer vs.@:
floating-point), or by conditional branches with respect to conditional stores.

Two separate insns are always used on most machines that use a separate
condition code register (@pxref{Condition Code}).

Even in this case having a single entry point for conditional branches
is advantageous, because it handles equally well the case where a single
comparison instruction records the results of both signed and unsigned
comparison of the given operands (with the branch insns coming in distinct
signed and unsigned flavors) as in the x86 or SPARC, and the case where
there are distinct signed and unsigned compare instructions and only
one set of conditional branch instructions as in the PowerPC.

@node Looping Patterns
@section Defining Looping Instruction Patterns
@cindex looping instruction patterns
@cindex defining looping instruction patterns

Some machines have special jump instructions that can be utilized to
make loops more efficient.  A common example is the 68000 @samp{dbra}
instruction which performs a decrement of a register and a branch if the
result was greater than zero.  Other machines, in particular digital
signal processors (DSPs), have special block repeat instructions to
provide low-overhead loop support.  For example, the TI TMS320C3x/C4x
DSPs have a block repeat instruction that loads special registers to
mark the top and end of a loop and to count the number of loop
iterations.  This avoids the need for fetching and executing a
@samp{dbra}-like instruction and avoids pipeline stalls associated with
the jump.

GCC has two special named patterns to support low overhead looping.
They are @samp{doloop_begin} and @samp{doloop_end}.  These are emitted
by the loop optimizer for certain well-behaved loops with a finite
number of loop iterations using information collected during strength
reduction.

The @samp{doloop_end} pattern describes the actual looping instruction
(or the implicit looping operation) and the @samp{doloop_begin} pattern
is an optional companion pattern that can be used for initialization
needed for some low-overhead looping instructions.

Note that some machines require the actual looping instruction to be
emitted at the top of the loop (e.g., the TMS320C3x/C4x DSPs).  Emitting
the true RTL for a looping instruction at the top of the loop can cause
problems with flow analysis.  So instead, a dummy @code{doloop} insn is
emitted at the end of the loop.  The machine dependent reorg pass checks
for the presence of this @code{doloop} insn and then searches back to
the top of the loop, where it inserts the true looping insn (provided
there are no instructions in the loop which would cause problems).  Any
additional labels can be emitted at this point.  In addition, if the
desired special iteration counter register was not allocated, this
machine dependent reorg pass could emit a traditional compare and jump
instruction pair.

For the @samp{doloop_end} pattern, the loop optimizer allocates an
additional pseudo register as an iteration counter.  This pseudo
register cannot be used within the loop (i.e., general induction
variables cannot be derived from it), however, in many cases the loop
induction variable may become redundant and removed by the flow pass.

The @samp{doloop_end} pattern must have a specific structure to be
handled correctly by GCC.  The example below is taken (slightly
simplified) from the PDP-11 target:

@smallexample
@group
(define_expand "doloop_end"
  [(parallel [(set (pc)
                   (if_then_else
                    (ne (match_operand:HI 0 "nonimmediate_operand" "+r,!m")
                        (const_int 1))
                    (label_ref (match_operand 1 "" ""))
                    (pc)))
              (set (match_dup 0)
                   (plus:HI (match_dup 0)
                         (const_int -1)))])]
  ""
  "@{
    if (GET_MODE (operands[0]) != HImode)
      FAIL;
  @}")

(define_insn "doloop_end_insn"
  [(set (pc)
        (if_then_else
         (ne (match_operand:HI 0 "nonimmediate_operand" "+r,!m")
             (const_int 1))
         (label_ref (match_operand 1 "" ""))
         (pc)))
   (set (match_dup 0)
        (plus:HI (match_dup 0)
              (const_int -1)))]
  ""
  
  @{
    if (which_alternative == 0)
      return "sob %0,%l1";

    /* emulate sob */
    output_asm_insn ("dec %0", operands);
    return "bne %l1";
  @})
@end group
@end smallexample

The first part of the pattern describes the branch condition.  GCC
supports three cases for the way the target machine handles the loop
counter:
@itemize @bullet
@item Loop terminates when the loop register decrements to zero.  This
is represented by a @code{ne} comparison of the register (its old value)
with constant 1 (as in the example above).
@item Loop terminates when the loop register decrements to @minus{}1.
This is represented by a @code{ne} comparison of the register with
constant zero.
@item Loop terminates when the loop register decrements to a negative
value.  This is represented by a @code{ge} comparison of the register
with constant zero.  For this case, GCC will attach a @code{REG_NONNEG}
note to the @code{doloop_end} insn if it can determine that the register
will be non-negative.
@end itemize

Since the @code{doloop_end} insn is a jump insn that also has an output,
the reload pass does not handle the output operand.  Therefore, the
constraint must allow for that operand to be in memory rather than a
register.  In the example shown above, that is handled (in the
@code{doloop_end_insn} pattern) by using a loop instruction sequence
that can handle memory operands when the memory alternative appears.

GCC does not check the mode of the loop register operand when generating
the @code{doloop_end} pattern.  If the pattern is only valid for some
modes but not others, the pattern should be a @code{define_expand}
pattern that checks the operand mode in the preparation code, and issues
@code{FAIL} if an unsupported mode is found.  The example above does
this, since the machine instruction to be used only exists for
@code{HImode}.

If the @code{doloop_end} pattern is a @code{define_expand}, there must
also be a @code{define_insn} or @code{define_insn_and_split} matching
the generated pattern.  Otherwise, the compiler will fail during loop
optimization.

@node Insn Canonicalizations
@section Canonicalization of Instructions
@cindex canonicalization of instructions
@cindex insn canonicalization

There are often cases where multiple RTL expressions could represent an
operation performed by a single machine instruction.  This situation is
most commonly encountered with logical, branch, and multiply-accumulate
instructions.  In such cases, the compiler attempts to convert these
multiple RTL expressions into a single canonical form to reduce the
number of insn patterns required.

In addition to algebraic simplifications, following canonicalizations
are performed:

@itemize @bullet
@item
For commutative and comparison operators, a constant is always made the
second operand.  If a machine only supports a constant as the second
operand, only patterns that match a constant in the second operand need
be supplied.

@cindex @code{vec_merge}, canonicalization of
@item
For the @code{vec_merge} with constant mask(the third operand), the first
and the second operand can be exchanged by inverting the mask. In such cases,
a constant is always made the second operand, otherwise the least significant
bit of the mask is always set(select the first operand first).

@item
For associative operators, a sequence of operators will always chain
to the left; for instance, only the left operand of an integer @code{plus}
can itself be a @code{plus}.  @code{and}, @code{ior}, @code{xor},
@code{plus}, @code{mult}, @code{smin}, @code{smax}, @code{umin}, and
@code{umax} are associative when applied to integers, and sometimes to
floating-point.

@cindex @code{neg}, canonicalization of
@cindex @code{not}, canonicalization of
@cindex @code{mult}, canonicalization of
@cindex @code{plus}, canonicalization of
@cindex @code{minus}, canonicalization of
@item
For these operators, if only one operand is a @code{neg}, @code{not},
@code{mult}, @code{plus}, or @code{minus} expression, it will be the
first operand.

@item
In combinations of @code{neg}, @code{mult}, @code{plus}, and
@code{minus}, the @code{neg} operations (if any) will be moved inside
the operations as far as possible.  For instance,
@code{(neg (mult A B))} is canonicalized as @code{(mult (neg A) B)}, but
@code{(plus (mult (neg B) C) A)} is canonicalized as
@code{(minus A (mult B C))}.

@cindex @code{compare}, canonicalization of
@item
For the @code{compare} operator, a constant is always the second operand
if the first argument is a condition code register.

@item
For instructions that inherently set a condition code register, the
@code{compare} operator is always written as the first RTL expression of
the @code{parallel} instruction pattern.  For example,

@smallexample
(define_insn ""
  [(set (reg:CCZ FLAGS_REG)
	(compare:CCZ
	  (plus:SI
	    (match_operand:SI 1 "register_operand" "%r")
	    (match_operand:SI 2 "register_operand" "r"))
	  (const_int 0)))
   (set (match_operand:SI 0 "register_operand" "=r")
	(plus:SI (match_dup 1) (match_dup 2)))]
  ""
  "addl %0, %1, %2")
@end smallexample

@item
An operand of @code{neg}, @code{not}, @code{mult}, @code{plus}, or
@code{minus} is made the first operand under the same conditions as
above.

@item
@code{(ltu (plus @var{a} @var{b}) @var{b})} is converted to
@code{(ltu (plus @var{a} @var{b}) @var{a})}. Likewise with @code{geu} instead
of @code{ltu}.

@item
@code{(minus @var{x} (const_int @var{n}))} is converted to
@code{(plus @var{x} (const_int @var{-n}))}.

@item
Within address computations (i.e., inside @code{mem}), a left shift is
converted into the appropriate multiplication by a power of two.

@cindex @code{ior}, canonicalization of
@cindex @code{and}, canonicalization of
@cindex De Morgan's law
@item
De Morgan's Law is used to move bitwise negation inside a bitwise
logical-and or logical-or operation.  If this results in only one
operand being a @code{not} expression, it will be the first one.

A machine that has an instruction that performs a bitwise logical-and of one
operand with the bitwise negation of the other should specify the pattern
for that instruction as

@smallexample
(define_insn ""
  [(set (match_operand:@var{m} 0 @dots{})
        (and:@var{m} (not:@var{m} (match_operand:@var{m} 1 @dots{}))
                     (match_operand:@var{m} 2 @dots{})))]
  "@dots{}"
  "@dots{}")
@end smallexample

@noindent
Similarly, a pattern for a ``NAND'' instruction should be written

@smallexample
(define_insn ""
  [(set (match_operand:@var{m} 0 @dots{})
        (ior:@var{m} (not:@var{m} (match_operand:@var{m} 1 @dots{}))
                     (not:@var{m} (match_operand:@var{m} 2 @dots{}))))]
  "@dots{}"
  "@dots{}")
@end smallexample

In both cases, it is not necessary to include patterns for the many
logically equivalent RTL expressions.

@cindex @code{xor}, canonicalization of
@item
The only possible RTL expressions involving both bitwise exclusive-or
and bitwise negation are @code{(xor:@var{m} @var{x} @var{y})}
and @code{(not:@var{m} (xor:@var{m} @var{x} @var{y}))}.

@item
The sum of three items, one of which is a constant, will only appear in
the form

@smallexample
(plus:@var{m} (plus:@var{m} @var{x} @var{y}) @var{constant})
@end smallexample

@cindex @code{zero_extract}, canonicalization of
@cindex @code{sign_extract}, canonicalization of
@item
Equality comparisons of a group of bits (usually a single bit) with zero
will be written using @code{zero_extract} rather than the equivalent
@code{and} or @code{sign_extract} operations.

@cindex @code{mult}, canonicalization of
@item
@code{(sign_extend:@var{m1} (mult:@var{m2} (sign_extend:@var{m2} @var{x})
(sign_extend:@var{m2} @var{y})))} is converted to @code{(mult:@var{m1}
(sign_extend:@var{m1} @var{x}) (sign_extend:@var{m1} @var{y}))}, and likewise
for @code{zero_extend}.

@item
@code{(sign_extend:@var{m1} (mult:@var{m2} (ashiftrt:@var{m2}
@var{x} @var{s}) (sign_extend:@var{m2} @var{y})))} is converted
to @code{(mult:@var{m1} (sign_extend:@var{m1} (ashiftrt:@var{m2}
@var{x} @var{s})) (sign_extend:@var{m1} @var{y}))}, and likewise for
patterns using @code{zero_extend} and @code{lshiftrt}.  If the second
operand of @code{mult} is also a shift, then that is extended also.
This transformation is only applied when it can be proven that the
original operation had sufficient precision to prevent overflow.

@node Expander Definitions
@section Defining RTL Sequences for Code Generation
@cindex expander definitions
@cindex code generation RTL sequences
@cindex defining RTL sequences for code generation

On some target machines, some standard pattern names for RTL generation
cannot be handled with single insn, but a sequence of RTL insns can
represent them.  For these target machines, you can write a
@code{define_expand} to specify how to generate the sequence of RTL@.

@findex define_expand
A @code{define_expand} is an RTL expression that looks almost like a
@code{define_insn}; but, unlike the latter, a @code{define_expand} is used
only for RTL generation and it can produce more than one RTL insn.

A @code{define_expand} RTX has four operands:

@itemize @bullet
@item
The name.  Each @code{define_expand} must have a name, since the only
use for it is to refer to it by name.

@item
The RTL template.  This is a vector of RTL expressions representing
a sequence of separate instructions.  Unlike @code{define_insn}, there
is no implicit surrounding @code{PARALLEL}.

@item
The condition, a string containing a C expression.  This expression is
used to express how the availability of this pattern depends on
subclasses of target machine, selected by command-line options when GCC
is run.  This is just like the condition of a @code{define_insn} that
has a standard name.  Therefore, the condition (if present) may not
depend on the data in the insn being matched, but only the
target-machine-type flags.  The compiler needs to test these conditions
during initialization in order to learn exactly which named instructions
are available in a particular run.

@item
The preparation statements, a string containing zero or more C
statements which are to be executed before RTL code is generated from
the RTL template.

Usually these statements prepare temporary registers for use as
internal operands in the RTL template, but they can also generate RTL
insns directly by calling routines such as @code{emit_insn}, etc.
Any such insns precede the ones that come from the RTL template.

@item
Optionally, a vector containing the values of attributes. @xref{Insn
Attributes}.
@end itemize

Every RTL insn emitted by a @code{define_expand} must match some
@code{define_insn} in the machine description.  Otherwise, the compiler
will crash when trying to generate code for the insn or trying to optimize
it.

The RTL template, in addition to controlling generation of RTL insns,
also describes the operands that need to be specified when this pattern
is used.  In particular, it gives a predicate for each operand.

A true operand, which needs to be specified in order to generate RTL from
the pattern, should be described with a @code{match_operand} in its first
occurrence in the RTL template.  This enters information on the operand's
predicate into the tables that record such things.  GCC uses the
information to preload the operand into a register if that is required for
valid RTL code.  If the operand is referred to more than once, subsequent
references should use @code{match_dup}.

The RTL template may also refer to internal ``operands'' which are
temporary registers or labels used only within the sequence made by the
@code{define_expand}.  Internal operands are substituted into the RTL
template with @code{match_dup}, never with @code{match_operand}.  The
values of the internal operands are not passed in as arguments by the
compiler when it requests use of this pattern.  Instead, they are computed
within the pattern, in the preparation statements.  These statements
compute the values and store them into the appropriate elements of
@code{operands} so that @code{match_dup} can find them.

There are two special macros defined for use in the preparation statements:
@code{DONE} and @code{FAIL}.  Use them with a following semicolon,
as a statement.

@table @code

@findex DONE
@item DONE
Use the @code{DONE} macro to end RTL generation for the pattern.  The
only RTL insns resulting from the pattern on this occasion will be
those already emitted by explicit calls to @code{emit_insn} within the
preparation statements; the RTL template will not be generated.

@findex FAIL
@item FAIL
Make the pattern fail on this occasion.  When a pattern fails, it means
that the pattern was not truly available.  The calling routines in the
compiler will try other strategies for code generation using other patterns.

Failure is currently supported only for binary (addition, multiplication,
shifting, etc.) and bit-field (@code{extv}, @code{extzv}, and @code{insv})
operations.
@end table

If the preparation falls through (invokes neither @code{DONE} nor
@code{FAIL}), then the @code{define_expand} acts like a
@code{define_insn} in that the RTL template is used to generate the
insn.

The RTL template is not used for matching, only for generating the
initial insn list.  If the preparation statement always invokes
@code{DONE} or @code{FAIL}, the RTL template may be reduced to a simple
list of operands, such as this example:

@smallexample
@group
(define_expand "addsi3"
  [(match_operand:SI 0 "register_operand" "")
   (match_operand:SI 1 "register_operand" "")
   (match_operand:SI 2 "register_operand" "")]
  ""
  "
@{
  handle_add (operands[0], operands[1], operands[2]);
  DONE;
@}")
@end group
@end smallexample

Here is an example, the definition of left-shift for the SPUR chip:

@smallexample
@group
(define_expand "ashlsi3"
  [(set (match_operand:SI 0 "register_operand" "")
        (ashift:SI
          (match_operand:SI 1 "register_operand" "")
          (match_operand:SI 2 "nonmemory_operand" "")))]
  ""
  "
@{
  if (GET_CODE (operands[2]) != CONST_INT
      || (unsigned) INTVAL (operands[2]) > 3)
    FAIL;
@}")
@end group
@end smallexample

@noindent
This example uses @code{define_expand} so that it can generate an RTL insn
for shifting when the shift-count is in the supported range of 0 to 3 but
fail in other cases where machine insns aren't available.  When it fails,
the compiler tries another strategy using different patterns (such as, a
library call).

If the compiler were able to handle nontrivial condition-strings in
patterns with names, then it would be possible to use a
@code{define_insn} in that case.  Here is another case (zero-extension

@noindent
@findex make_safe_from
Here two RTL insns are generated, one to clear the entire output operand
and the other to copy the input operand into its low half.  This sequence
is incorrect if the input operand refers to [the old value of] the output
operand, so the preparation statement makes sure this isn't so.  The
function @code{make_safe_from} copies the @code{operands[1]} into a
temporary register if it refers to @code{operands[0]}.  It does this
by emitting another RTL insn.

Finally, a third example shows the use of an internal operand.
Zero-extension on the SPUR chip is done by @code{and}-ing the result
against a halfword mask.  But this mask cannot be represented by a
@code{const_int} because the constant value is too large to be legitimate
on this machine.  So it must be copied into a register with
@code{force_reg} and then the register used in the @code{and}.

@smallexample
(define_expand "zero_extendhisi2"
  [(set (match_operand:SI 0 "register_operand" "")

@emph{Note:} If the @code{define_expand} is used to serve a
standard binary or unary arithmetic operation or a bit-field operation,
then the last insn it generates must not be a @code{code_label},
@code{barrier} or @code{note}.  It must be an @code{insn},
@code{jump_insn} or @code{call_insn}.  If you don't need a real insn
at the end, emit an insn to copy the result of the operation into
itself.  Such an insn will generate no code, but it can avoid problems
in the compiler.

@node Insn Splitting
@section Defining How to Split Instructions
@cindex insn splitting
@cindex instruction splitting
@cindex splitting instructions

There are two cases where you should specify how to split a pattern
into multiple insns.  On machines that have instructions requiring
delay slots (@pxref{Delay Slots}) or that have instructions whose
output is not available for multiple cycles (@pxref{Processor pipeline
description}), the compiler phases that optimize these cases need to
be able to move insns into one-instruction delay slots.  However, some
insns may generate more than one machine instruction.  These insns
cannot be placed into a delay slot.

Often you can rewrite the single insn as a list of individual insns,
each corresponding to one machine instruction.  The disadvantage of
doing so is that it will cause the compilation to be slower and require
more space.  If the resulting insns are too complex, it may also
suppress some optimizations.  The compiler splits the insn if there is a
reason to believe that it might improve instruction or delay slot
scheduling.

The insn combiner phase also splits putative insns.  If three insns are
merged into one insn with a complex expression that cannot be matched by
some @code{define_insn} pattern, the combiner phase attempts to split
the complex pattern into two insns that are recognized.  Usually it can
break the complex pattern into two patterns by splitting out some
subexpression.  However, in some other cases, such as performing an
addition of a large constant in two insns on a RISC machine, the way to
split the addition into two insns is machine-dependent.

@findex define_split
The @code{define_split} definition tells the compiler how to split a
complex insn into several simpler insns.  It looks like this:

@smallexample
(define_split
  [@var{insn-pattern}]
  "@var{condition}"
  [@var{new-insn-pattern-1}
   @var{new-insn-pattern-2}
   @dots{}]
  "@var{preparation-statements}")
@end smallexample

@var{insn-pattern} is a pattern that needs to be split and
@var{condition} is the final condition to be tested, as in a
@code{define_insn}.  When an insn matching @var{insn-pattern} and
satisfying @var{condition} is found, it is replaced in the insn list
with the insns given by @var{new-insn-pattern-1},
@var{new-insn-pattern-2}, etc.

The @var{preparation-statements} are similar to those statements that
are specified for @code{define_expand} (@pxref{Expander Definitions})
and are executed before the new RTL is generated to prepare for the
generated code or emit some insns whose pattern is not fixed.  Unlike
those in @code{define_expand}, however, these statements must not
generate any new pseudo-registers.  Once reload has completed, they also
must not allocate any space in the stack frame.

There are two special macros defined for use in the preparation statements:
@code{DONE} and @code{FAIL}.  Use them with a following semicolon,
as a statement.

@table @code

@findex DONE
@item DONE
Use the @code{DONE} macro to end RTL generation for the splitter.  The
only RTL insns generated as replacement for the matched input insn will
be those already emitted by explicit calls to @code{emit_insn} within
the preparation statements; the replacement pattern is not used.

@findex FAIL
@item FAIL
Make the @code{define_split} fail on this occasion.  When a @code{define_split}
fails, it means that the splitter was not truly available for the inputs
it was given, and the input insn will not be split.
@end table

If the preparation falls through (invokes neither @code{DONE} nor
@code{FAIL}), then the @code{define_split} uses the replacement
template.

Patterns are matched against @var{insn-pattern} in two different
circumstances.  If an insn needs to be split for delay slot scheduling
or insn scheduling, the insn is already known to be valid, which means
that it must have been matched by some @code{define_insn} and, if
@code{reload_completed} is nonzero, is known to satisfy the constraints
of that @code{define_insn}.  In that case, the new insn patterns must
also be insns that are matched by some @code{define_insn} and, if
@code{reload_completed} is nonzero, must also satisfy the constraints
of those definitions.

As an example of this usage of @code{define_split}, consider the following
example from @file{a29k.md}, which splits a @code{sign_extend} from
@code{HImode} to @code{SImode} into a pair of shift insns:

@smallexample
(define_split
  [(set (match_operand:SI 0 "gen_reg_operand" "")
        (sign_extend:SI (match_operand:HI 1 "gen_reg_operand" "")))]
  ""
  [(set (match_dup 0)
        (ashift:SI (match_dup 1)
                   (const_int 16)))
   (set (match_dup 0)
        (ashiftrt:SI (match_dup 0)
                     (const_int 16)))]
  "
@{ operands[1] = gen_lowpart (SImode, operands[1]); @}")
@end smallexample

When the combiner phase tries to split an insn pattern, it is always the
case that the pattern is @emph{not} matched by any @code{define_insn}.
The combiner pass first tries to split a single @code{set} expression
and then the same @code{set} expression inside a @code{parallel}, but
followed by a @code{clobber} of a pseudo-reg to use as a scratch
register.  In these cases, the combiner expects exactly one or two new insn
patterns to be generated.  It will verify that these patterns match some
@code{define_insn} definitions, so you need not do this test in the
@code{define_split} (of course, there is no point in writing a
@code{define_split} that will never produce insns that match).

Here is an example of this use of @code{define_split}, taken from
@file{rs6000.md}:

@smallexample
(define_split
  [(set (match_operand:SI 0 "gen_reg_operand" "")
        (plus:SI (match_operand:SI 1 "gen_reg_operand" "")
                 (match_operand:SI 2 "non_add_cint_operand" "")))]
  ""
  [(set (match_dup 0) (plus:SI (match_dup 1) (match_dup 3)))
   (set (match_dup 0) (plus:SI (match_dup 0) (match_dup 4)))]
"
@{
  int low = INTVAL (operands[2]) & 0xffff;
  int high = (unsigned) INTVAL (operands[2]) >> 16;

  if (low & 0x8000)
    high++, low |= 0xffff0000;

  operands[3] = GEN_INT (high << 16);
  operands[4] = GEN_INT (low);
@}")
@end smallexample

Here the predicate @code{non_add_cint_operand} matches any
@code{const_int} that is @emph{not} a valid operand of a single add
insn.  The add with the smaller displacement is written so that it
can be substituted into the address of a subsequent operation.

An example that uses a scratch register, from the same file, generates
an equality comparison of a register and a large constant:

@smallexample
(define_split
  [(set (match_operand:CC 0 "cc_reg_operand" "")
        (compare:CC (match_operand:SI 1 "gen_reg_operand" "")
                    (match_operand:SI 2 "non_short_cint_operand" "")))
   (clobber (match_operand:SI 3 "gen_reg_operand" ""))]
  "find_single_use (operands[0], insn, 0)
   && (GET_CODE (*find_single_use (operands[0], insn, 0)) == EQ
       || GET_CODE (*find_single_use (operands[0], insn, 0)) == NE)"
  [(set (match_dup 3) (xor:SI (match_dup 1) (match_dup 4)))
   (set (match_dup 0) (compare:CC (match_dup 3) (match_dup 5)))]
  "
@{
  /* @r{Get the constant we are comparing against, C, and see what it
     looks like sign-extended to 16 bits.  Then see what constant
     could be XOR'ed with C to get the sign-extended value.}  */

  int c = INTVAL (operands[2]);
  int sextc = (c << 16) >> 16;
  int xorv = c ^ sextc;

  operands[4] = GEN_INT (xorv);
  operands[5] = GEN_INT (sextc);
@}")
@end smallexample

To avoid confusion, don't write a single @code{define_split} that
accepts some insns that match some @code{define_insn} as well as some
insns that don't.  Instead, write two separate @code{define_split}
definitions, one for the insns that are valid and one for the insns that
are not valid.

The splitter is allowed to split jump instructions into a sequence of jumps or
create new jumps while splitting non-jump instructions.  As the control flow
graph and branch prediction information needs to be updated after the splitter
runs, several restrictions apply.

Splitting of a jump instruction into a sequence that has another jump
instruction to the same label is always valid, as the compiler expects
identical behavior of the new jump.  When the new sequence contains multiple
jump instructions or new labels, more assistance is needed.  The splitter is
permitted to create only unconditional jumps, or simple conditional jump
instructions.  Additionally it must attach a @code{REG_BR_PROB} note to each
conditional jump.  A global variable @code{split_branch_probability} holds the
probability of the original branch in case it was a simple conditional jump,
@minus{}1 otherwise.  To simplify recomputing of edge frequencies, the new
sequence is permitted to have only forward jumps to the newly-created labels.

@findex define_insn_and_split
For the common case where the pattern of a define_split exactly matches the
pattern of a define_insn, use @code{define_insn_and_split}.  It looks like
this:

@smallexample
(define_insn_and_split
  [@var{insn-pattern}]
  "@var{condition}"
  "@var{output-template}"
  "@var{split-condition}"
  [@var{new-insn-pattern-1}
   @var{new-insn-pattern-2}
   @dots{}]
  "@var{preparation-statements}"
  [@var{insn-attributes}])

@end smallexample

@var{insn-pattern}, @var{condition}, @var{output-template}, and
@var{insn-attributes} are used as in @code{define_insn}.  The
@var{new-insn-pattern} vector and the @var{preparation-statements} are used as
in a @code{define_split}.  The @var{split-condition} is also used as in
@code{define_split}, with the additional behavior that if the condition starts
with @samp{&&}, the condition used for the split will be the constructed as a
logical ``and'' of the split condition with the insn condition.  For example,
from i386.md:

@smallexample
(define_insn_and_split "zero_extendhisi2_and"
  [(set (match_operand:SI 0 "register_operand" "=r")
     (zero_extend:SI (match_operand:HI 1 "register_operand" "0")))
   (clobber (reg:CC 17))]
  "TARGET_ZERO_EXTEND_WITH_AND && !optimize_size"
  "#"
  "&& reload_completed"
  [(parallel [(set (match_dup 0)
                   (and:SI (match_dup 0) (const_int 65535)))
              (clobber (reg:CC 17))])]
  ""
  [(set_attr "type" "alu1")])

@end smallexample

In this case, the actual split condition will be
@samp{TARGET_ZERO_EXTEND_WITH_AND && !optimize_size && reload_completed}.

The @code{define_insn_and_split} construction provides exactly the same
functionality as two separate @code{define_insn} and @code{define_split}
patterns.  It exists for compactness, and as a maintenance tool to prevent
having to ensure the two patterns' templates match.

@findex define_insn_and_rewrite
It is sometimes useful to have a @code{define_insn_and_split}
that replaces specific operands of an instruction but leaves the
rest of the instruction pattern unchanged.  You can do this directly
with a @code{define_insn_and_split}, but it requires a
@var{new-insn-pattern-1} that repeats most of the original @var{insn-pattern}.
There is also the complication that an implicit @code{parallel} in
@var{insn-pattern} must become an explicit @code{parallel} in
@var{new-insn-pattern-1}, which is easy to overlook.
A simpler alternative is to use @code{define_insn_and_rewrite}, which
is a form of @code{define_insn_and_split} that automatically generates
@var{new-insn-pattern-1} by replacing each @code{match_operand}
in @var{insn-pattern} with a corresponding @code{match_dup}, and each
@code{match_operator} in the pattern with a corresponding @code{match_op_dup}.
The arguments are otherwise identical to @code{define_insn_and_split}:

@smallexample
(define_insn_and_rewrite
  [@var{insn-pattern}]
  "@var{condition}"
  "@var{output-template}"
  "@var{split-condition}"
  "@var{preparation-statements}"
  [@var{insn-attributes}])
@end smallexample

The @code{match_dup}s and @code{match_op_dup}s in the new
instruction pattern use any new operand values that the
@var{preparation-statements} store in the @code{operands} array,
as for a normal @code{define_insn_and_split}.  @var{preparation-statements}
can also emit additional instructions before the new instruction.
They can even emit an entirely different sequence of instructions and
use @code{DONE} to avoid emitting a new form of the original
instruction.

The split in a @code{define_insn_and_rewrite} is only intended
to apply to existing instructions that match @var{insn-pattern}.
@var{split-condition} must therefore start with @code{&&},
so that the split condition applies on top of @var{condition}.

Here is an example from the AArch64 SVE port, in which operand 1 is
known to be equivalent to an all-true constant and isn't used by the
output template:

@smallexample
(define_insn_and_rewrite "*while_ult<GPI:mode><PRED_ALL:mode>_cc"
  [(set (reg:CC CC_REGNUM)
        (compare:CC
          (unspec:SI [(match_operand:PRED_ALL 1)
                      (unspec:PRED_ALL
                        [(match_operand:GPI 2 "aarch64_reg_or_zero" "rZ")
                         (match_operand:GPI 3 "aarch64_reg_or_zero" "rZ")]
                        UNSPEC_WHILE_LO)]
                     UNSPEC_PTEST_PTRUE)
          (const_int 0)))
   (set (match_operand:PRED_ALL 0 "register_operand" "=Upa")
        (unspec:PRED_ALL [(match_dup 2)
                          (match_dup 3)]
                         UNSPEC_WHILE_LO))]
  "TARGET_SVE"
  "whilelo\t%0.<PRED_ALL:Vetype>, %<w>2, %<w>3"
  ;; Force the compiler to drop the unused predicate operand, so that we
  ;; don't have an unnecessary PTRUE.
  "&& !CONSTANT_P (operands[1])"
  @{
    operands[1] = CONSTM1_RTX (<MODE>mode);
  @}
)
@end smallexample

The splitter in this case simply replaces operand 1 with the constant
value that it is known to have.  The equivalent @code{define_insn_and_split}
would be:

@smallexample
(define_insn_and_split "*while_ult<GPI:mode><PRED_ALL:mode>_cc"
  [(set (reg:CC CC_REGNUM)
        (compare:CC

                        UNSPEC_WHILE_LO)]

The @code{include} pattern tells the compiler tools where to
look for patterns that are in files other than in the file
@file{.md}.  This is used only at build time and there is no preprocessing allowed.

It looks like:

@smallexample

(include @var{pathname})
@end smallexample

For example:

@smallexample

(include "filestuff")

@end smallexample

Where @var{pathname} is a string that specifies the location of the file,
specifies the include file to be in @file{gcc/config/target/filestuff}.  The
directory @file{gcc/config/target} is regarded as the default directory.


Machine descriptions may be split up into smaller more manageable subsections
and placed into subdirectories.

By specifying:

@smallexample

(include "BOGUS/filestuff")

@end smallexample

the include file is specified to be in @file{gcc/config/@var{target}/BOGUS/filestuff}.

Specifying an absolute path for the include file such as;
@smallexample

(include "/u2/BOGUS/filestuff")

@end smallexample

@subsection RTL Generation Tool Options for Directory Search
@cindex directory options .md

For example:

@smallexample

@end smallexample


Add the directory @var{dir} to the head of the list of directories to be
searched for header files.  This can be used to override a system machine definition
file, substituting your own version, since these directories are
searched before the default machine description file directories.  If you use more than

@section Machine-Specific Peephole Optimizers
@cindex peephole optimizer definitions
@cindex defining peephole optimizers

In addition to instruction patterns the @file{md} file may contain
definitions of machine-specific peephole optimizations.

The combiner does not notice certain peephole optimizations when the data
flow in the program does not suggest that it should try them.  For example,
sometimes two consecutive insns related in purpose can be combined even
though the second one does not appear to use a register computed in the
first one.  A machine-specific peephole optimizer can detect such
opportunities.

There are two forms of peephole definitions that may be used.  The
original @code{define_peephole} is run at assembly output time to
match insns and substitute assembly text.  Use of @code{define_peephole}
is deprecated.

A newer @code{define_peephole2} matches insns and substitutes new
insns.  The @code{peephole2} pass is run after register allocation
but before scheduling, which may result in much better code for
targets that do scheduling.

  "@var{condition}"
  "@var{template}"
  "@var{optional-insn-attributes}")
@end smallexample

@noindent
The last string operand may be omitted if you are not using any
machine-specific information in this machine description.  If present,
it must obey the same rules as in a @code{define_insn}.

In this skeleton, @var{insn-pattern-1} and so on are patterns to match
consecutive insns.  The optimization applies to a sequence of insns when
@var{insn-pattern-1} matches the first one, @var{insn-pattern-2} matches
the next, and so on.

Each of the insns matched by a peephole must also match a
@code{define_insn}.  Peepholes are checked only at the last stage just
before code generation, and only optionally.  Therefore, any insn which
would match a peephole but no @code{define_insn} will cause a crash in code
generation in an unoptimized compilation, or at various optimization
stages.

The operands of the insns are matched with @code{match_operands},
@code{match_operator}, and @code{match_dup}, as usual.  What is not
usual is that the operand numbers apply to all the insn patterns in the
definition.  So, you can check for identical operands in two insns by
using @code{match_operand} in one insn and @code{match_dup} in the
other.

The operand constraints used in @code{match_operand} patterns do not have
any direct effect on the applicability of the peephole, but they will
be validated afterward, so make sure your constraints are general enough
to apply whenever the peephole matches.  If the peephole matches
but the constraints are not satisfied, the compiler will crash.

It is safe to omit constraints in all the operands of the peephole; or
you can write constraints which serve as a double-check on the criteria
previously tested.

Once a sequence of insns matches the patterns, the @var{condition} is
checked.  This is a C expression which makes the final decision whether to
perform the optimization (we do so if the expression is nonzero).  If
@var{condition} is omitted (in other words, the string is empty) then the
optimization is applied to every sequence of insns that matches the
patterns.

The defined peephole optimizations are applied after register allocation
is complete.  Therefore, the peephole definition can check which
operands have ended up in which kinds of registers, just by looking at
the operands.

@findex prev_active_insn
The way to refer to the operands in @var{condition} is to write
@code{operands[@var{i}]} for operand number @var{i} (as matched by
@code{(match_operand @var{i} @dots{})}).  Use the variable @code{insn}
to refer to the last of the insns being matched; use
@code{prev_active_insn} to find the preceding insns.

@findex dead_or_set_p
When optimizing computations with intermediate results, you can use
@var{condition} to match only when the intermediate results are not used
elsewhere.  Use the C expression @code{dead_or_set_p (@var{insn},
@var{op})}, where @var{insn} is the insn in which you expect the value
to be used for the last time (from the value of @code{insn}, together
with use of @code{prev_nonnote_insn}), and @var{op} is the intermediate
value (from @code{operands[@var{i}]}).

Applying the optimization means replacing the sequence of insns with one
new insn.  The @var{template} controls ultimate output of assembler code
for this combined insn.  It works exactly like the template of a
@code{define_insn}.  Operand numbers in this template are the same ones
used in matching the original sequence of insns.

The result of a defined peephole optimizer does not need to match any of
the insn patterns in the machine description; it does not even have an
opportunity to match them.  The peephole optimizer definition itself serves
as the insn pattern to control how the insn is output.

Defined peephole optimizers are run as assembler code is being output,
so the insns they produce are never combined or rearranged in any way.

Here is an example, taken from the 68000 machine description:

@smallexample
(define_peephole
  [(set (reg:SI 15) (plus:SI (reg:SI 15) (const_int 4)))
   (set (match_operand:DF 0 "register_operand" "=f")
        (match_operand:DF 1 "register_operand" "ad"))]
  "FP_REG_P (operands[0]) && ! FP_REG_P (operands[1])"
@{
  rtx xoperands[2];
  xoperands[1] = gen_rtx_REG (SImode, REGNO (operands[1]) + 1);
#ifdef MOTOROLA
  output_asm_insn ("move.l %1,(sp)", xoperands);
  output_asm_insn ("move.l %1,-(sp)", operands);
  return "fmove.d (sp)+,%0";
#else
  output_asm_insn ("movel %1,sp@@", xoperands);
  output_asm_insn ("movel %1,sp@@-", operands);
  return "fmoved sp@@+,%0";
#endif

@findex CC_REVERSED
If a peephole matches a sequence including one or more jump insns, you must
take account of the flags such as @code{CC_REVERSED} which specify that the
condition codes are represented in an unusual manner.  The compiler
automatically alters any ordinary conditional jumps which occur in such
situations, but the compiler cannot alter jumps which have been replaced by
peephole optimizations.  So it is up to you to alter the assembler code
that the peephole produces.  Supply C code to write the assembler output,
and in this C code check the condition code status flags and change the
assembler code as appropriate.
@end ignore

@var{insn-pattern-1} and so on look @emph{almost} like the second
operand of @code{define_insn}.  There is one important difference: the
second operand of @code{define_insn} consists of one or more RTX's
enclosed in square brackets.  Usually, there is only one: then the same
action can be written as an element of a @code{define_peephole}.  But
when there are multiple actions in a @code{define_insn}, they are
implicitly enclosed in a @code{parallel}.  Then you must explicitly
write the @code{parallel}, and the square brackets within it, in the
@code{define_peephole}.  Thus, if an insn pattern looks like this,

@smallexample
(define_insn "divmodsi4"
  [(set (match_operand:SI 0 "general_operand" "=d")
        (div:SI (match_operand:SI 1 "general_operand" "0")
                (match_operand:SI 2 "general_operand" "dmsK")))
   (set (match_operand:SI 3 "general_operand" "=d")
        (mod:SI (match_dup 1) (match_dup 2)))]
  "TARGET_68020"
  "divsl%.l %2,%3:%0")
@end smallexample

@noindent
then the way to mention this insn in a peephole is as follows:

@smallexample
(define_peephole
  [@dots{}
   (parallel
    [(set (match_operand:SI 0 "general_operand" "=d")
          (div:SI (match_operand:SI 1 "general_operand" "0")
                  (match_operand:SI 2 "general_operand" "dmsK")))
     (set (match_operand:SI 3 "general_operand" "=d")
          (mod:SI (match_dup 1) (match_dup 2)))])
   @dots{}]
  @dots{})
@end smallexample

@end ifset
@ifset INTERNALS
@node define_peephole2
@subsection RTL to RTL Peephole Optimizers
@findex define_peephole2

The @code{define_peephole2} definition tells the compiler how to
substitute one sequence of instructions for another sequence,
what additional scratch registers may be needed and what their
lifetimes must be.

@smallexample
(define_peephole2
  [@var{insn-pattern-1}
   @var{insn-pattern-2}
   @dots{}]
  "@var{condition}"
  [@var{new-insn-pattern-1}
   @var{new-insn-pattern-2}
   @dots{}]
  "@var{preparation-statements}")
@end smallexample

The definition is almost identical to @code{define_split}
(@pxref{Insn Splitting}) except that the pattern to match is not a
single instruction, but a sequence of instructions.

It is possible to request additional scratch registers for use in the
output template.  If appropriate registers are not free, the pattern
will simply not match.

@findex match_scratch
@findex match_dup
Scratch registers are requested with a @code{match_scratch} pattern at
the top level of the input pattern.  The allocated register (initially) will
be dead at the point requested within the original sequence.  If the scratch
is used at more than a single point, a @code{match_dup} pattern at the
top level of the input pattern marks the last position in the input sequence
at which the register must be available.

Here is an example from the IA-32 machine description:

@smallexample
(define_peephole2
  [(match_scratch:SI 2 "r")
   (parallel [(set (match_operand:SI 0 "register_operand" "")
                   (match_operator:SI 3 "arith_or_logical_operator"
                     [(match_dup 0)
                      (match_operand:SI 1 "memory_operand" "")]))
              (clobber (reg:CC 17))])]
  "! optimize_size && ! TARGET_READ_MODIFY"
  [(set (match_dup 2) (match_dup 1))
   (parallel [(set (match_dup 0)
                   (match_op_dup 3 [(match_dup 0) (match_dup 2)]))
              (clobber (reg:CC 17))])]
  "")
@end smallexample

@noindent
This pattern tries to split a load from its use in the hopes that we'll be
able to schedule around the memory load latency.  It allocates a single
@code{SImode} register of class @code{GENERAL_REGS} (@code{"r"}) that needs
to be live only at the point just before the arithmetic.

A real example requiring extended scratch lifetimes is harder to come by,
so here's a silly made-up example:

@smallexample
(define_peephole2
  [(match_scratch:SI 4 "r")
   (set (match_operand:SI 0 "" "") (match_operand:SI 1 "" ""))
   (set (match_operand:SI 2 "" "") (match_dup 1))
   (match_dup 4)
   (set (match_operand:SI 3 "" "") (match_dup 1))]
  "/* @r{determine 1 does not overlap 0 and 2} */"
  [(set (match_dup 4) (match_dup 1))
   (set (match_dup 0) (match_dup 4))
   (set (match_dup 2) (match_dup 4))
   (set (match_dup 3) (match_dup 4))]
  "")
@end smallexample

@noindent
If we had not added the @code{(match_dup 4)} in the middle of the input
sequence, it might have been the case that the register we chose at the
beginning of the sequence is killed by the first or second @code{set}.

There are two special macros defined for use in the preparation statements:
@code{DONE} and @code{FAIL}.  Use them with a following semicolon,
as a statement.

@table @code

@findex DONE
@item DONE
Use the @code{DONE} macro to end RTL generation for the peephole.  The
only RTL insns generated as replacement for the matched input insn will
be those already emitted by explicit calls to @code{emit_insn} within
the preparation statements; the replacement pattern is not used.

@findex FAIL
@item FAIL
Make the @code{define_peephole2} fail on this occasion.  When a @code{define_peephole2}
fails, it means that the replacement was not truly available for the
particular inputs it was given.  In that case, GCC may still apply a
later @code{define_peephole2} that also matches the given insn pattern.
(Note that this is different from @code{define_split}, where @code{FAIL}
prevents the input insn from being split at all.)
@end table

If the preparation falls through (invokes neither @code{DONE} nor
@code{FAIL}), then the @code{define_peephole2} uses the replacement
template.

Insns are scanned in forward order from beginning to end for each basic
block.  Matches are attempted in order of @code{define_peephole2}
appearance in the @file{md} file.  After a successful replacement,
scanning for further opportunities for @code{define_peephole2}, resumes
with the first generated replacement insn as the first insn to be
matched against all @code{define_peephole2}.  For the example above,
after its successful replacement, the first insn that can be matched by
a @code{define_peephole2} is @code{(set (match_dup 4) (match_dup 1))}.

@node Defining Attributes
@subsection Defining Attributes and their Values
@cindex defining attributes and their values
@cindex attributes, defining

@findex define_attr
The @code{define_attr} expression is used to define each attribute required
by the target machine.  It looks like:

@smallexample
(define_attr @var{name} @var{list-of-values} @var{default})
@end smallexample

@var{name} is a string specifying the name of the attribute being
defined.  Some attributes are used in a special way by the rest of the
compiler. The @code{enabled} attribute can be used to conditionally
enable or disable insn alternatives (@pxref{Disable Insn
Alternatives}). The @code{predicable} attribute, together with a
suitable @code{define_cond_exec} (@pxref{Conditional Execution}), can
be used to automatically generate conditional variants of instruction
patterns. The @code{mnemonic} attribute can be used to check for the
instruction mnemonic (@pxref{Mnemonic Attribute}).  The compiler
internally uses the names @code{ce_enabled} and @code{nonce_enabled},
so they should not be used elsewhere as alternative names.

@var{list-of-values} is either a string that specifies a comma-separated
list of values that can be assigned to the attribute, or a null string to
indicate that the attribute takes numeric values.

@var{default} is an attribute expression that gives the value of this
attribute for insns that match patterns whose definition does not include
an explicit value for this attribute.  @xref{Attr Example}, for more
information on the handling of defaults.  @xref{Constant Attributes},
for information on attributes that do not depend on any particular insn.

@findex insn-attr.h
For each defined attribute, a number of definitions are written to the
@file{insn-attr.h} file.  For cases where an explicit set of values is
specified for an attribute, the following are defined:

@itemize @bullet
@item
A @samp{#define} is written for the symbol @samp{HAVE_ATTR_@var{name}}.

@item
An enumerated class is defined for @samp{attr_@var{name}} with
elements of the form @samp{@var{upper-name}_@var{upper-value}} where
the attribute name and value are first converted to uppercase.

@item
A function @samp{get_attr_@var{name}} is defined that is passed an insn and
returns the attribute value for that insn.
@end itemize

For example, if the following is present in the @file{md} file:

@smallexample
(define_attr "type" "branch,fp,load,store,arith" @dots{})
@end smallexample

@noindent
the following lines will be written to the file @file{insn-attr.h}.

@smallexample
#define HAVE_ATTR_type 1
enum attr_type @{TYPE_BRANCH, TYPE_FP, TYPE_LOAD,
                 TYPE_STORE, TYPE_ARITH@};
extern enum attr_type get_attr_type ();
@end smallexample

If the attribute takes numeric values, no @code{enum} type will be
defined and the function to obtain the attribute's value will return
@code{int}.

There are attributes which are tied to a specific meaning.  These
attributes are not free to use for other purposes:

@table @code
@item length
The @code{length} attribute is used to calculate the length of emitted
code chunks.  This is especially important when verifying branch
distances. @xref{Insn Lengths}.

@item enabled
The @code{enabled} attribute can be defined to prevent certain
alternatives of an insn definition from being used during code
generation. @xref{Disable Insn Alternatives}.

@item mnemonic
The @code{mnemonic} attribute can be defined to implement instruction
specific checks in e.g.@: the pipeline description.
@xref{Mnemonic Attribute}.
@end table

For each of these special attributes, the corresponding
@samp{HAVE_ATTR_@var{name}} @samp{#define} is also written when the
attribute is not defined; in that case, it is defined as @samp{0}.

@findex define_enum_attr
@anchor{define_enum_attr}
Another way of defining an attribute is to use:

@smallexample
(define_enum_attr "@var{attr}" "@var{enum}" @var{default})
@end smallexample

This works in just the same way as @code{define_attr}, except that
the list of values is taken from a separate enumeration called
@var{enum} (@pxref{define_enum}).  This form allows you to use
the same list of values for several attributes without having to
repeat the list each time.  For example:

@smallexample
(define_enum "processor" [
  model_a
  model_b
  @dots{}
])
(define_enum_attr "arch" "processor"
  (const (symbol_ref "target_arch")))
(define_enum_attr "tune" "processor"
  (const (symbol_ref "target_tune")))
@end smallexample

defines the same attributes as:

@smallexample
(define_attr "arch" "model_a,model_b,@dots{}"
  (const (symbol_ref "target_arch")))
(define_attr "tune" "model_a,model_b,@dots{}"
  (const (symbol_ref "target_tune")))
@end smallexample

but without duplicating the processor list.  The second example defines two
separate C enums (@code{attr_arch} and @code{attr_tune}) whereas the first
defines a single C enum (@code{processor}).
@end ifset
@ifset INTERNALS
@node Expressions
@subsection Attribute Expressions
@cindex attribute expressions

RTL expressions used to define attributes use the codes described above
plus a few specific to attribute definitions, to be discussed below.
Attribute value expressions must have one of the following forms:

@table @code
@cindex @code{const_int} and attributes
@item (const_int @var{i})
The integer @var{i} specifies the value of a numeric attribute.  @var{i}
must be non-negative.

The value of a numeric attribute can be specified either with a
@code{const_int}, or as an integer represented as a string in
@code{const_string}, @code{eq_attr} (see below), @code{attr},
@code{symbol_ref}, simple arithmetic expressions, and @code{set_attr}
overrides on specific instructions (@pxref{Tagging Insns}).

@cindex @code{const_string} and attributes
@item (const_string @var{value})
The string @var{value} specifies a constant attribute value.
If @var{value} is specified as @samp{"*"}, it means that the default value of
the attribute is to be used for the insn containing this expression.
@samp{"*"} obviously cannot be used in the @var{default} expression
of a @code{define_attr}.

If the attribute whose value is being specified is numeric, @var{value}
must be a string containing a non-negative integer (normally
@code{const_int} would be used in this case).  Otherwise, it must
contain one of the valid values for the attribute.

@cindex @code{if_then_else} and attributes
@item (if_then_else @var{test} @var{true-value} @var{false-value})
@var{test} specifies an attribute test, whose format is defined below.
The value of this expression is @var{true-value} if @var{test} is true,
otherwise it is @var{false-value}.

@cindex @code{cond} and attributes
@item (cond [@var{test1} @var{value1} @dots{}] @var{default})
The first operand of this expression is a vector containing an even
number of expressions and consisting of pairs of @var{test} and @var{value}
expressions.  The value of the @code{cond} expression is that of the
@var{value} corresponding to the first true @var{test} expression.  If
none of the @var{test} expressions are true, the value of the @code{cond}
expression is that of the @var{default} expression.
@end table

@var{test} expressions can have one of the following forms:

@table @code
@cindex @code{const_int} and attribute tests
@item (const_int @var{i})
This test is true if @var{i} is nonzero and false otherwise.

@cindex @code{not} and attributes
@cindex @code{ior} and attributes
@cindex @code{and} and attributes
@item (not @var{test})
@itemx (ior @var{test1} @var{test2})
@itemx (and @var{test1} @var{test2})
These tests are true if the indicated logical function is true.

@cindex @code{match_operand} and attributes
@item (match_operand:@var{m} @var{n} @var{pred} @var{constraints})
This test is true if operand @var{n} of the insn whose attribute value
is being determined has mode @var{m} (this part of the test is ignored
if @var{m} is @code{VOIDmode}) and the function specified by the string
@var{pred} returns a nonzero value when passed operand @var{n} and mode
@var{m} (this part of the test is ignored if @var{pred} is the null
string).

The @var{constraints} operand is ignored and should be the null string.

@cindex @code{match_test} and attributes
@item (match_test @var{c-expr})
The test is true if C expression @var{c-expr} is true.  In non-constant
attributes, @var{c-expr} has access to the following variables:

@table @var
@item insn
The rtl instruction under test.
@item which_alternative
The @code{define_insn} alternative that @var{insn} matches.
@xref{Output Statement}.
@item operands
An array of @var{insn}'s rtl operands.
@end table

@var{c-expr} behaves like the condition in a C @code{if} statement,
so there is no need to explicitly convert the expression into a boolean
0 or 1 value.  For example, the following two tests are equivalent:

@smallexample
(match_test "x & 2")
(match_test "(x & 2) != 0")
@end smallexample

@cindex @code{le} and attributes
@cindex @code{leu} and attributes
@cindex @code{lt} and attributes
@cindex @code{gt} and attributes
@cindex @code{gtu} and attributes
@cindex @code{ge} and attributes
@cindex @code{geu} and attributes
@cindex @code{ne} and attributes
@cindex @code{eq} and attributes
@cindex @code{plus} and attributes
@cindex @code{minus} and attributes
@cindex @code{mult} and attributes
@cindex @code{div} and attributes
@cindex @code{mod} and attributes
@cindex @code{abs} and attributes
@cindex @code{neg} and attributes
@cindex @code{ashift} and attributes
@cindex @code{lshiftrt} and attributes
@cindex @code{ashiftrt} and attributes
@item (le @var{arith1} @var{arith2})
@itemx (leu @var{arith1} @var{arith2})
@itemx (lt @var{arith1} @var{arith2})
@itemx (ltu @var{arith1} @var{arith2})
@itemx (gt @var{arith1} @var{arith2})
@itemx (gtu @var{arith1} @var{arith2})
@itemx (ge @var{arith1} @var{arith2})
@itemx (geu @var{arith1} @var{arith2})
@itemx (ne @var{arith1} @var{arith2})
@itemx (eq @var{arith1} @var{arith2})
These tests are true if the indicated comparison of the two arithmetic
expressions is true.  Arithmetic expressions are formed with
@code{plus}, @code{minus}, @code{mult}, @code{div}, @code{mod},
@code{abs}, @code{neg}, @code{and}, @code{ior}, @code{xor}, @code{not},
@code{ashift}, @code{lshiftrt}, and @code{ashiftrt} expressions.

@findex get_attr
@code{const_int} and @code{symbol_ref} are always valid terms (@pxref{Insn
Lengths},for additional forms).  @code{symbol_ref} is a string
denoting a C expression that yields an @code{int} when evaluated by the
@samp{get_attr_@dots{}} routine.  It should normally be a global
variable.

@findex eq_attr
@item (eq_attr @var{name} @var{value})
@var{name} is a string specifying the name of an attribute.

@var{value} is a string that is either a valid value for attribute
@var{name}, a comma-separated list of values, or @samp{!} followed by a
value or list.  If @var{value} does not begin with a @samp{!}, this
test is true if the value of the @var{name} attribute of the current
insn is in the list specified by @var{value}.  If @var{value} begins
with a @samp{!}, this test is true if the attribute's value is
@emph{not} in the specified list.

For example,

@smallexample
(eq_attr "type" "load,store")
@end smallexample

@noindent
is equivalent to

@smallexample
(ior (eq_attr "type" "load") (eq_attr "type" "store"))
@end smallexample

If @var{name} specifies an attribute of @samp{alternative}, it refers to the
value of the compiler variable @code{which_alternative}
(@pxref{Output Statement}) and the values must be small integers.  For
example,

@smallexample
(eq_attr "alternative" "2,3")
@end smallexample

@noindent
is equivalent to

@smallexample
(ior (eq (symbol_ref "which_alternative") (const_int 2))
     (eq (symbol_ref "which_alternative") (const_int 3)))
@end smallexample

Note that, for most attributes, an @code{eq_attr} test is simplified in cases
where the value of the attribute being tested is known for all insns matching
a particular pattern.  This is by far the most common case.

@findex attr_flag
@item (attr_flag @var{name})
The value of an @code{attr_flag} expression is true if the flag
specified by @var{name} is true for the @code{insn} currently being
scheduled.

@var{name} is a string specifying one of a fixed set of flags to test.
Test the flags @code{forward} and @code{backward} to determine the
direction of a conditional branch.

This example describes a conditional branch delay slot which
can be nullified for forward branches that are taken (annul-true) or
for backward branches which are not taken (annul-false).

@smallexample
(define_delay (eq_attr "type" "cbranch")
  [(eq_attr "in_branch_delay" "true")
   (and (eq_attr "in_branch_delay" "true")
        (attr_flag "forward"))
   (and (eq_attr "in_branch_delay" "true")
        (attr_flag "backward"))])
@end smallexample

The @code{forward} and @code{backward} flags are false if the current
@code{insn} being scheduled is not a conditional branch.

@code{attr_flag} is only used during delay slot scheduling and has no
meaning to other passes of the compiler.

@findex attr
@item (attr @var{name})
The value of another attribute is returned.  This is most useful
for numeric attributes, as @code{eq_attr} and @code{attr_flag}
produce more efficient code for non-numeric attributes.
@end table

@end ifset
@ifset INTERNALS
@node Tagging Insns
@subsection Assigning Attribute Values to Insns
@cindex tagging insns
@cindex assigning attribute values to insns

The value assigned to an attribute of an insn is primarily determined by
which pattern is matched by that insn (or which @code{define_peephole}
generated it).  Every @code{define_insn} and @code{define_peephole} can
have an optional last argument to specify the values of attributes for
matching insns.  The value of any attribute not specified in a particular
insn is set to the default value for that attribute, as specified in its
@code{define_attr}.  Extensive use of default values for attributes
permits the specification of the values for only one or two attributes
in the definition of most insn patterns, as seen in the example in the
next section.

The optional last argument of @code{define_insn} and
@code{define_peephole} is a vector of expressions, each of which defines
the value for a single attribute.  The most general way of assigning an
attribute's value is to use a @code{set} expression whose first operand is an
@code{attr} expression giving the name of the attribute being set.  The
second operand of the @code{set} is an attribute expression
(@pxref{Expressions}) giving the value of the attribute.

When the attribute value depends on the @samp{alternative} attribute
(i.e., which is the applicable alternative in the constraint of the
insn), the @code{set_attr_alternative} expression can be used.  It
allows the specification of a vector of attribute expressions, one for
each alternative.

@findex set_attr
When the generality of arbitrary attribute expressions is not required,
the simpler @code{set_attr} expression can be used, which allows
specifying a string giving either a single attribute value or a list
of attribute values, one for each alternative.

The form of each of the above specifications is shown below.  In each case,
@var{name} is a string specifying the attribute to be set.

@table @code
@item (set_attr @var{name} @var{value-string})
@var{value-string} is either a string giving the desired attribute value,
or a string containing a comma-separated list giving the values for
succeeding alternatives.  The number of elements must match the number
of alternatives in the constraint of the insn pattern.

Note that it may be useful to specify @samp{*} for some alternative, in
which case the attribute will assume its default value for insns matching
that alternative.

@findex set_attr_alternative
@item (set_attr_alternative @var{name} [@var{value1} @var{value2} @dots{}])
Depending on the alternative of the insn, the value will be one of the
specified values.  This is a shorthand for using a @code{cond} with
tests on the @samp{alternative} attribute.

@findex attr
@item (set (attr @var{name}) @var{value})
The first operand of this @code{set} must be the special RTL expression
@code{attr}, whose sole operand is a string giving the name of the
attribute being set.  @var{value} is the value of the attribute.
@end table

The following shows three different ways of representing the same
attribute value specification:

@smallexample
(set_attr "type" "load,store,arith")

(set_attr_alternative "type"
                      [(const_string "load") (const_string "store")
                       (const_string "arith")])

(set (attr "type")
     (cond [(eq_attr "alternative" "1") (const_string "load")
            (eq_attr "alternative" "2") (const_string "store")]
           (const_string "arith")))
@end smallexample

@need 1000
@findex define_asm_attributes
The @code{define_asm_attributes} expression provides a mechanism to
specify the attributes assigned to insns produced from an @code{asm}
statement.  It has the form:

@smallexample
(define_asm_attributes [@var{attr-sets}])
@end smallexample

@noindent
where @var{attr-sets} is specified the same as for both the
@code{define_insn} and the @code{define_peephole} expressions.

These values will typically be the ``worst case'' attribute values.  For
example, they might indicate that the condition code will be clobbered.

A specification for a @code{length} attribute is handled specially.  The
way to compute the length of an @code{asm} insn is to multiply the
length specified in the expression @code{define_asm_attributes} by the
number of machine instructions specified in the @code{asm} statement,
determined by counting the number of semicolons and newlines in the
string.  Therefore, the value of the @code{length} attribute specified
in a @code{define_asm_attributes} should be the maximum possible length
of a single machine instruction.

@node Attr Example
@subsection Example of Attribute Specifications
@cindex attribute specifications example
@cindex attribute specifications

The judicious use of defaulting is important in the efficient use of
insn attributes.  Typically, insns are divided into @dfn{types} and an
attribute, customarily called @code{type}, is used to represent this
value.  This attribute is normally used only to define the default value
for other attributes.  An example will clarify this usage.

Assume we have a RISC machine with a condition code and in which only
full-word operations are performed in registers.  Let us assume that we
can divide all insns into loads, stores, (integer) arithmetic
operations, floating point operations, and branches.

Here we will concern ourselves with determining the effect of an insn on
the condition code and will limit ourselves to the following possible
effects:  The condition code can be set unpredictably (clobbered), not
be changed, be set to agree with the results of the operation, or only
changed if the item previously set into the condition code has been
modified.

Here is part of a sample @file{md} file for such a machine:

@smallexample
(define_attr "type" "load,store,arith,fp,branch" (const_string "arith"))

(define_attr "cc" "clobber,unchanged,set,change0"
             (cond [(eq_attr "type" "load")
                        (const_string "change0")
                    (eq_attr "type" "store,branch")
                        (const_string "unchanged")
                    (eq_attr "type" "arith")
                        (if_then_else (match_operand:SI 0 "" "")
                                      (const_string "set")
                                      (const_string "clobber"))]
                   (const_string "clobber")))

(define_insn ""
  [(set (match_operand:SI 0 "general_operand" "=r,r,m")
        (match_operand:SI 1 "general_operand" "r,m,r"))]
  ""
  "@@
   move %0,%1
   load %0,%1
   store %0,%1"
  [(set_attr "type" "arith,load,store")])
@end smallexample

Note that we assume in the above example that arithmetic operations
performed on quantities smaller than a machine word clobber the condition
code since they will set the condition code to a value corresponding to the
full-word result.

@end ifset
@ifset INTERNALS
@node Insn Lengths
@subsection Computing the Length of an Insn
@cindex insn lengths, computing
@cindex computing the length of an insn

For many machines, multiple types of branch instructions are provided, each
for different length branch displacements.  In most cases, the assembler
will choose the correct instruction to use.  However, when the assembler
cannot do so, GCC can when a special attribute, the @code{length}
attribute, is defined.  This attribute must be defined to have numeric
values by specifying a null string in its @code{define_attr}.

In the case of the @code{length} attribute, two additional forms of
arithmetic terms are allowed in test expressions:

@table @code
@cindex @code{match_dup} and attributes
@item (match_dup @var{n})
This refers to the address of operand @var{n} of the current insn, which
must be a @code{label_ref}.

@cindex @code{pc} and attributes
@item (pc)
For non-branch instructions and backward branch instructions, this refers
to the address of the current insn.  But for forward branch instructions,
this refers to the address of the next insn, because the length of the
current insn is to be computed.
@end table

@cindex @code{addr_vec}, length of
@cindex @code{addr_diff_vec}, length of
For normal insns, the length will be determined by value of the
@code{length} attribute.  In the case of @code{addr_vec} and
@code{addr_diff_vec} insn patterns, the length is computed as
the number of vectors multiplied by the size of each vector.

Lengths are measured in addressable storage units (bytes).

Note that it is possible to call functions via the @code{symbol_ref}
mechanism to compute the length of an insn.  However, if you use this
mechanism you must provide dummy clauses to express the maximum length
without using the function call.  You can see an example of this in the
@code{pa} machine description for the @code{call_symref} pattern.

The following macros can be used to refine the length computation:

@table @code
@findex ADJUST_INSN_LENGTH
@item ADJUST_INSN_LENGTH (@var{insn}, @var{length})
If defined, modifies the length assigned to instruction @var{insn} as a
function of the context in which it is used.  @var{length} is an lvalue
that contains the initially computed length of the insn and should be
updated with the correct length of the insn.

This macro will normally not be required.  A case in which it is
required is the ROMP@.  On this machine, the size of an @code{addr_vec}
insn must be increased by two to compensate for the fact that alignment
may be required.
@end table

@findex get_attr_length
The routine that returns @code{get_attr_length} (the value of the
@code{length} attribute) can be used by the output routine to
determine the form of the branch instruction to be written, as the
example below illustrates.

As an example of the specification of variable-length branches, consider
the IBM 360.  If we adopt the convention that a register will be set to
the starting address of a function, we can jump to labels within 4k of
the start using a four-byte instruction.  Otherwise, we need a six-byte
sequence to load the address from memory and then branch to it.

On such a machine, a pattern for a branch instruction might be specified
as follows:

@smallexample
(define_insn "jump"
  [(set (pc)
        (label_ref (match_operand 0 "" "")))]
  ""
@{
   return (get_attr_length (insn) == 4
           ? "b %l0" : "l r15,=a(%l0); br r15");
@}
  [(set (attr "length")
        (if_then_else (lt (match_dup 0) (const_int 4096))
                      (const_int 4)
                      (const_int 6)))])
@end smallexample

@end ifset
@ifset INTERNALS
@node Constant Attributes
@subsection Constant Attributes
@cindex constant attributes

A special form of @code{define_attr}, where the expression for the
default value is a @code{const} expression, indicates an attribute that
is constant for a given run of the compiler.  Constant attributes may be
used to specify which variety of processor is used.  For example,

@smallexample
(define_attr "cpu" "m88100,m88110,m88000"
 (const
  (cond [(symbol_ref "TARGET_88100") (const_string "m88100")
         (symbol_ref "TARGET_88110") (const_string "m88110")]
        (const_string "m88000"))))

(define_attr "memory" "fast,slow"
 (const
  (if_then_else (symbol_ref "TARGET_FAST_MEM")
                (const_string "fast")
                (const_string "slow"))))
@end smallexample

The routine generated for constant attributes has no parameters as it
does not depend on any particular insn.  RTL expressions used to define
the value of a constant attribute may use the @code{symbol_ref} form,
but may not use either the @code{match_operand} form or @code{eq_attr}
forms involving insn attributes.

@end ifset
@ifset INTERNALS
@node Mnemonic Attribute
@subsection Mnemonic Attribute
@cindex mnemonic attribute

The @code{mnemonic} attribute is a string type attribute holding the
instruction mnemonic for an insn alternative.  The attribute values
will automatically be generated by the machine description parser if
there is an attribute definition in the md file:

@smallexample
(define_attr "mnemonic" "unknown" (const_string "unknown"))
@end smallexample

The default value can be freely chosen as long as it does not collide
with any of the instruction mnemonics.  This value will be used
whenever the machine description parser is not able to determine the
mnemonic string.  This might be the case for output templates
containing more than a single instruction as in
@code{"mvcle\t%0,%1,0\;jo\t.-4"}.

The @code{mnemonic} attribute set is not generated automatically if the
instruction string is generated via C code.

An existing @code{mnemonic} attribute set in an insn definition will not
be overriden by the md file parser.  That way it is possible to
manually set the instruction mnemonics for the cases where the md file
parser fails to determine it automatically.

The @code{mnemonic} attribute is useful for dealing with instruction
specific properties in the pipeline description without defining
additional insn attributes.

@smallexample
(define_attr "ooo_expanded" ""
  (cond [(eq_attr "mnemonic" "dlr,dsgr,d,dsgf,stam,dsgfr,dlgr")
         (const_int 1)]
        (const_int 0)))

@end ifset
@ifset INTERNALS
@node Delay Slots
@subsection Delay Slot Scheduling
@cindex delay slots, defining

The insn attribute mechanism can be used to specify the requirements for
delay slots, if any, on a target machine.  An instruction is said to
require a @dfn{delay slot} if some instructions that are physically
after the instruction are executed as if they were located before it.
Classic examples are branch and call instructions, which often execute
the following instruction before the branch or call is performed.

On some machines, conditional branch instructions can optionally
@dfn{annul} instructions in the delay slot.  This means that the
instruction will not be executed for certain branch outcomes.  Both
instructions that annul if the branch is true and instructions that
annul if the branch is false are supported.

Delay slot scheduling differs from instruction scheduling in that
determining whether an instruction needs a delay slot is dependent only
on the type of instruction being generated, not on data flow between the
instructions.  See the next section for a discussion of data-dependent
instruction scheduling.

@findex define_delay
The requirement of an insn needing one or more delay slots is indicated
via the @code{define_delay} expression.  It has the following form:

@smallexample
(define_delay @var{test}
              [@var{delay-1} @var{annul-true-1} @var{annul-false-1}
               @var{delay-2} @var{annul-true-2} @var{annul-false-2}
               @dots{}])
@end smallexample

@var{test} is an attribute test that indicates whether this
@code{define_delay} applies to a particular insn.  If so, the number of
required delay slots is determined by the length of the vector specified
as the second argument.  An insn placed in delay slot @var{n} must
satisfy attribute test @var{delay-n}.  @var{annul-true-n} is an
attribute test that specifies which insns may be annulled if the branch
is true.  Similarly, @var{annul-false-n} specifies which insns in the
delay slot may be annulled if the branch is false.  If annulling is not
supported for that delay slot, @code{(nil)} should be coded.

For example, in the common case where branch and call insns require
a single delay slot, which may contain any insn other than a branch or
call, the following would be placed in the @file{md} file:

@smallexample
(define_delay (eq_attr "type" "branch,call")
              [(eq_attr "type" "!branch,call") (nil) (nil)])
@end smallexample

Multiple @code{define_delay} expressions may be specified.  In this
case, each such expression specifies different delay slot requirements
and there must be no insn for which tests in two @code{define_delay}
expressions are both true.

For example, if we have a machine that requires one delay slot for branches
but two for calls,  no delay slot can contain a branch or call insn,
and any valid insn in the delay slot for the branch can be annulled if the
branch is true, we might represent this as follows:

@smallexample
(define_delay (eq_attr "type" "branch")
   [(eq_attr "type" "!branch,call")
    (eq_attr "type" "!branch,call")
    (nil)])

(define_delay (eq_attr "type" "call")
              [(eq_attr "type" "!branch,call") (nil) (nil)
               (eq_attr "type" "!branch,call") (nil) (nil)])

@cindex RISC
@cindex VLIW

To achieve better performance, most modern processors
(super-pipelined, superscalar @acronym{RISC}, and @acronym{VLIW}
processors) have many @dfn{functional units} on which several
instructions can be executed simultaneously.  An instruction starts
execution if its issue conditions are satisfied.  If not, the
instruction is stalled until its conditions are satisfied.  Such
@dfn{interlock (pipeline) delay} causes interruption of the fetching
of successor instructions (or demands nop instructions, e.g.@: for some
MIPS processors).

There are two major kinds of interlock delays in modern processors.
The first one is a data dependence delay determining @dfn{instruction
latency time}.  The instruction execution is not started until all
source data have been evaluated by prior instructions (there are more
complex cases when the instruction execution starts even when the data
are not available but will be ready in given time after the
instruction execution start).  Taking the data dependence delays into
account is simple.  The data dependence (true, output, and
anti-dependence) delay between two instructions is given by a
constant.  In most cases this approach is adequate.  The second kind
of interlock delays is a reservation delay.  The reservation delay
means that two instructions under execution will be in need of shared
processors resources, i.e.@: buses, internal registers, and/or
functional units, which are reserved for some time.  Taking this kind
of delay into account is complex especially for modern @acronym{RISC}
processors.

The task of exploiting more processor parallelism is solved by an
instruction scheduler.  For a better solution to this problem, the
instruction scheduler has to have an adequate description of the
processor parallelism (or @dfn{pipeline description}).  GCC
machine descriptions describe processor parallelism and functional
unit reservations for groups of instructions with the aid of
@dfn{regular expressions}.

The GCC instruction scheduler uses a @dfn{pipeline hazard recognizer} to
figure out the possibility of the instruction issue by the processor
on a given simulated processor cycle.  The pipeline hazard recognizer is
automatically generated from the processor pipeline description.  The
pipeline hazard recognizer generated from the machine description
is based on a deterministic finite state automaton (@acronym{DFA}):
the instruction issue is possible if there is a transition from one
automaton state to another one.  This algorithm is very fast, and
furthermore, its speed is not dependent on processor
complexity@footnote{However, the size of the automaton depends on
processor complexity.  To limit this effect, machine descriptions
can split orthogonal parts of the machine description among several
automata: but then, since each of these must be stepped independently,
this does cause a small decrease in the algorithm's performance.}.

@cindex automaton based pipeline description
The rest of this section describes the directives that constitute
an automaton-based processor pipeline description.  The order of
these constructions within the machine description file is not
important.

@findex define_automaton
@cindex pipeline hazard recognizer
The following optional construction describes names of automata
generated and used for the pipeline hazards recognition.  Sometimes
the generated finite state automaton used by the pipeline hazard
recognizer is large.  If we use more than one automaton and bind functional
units to the automata, the total size of the automata is usually
less than the size of the single automaton.  If there is no one such
construction, only one finite state automaton is generated.

@smallexample
(define_automaton @var{automata-names})
@end smallexample

@var{automata-names} is a string giving names of the automata.  The
names are separated by commas.  All the automata should have unique names.
The automaton name is used in the constructions @code{define_cpu_unit} and
@code{define_query_cpu_unit}.

@findex define_cpu_unit
@cindex processor functional units
Each processor functional unit used in the description of instruction
reservations should be described by the following construction.

@smallexample
(define_cpu_unit @var{unit-names} [@var{automaton-name}])
@end smallexample

@var{unit-names} is a string giving the names of the functional units
separated by commas.  Don't use name @samp{nothing}, it is reserved
for other goals.

@var{automaton-name} is a string giving the name of the automaton with
which the unit is bound.  The automaton should be described in
construction @code{define_automaton}.  You should give
@dfn{automaton-name}, if there is a defined automaton.

The assignment of units to automata are constrained by the uses of the
units in insn reservations.  The most important constraint is: if a
unit reservation is present on a particular cycle of an alternative
for an insn reservation, then some unit from the same automaton must
be present on the same cycle for the other alternatives of the insn
reservation.  The rest of the constraints are mentioned in the
description of the subsequent constructions.

@findex define_query_cpu_unit
@cindex querying function unit reservations
The following construction describes CPU functional units analogously
to @code{define_cpu_unit}.  The reservation of such units can be
queried for an automaton state.  The instruction scheduler never
queries reservation of functional units for given automaton state.  So
as a rule, you don't need this construction.  This construction could
be used for future code generation goals (e.g.@: to generate
@acronym{VLIW} insn templates).

@smallexample
(define_query_cpu_unit @var{unit-names} [@var{automaton-name}])
@end smallexample

@var{unit-names} is a string giving names of the functional units
separated by commas.

@var{automaton-name} is a string giving the name of the automaton with
which the unit is bound.

@findex define_insn_reservation
@cindex instruction latency time
@cindex regular expressions
@cindex data bypass
The following construction is the major one to describe pipeline
characteristics of an instruction.

@smallexample
(define_insn_reservation @var{insn-name} @var{default_latency}
                         @var{condition} @var{regexp})
@end smallexample

@var{default_latency} is a number giving latency time of the
instruction.  There is an important difference between the old
description and the automaton based pipeline description.  The latency
time is used for all dependencies when we use the old description.  In
the automaton based pipeline description, the given latency time is only
used for true dependencies.  The cost of anti-dependencies is always
zero and the cost of output dependencies is the difference between
latency times of the producing and consuming insns (if the difference
is negative, the cost is considered to be zero).  You can always
change the default costs for any description by using the target hook
@code{TARGET_SCHED_ADJUST_COST} (@pxref{Scheduling}).

@var{insn-name} is a string giving the internal name of the insn.  The
internal names are used in constructions @code{define_bypass} and in
the automaton description file generated for debugging.  The internal
name has nothing in common with the names in @code{define_insn}.  It is a
good practice to use insn classes described in the processor manual.

@var{condition} defines what RTL insns are described by this
construction.  You should remember that you will be in trouble if
@var{condition} for two or more different
@code{define_insn_reservation} constructions is TRUE for an insn.  In
this case what reservation will be used for the insn is not defined.
Such cases are not checked during generation of the pipeline hazards
recognizer because in general recognizing that two conditions may have
the same value is quite difficult (especially if the conditions
contain @code{symbol_ref}).  It is also not checked during the
pipeline hazard recognizer work because it would slow down the
recognizer considerably.

@var{regexp} is a string describing the reservation of the cpu's functional
units by the instruction.  The reservations are described by a regular
expression according to the following syntax:

@smallexample
       regexp = regexp "," oneof
              | oneof

       oneof = oneof "|" allof
             | allof

       allof = allof "+" repeat
             | repeat

       repeat = element "*" number
              | element

       element = cpu_function_unit_name
               | reservation_name
               | result_name
               | "nothing"
               | "(" regexp ")"
@end smallexample

@itemize @bullet
@item
@samp{,} is used for describing the start of the next cycle in
the reservation.

@item
@samp{|} is used for describing a reservation described by the first
regular expression @strong{or} a reservation described by the second
regular expression @strong{or} etc.

@item
@samp{+} is used for describing a reservation described by the first
regular expression @strong{and} a reservation described by the
second regular expression @strong{and} etc.

@item
@samp{*} is used for convenience and simply means a sequence in which
the regular expression are repeated @var{number} times with cycle
advancing (see @samp{,}).

@item
@samp{cpu_function_unit_name} denotes reservation of the named
functional unit.

@item
@samp{reservation_name} --- see description of construction
@samp{define_reservation}.

@item
@samp{nothing} denotes no unit reservations.
@end itemize

@findex define_reservation
Sometimes unit reservations for different insns contain common parts.
In such case, you can simplify the pipeline description by describing
the common part by the following construction

@smallexample
(define_reservation @var{reservation-name} @var{regexp})
@end smallexample

@var{reservation-name} is a string giving name of @var{regexp}.
Functional unit names and reservation names are in the same name
space.  So the reservation names should be different from the
functional unit names and cannot be the reserved name @samp{nothing}.

@findex define_bypass
@cindex instruction latency time
@cindex data bypass
The following construction is used to describe exceptions in the
latency time for given instruction pair.  This is so called bypasses.

@smallexample
(define_bypass @var{number} @var{out_insn_names} @var{in_insn_names}
               [@var{guard}])
@end smallexample

@var{number} defines when the result generated by the instructions
given in string @var{out_insn_names} will be ready for the
instructions given in string @var{in_insn_names}.  Each of these
strings is a comma-separated list of filename-style globs and
they refer to the names of @code{define_insn_reservation}s.
For example:
@smallexample
(define_bypass 1 "cpu1_load_*, cpu1_store_*" "cpu1_load_*")
@end smallexample
defines a bypass between instructions that start with
@samp{cpu1_load_} or @samp{cpu1_store_} and those that start with
@samp{cpu1_load_}.

@var{guard} is an optional string giving the name of a C function which
defines an additional guard for the bypass.  The function will get the
two insns as parameters.  If the function returns zero the bypass will
be ignored for this case.  The additional guard is necessary to
recognize complicated bypasses, e.g.@: when the consumer is only an address
of insn @samp{store} (not a stored value).

If there are more one bypass with the same output and input insns, the
chosen bypass is the first bypass with a guard in description whose
guard function returns nonzero.  If there is no such bypass, then
bypass without the guard function is chosen.

@findex exclusion_set
@findex presence_set
@findex final_presence_set
@findex absence_set
@findex final_absence_set
@cindex VLIW
@cindex RISC
The following five constructions are usually used to describe
@acronym{VLIW} processors, or more precisely, to describe a placement
of small instructions into @acronym{VLIW} instruction slots.  They
can be used for @acronym{RISC} processors, too.

@smallexample
(exclusion_set @var{unit-names} @var{unit-names})
(presence_set @var{unit-names} @var{patterns})
(final_presence_set @var{unit-names} @var{patterns})
(absence_set @var{unit-names} @var{patterns})
(final_absence_set @var{unit-names} @var{patterns})
@end smallexample

@var{unit-names} is a string giving names of functional units
separated by commas.

@var{patterns} is a string giving patterns of functional units
separated by comma.  Currently pattern is one unit or units
separated by white-spaces.

The first construction (@samp{exclusion_set}) means that each
functional unit in the first string cannot be reserved simultaneously
with a unit whose name is in the second string and vice versa.  For
example, the construction is useful for describing processors
(e.g.@: some SPARC processors) with a fully pipelined floating point
functional unit which can execute simultaneously only single floating
point insns or only double floating point insns.

The second construction (@samp{presence_set}) means that each
functional unit in the first string cannot be reserved unless at
least one of pattern of units whose names are in the second string is
reserved.  This is an asymmetric relation.  For example, it is useful
for description that @acronym{VLIW} @samp{slot1} is reserved after
@samp{slot0} reservation.  We could describe it by the following
construction

@smallexample
(presence_set "slot1" "slot0")
@end smallexample

Or @samp{slot1} is reserved only after @samp{slot0} and unit @samp{b0}
reservation.  In this case we could write

@smallexample
(presence_set "slot1" "slot0 b0")
@end smallexample

The third construction (@samp{final_presence_set}) is analogous to
@samp{presence_set}.  The difference between them is when checking is
done.  When an instruction is issued in given automaton state
reflecting all current and planned unit reservations, the automaton
state is changed.  The first state is a source state, the second one
is a result state.  Checking for @samp{presence_set} is done on the
source state reservation, checking for @samp{final_presence_set} is
done on the result reservation.  This construction is useful to
describe a reservation which is actually two subsequent reservations.
For example, if we use

@smallexample
(presence_set "slot1" "slot0")
@end smallexample

the following insn will be never issued (because @samp{slot1} requires
@samp{slot0} which is absent in the source state).

@smallexample
(define_reservation "insn_and_nop" "slot0 + slot1")
@end smallexample

but it can be issued if we use analogous @samp{final_presence_set}.

The forth construction (@samp{absence_set}) means that each functional
unit in the first string can be reserved only if each pattern of units
whose names are in the second string is not reserved.  This is an
asymmetric relation (actually @samp{exclusion_set} is analogous to
this one but it is symmetric).  For example it might be useful in a
@acronym{VLIW} description to say that @samp{slot0} cannot be reserved
after either @samp{slot1} or @samp{slot2} have been reserved.  This
can be described as:

@smallexample
(absence_set "slot0" "slot1, slot2")
@end smallexample

Or @samp{slot2} cannot be reserved if @samp{slot0} and unit @samp{b0}
are reserved or @samp{slot1} and unit @samp{b1} are reserved.  In
this case we could write

@smallexample
(absence_set "slot2" "slot0 b0, slot1 b1")
@end smallexample

All functional units mentioned in a set should belong to the same
automaton.

The last construction (@samp{final_absence_set}) is analogous to
@samp{absence_set} but checking is done on the result (state)
reservation.  See comments for @samp{final_presence_set}.

@findex automata_option
@cindex deterministic finite state automaton
@cindex nondeterministic finite state automaton
@cindex finite state automaton minimization
You can control the generator of the pipeline hazard recognizer with
the following construction.

@smallexample
(automata_option @var{options})
@end smallexample

@var{options} is a string giving options which affect the generated
code.  Currently there are the following options:

@itemize @bullet
@item
@dfn{no-minimization} makes no minimization of the automaton.  This is
only worth to do when we are debugging the description and need to
look more accurately at reservations of states.

@item
@dfn{time} means printing time statistics about the generation of
automata.

@item
@dfn{stats} means printing statistics about the generated automata
such as the number of DFA states, NDFA states and arcs.

@item
@dfn{v} means a generation of the file describing the result automata.
The file has suffix @samp{.dfa} and can be used for the description
verification and debugging.

@item
@dfn{w} means a generation of warning instead of error for
non-critical errors.

@item
@dfn{no-comb-vect} prevents the automaton generator from generating
two data structures and comparing them for space efficiency.  Using
a comb vector to represent transitions may be better, but it can be
very expensive to construct.  This option is useful if the build
process spends an unacceptably long time in genautomata.

@item
@dfn{ndfa} makes nondeterministic finite state automata.  This affects
the treatment of operator @samp{|} in the regular expressions.  The
usual treatment of the operator is to try the first alternative and,
if the reservation is not possible, the second alternative.  The
nondeterministic treatment means trying all alternatives, some of them
may be rejected by reservations in the subsequent insns.

@item
@dfn{collapse-ndfa} modifies the behavior of the generator when
producing an automaton.  An additional state transition to collapse a
nondeterministic @acronym{NDFA} state to a deterministic @acronym{DFA}
state is generated.  It can be triggered by passing @code{const0_rtx} to
state_transition.  In such an automaton, cycle advance transitions are
available only for these collapsed states.  This option is useful for
ports that want to use the @code{ndfa} option, but also want to use
@code{define_query_cpu_unit} to assign units to insns issued in a cycle.

@item
@dfn{progress} means output of a progress bar showing how many states
were generated so far for automaton being processed.  This is useful
during debugging a @acronym{DFA} description.  If you see too many
generated states, you could interrupt the generator of the pipeline
hazard recognizer and try to figure out a reason for generation of the
huge automaton.
@end itemize

As an example, consider a superscalar @acronym{RISC} machine which can
issue three insns (two integer insns and one floating point insn) on
the cycle but can finish only two insns.  To describe this, we define
the following functional units.

@smallexample
(define_cpu_unit "i0_pipeline, i1_pipeline, f_pipeline")
(define_cpu_unit "port0, port1")
@end smallexample

All simple integer insns can be executed in any integer pipeline and
their result is ready in two cycles.  The simple integer insns are
issued into the first pipeline unless it is reserved, otherwise they
are issued into the second pipeline.  Integer division and
multiplication insns can be executed only in the second integer
pipeline and their results are ready correspondingly in 9 and 4
cycles.  The integer division is not pipelined, i.e.@: the subsequent
integer division insn cannot be issued until the current division
insn finished.  Floating point insns are fully pipelined and their
results are ready in 3 cycles.  Where the result of a floating point
insn is used by an integer insn, an additional delay of one cycle is
incurred.  To describe all of this we could specify

@smallexample
(define_cpu_unit "div")

(define_insn_reservation "simple" 2 (eq_attr "type" "int")
                         "(i0_pipeline | i1_pipeline), (port0 | port1)")

(define_insn_reservation "mult" 4 (eq_attr "type" "mult")
                         "i1_pipeline, nothing*2, (port0 | port1)")

(define_insn_reservation "div" 9 (eq_attr "type" "div")
                         "i1_pipeline, div*7, div + (port0 | port1)")

(define_insn_reservation "float" 3 (eq_attr "type" "float")
                         "f_pipeline, nothing, (port0 | port1))

(define_bypass 4 "float" "simple,mult,div")
@end smallexample

To simplify the description we could describe the following reservation

@smallexample
(define_reservation "finish" "port0|port1")
@end smallexample

and use it in all @code{define_insn_reservation} as in the following
construction

@smallexample
(define_insn_reservation "simple" 2 (eq_attr "type" "int")
                         "(i0_pipeline | i1_pipeline), finish")
@end smallexample

@node Conditional Execution
@section Conditional Execution
@cindex conditional execution
@cindex predication

A number of architectures provide for some form of conditional
execution, or predication.  The hallmark of this feature is the
ability to nullify most of the instructions in the instruction set.
When the instruction set is large and not entirely symmetric, it
can be quite tedious to describe these forms directly in the
@file{.md} file.  An alternative is the @code{define_cond_exec} template.

@findex define_cond_exec
@smallexample
(define_cond_exec
  [@var{predicate-pattern}]
  "@var{condition}"
  "@var{output-template}"
  "@var{optional-insn-attribues}")
@end smallexample

@var{predicate-pattern} is the condition that must be true for the
insn to be executed at runtime and should match a relational operator.
One can use @code{match_operator} to match several relational operators
at once.  Any @code{match_operand} operands must have no more than one
alternative.

@var{condition} is a C expression that must be true for the generated
pattern to match.

@findex current_insn_predicate
@var{output-template} is a string similar to the @code{define_insn}
output template (@pxref{Output Template}), except that the @samp{*}
and @samp{@@} special cases do not apply.  This is only useful if the
assembly text for the predicate is a simple prefix to the main insn.
In order to handle the general case, there is a global variable
@code{current_insn_predicate} that will contain the entire predicate
if the current insn is predicated, and will otherwise be @code{NULL}.

@var{optional-insn-attributes} is an optional vector of attributes that gets
appended to the insn attributes of the produced cond_exec rtx. It can
be used to add some distinguishing attribute to cond_exec rtxs produced
that way. An example usage would be to use this attribute in conjunction
with attributes on the main pattern to disable particular alternatives under
certain conditions.

When @code{define_cond_exec} is used, an implicit reference to
the @code{predicable} instruction attribute is made.
@xref{Insn Attributes}.  This attribute must be a boolean (i.e.@: have
exactly two elements in its @var{list-of-values}), with the possible
values being @code{no} and @code{yes}.  The default and all uses in
the insns must be a simple constant, not a complex expressions.  It
may, however, depend on the alternative, by using a comma-separated
list of values.  If that is the case, the port should also define an
@code{enabled} attribute (@pxref{Disable Insn Alternatives}), which
should also allow only @code{no} and @code{yes} as its values.

For each @code{define_insn} for which the @code{predicable}
attribute is true, a new @code{define_insn} pattern will be
generated that matches a predicated version of the instruction.
For example,

@smallexample
(define_insn "addsi"
  [(set (match_operand:SI 0 "register_operand" "r")
        (plus:SI (match_operand:SI 1 "register_operand" "r")
                 (match_operand:SI 2 "register_operand" "r")))]
  "@var{test1}"
  "add %2,%1,%0")

(define_cond_exec
  [(ne (match_operand:CC 0 "register_operand" "c")
       (const_int 0))]
  "@var{test2}"
  "(%0)")
@end smallexample

@noindent
generates a new pattern

@smallexample
(define_insn ""
  [(cond_exec
     (ne (match_operand:CC 3 "register_operand" "c") (const_int 0))
     (set (match_operand:SI 0 "register_operand" "r")
          (plus:SI (match_operand:SI 1 "register_operand" "r")
                   (match_operand:SI 2 "register_operand" "r"))))]
  "(@var{test2}) && (@var{test1})"
  "(%3) add %2,%1,%0")
@end smallexample

@ifset INTERNALS
@node Define Subst
@section RTL Templates Transformations
@cindex define_subst

For some hardware architectures there are common cases when the RTL
templates for the instructions can be derived from the other RTL
templates using simple transformations.  E.g., @file{i386.md} contains
an RTL template for the ordinary @code{sub} instruction---
@code{*subsi_1}, and for the @code{sub} instruction with subsequent
zero-extension---@code{*subsi_1_zext}.  Such cases can be easily
implemented by a single meta-template capable of generating a modified
case based on the initial one:

@findex define_subst
@smallexample
(define_subst "@var{name}"
  [@var{input-template}]
  "@var{condition}"
  [@var{output-template}])
@end smallexample
@var{input-template} is a pattern describing the source RTL template,
which will be transformed.

@var{condition} is a C expression that is conjunct with the condition
from the input-template to generate a condition to be used in the
output-template.

@var{output-template} is a pattern that will be used in the resulting
template.

@code{define_subst} mechanism is tightly coupled with the notion of the
subst attribute (@pxref{Subst Iterators}).  The use of
@code{define_subst} is triggered by a reference to a subst attribute in
the transforming RTL template.  This reference initiates duplication of
the source RTL template and substitution of the attributes with their
values.  The source RTL template is left unchanged, while the copy is
transformed by @code{define_subst}.  This transformation can fail in the
case when the source RTL template is not matched against the
input-template of the @code{define_subst}.  In such case the copy is
deleted.

@code{define_subst} can be used only in @code{define_insn} and
@code{define_expand}, it cannot be used in other expressions (e.g.@: in
@code{define_insn_and_split}).

@node Define Subst Example
@subsection @code{define_subst} Example
@cindex define_subst

To illustrate how @code{define_subst} works, let us examine a simple
template transformation.

Suppose there are two kinds of instructions: one that touches flags and
the other that does not.  The instructions of the second type could be
generated with the following @code{define_subst}:

@smallexample
(define_subst "add_clobber_subst"
  [(set (match_operand:SI 0 "" "")
        (match_operand:SI 1 "" ""))]
  ""
  [(set (match_dup 0)
        (match_dup 1))
   (clobber (reg:CC FLAGS_REG))])
@end smallexample

This @code{define_subst} can be applied to any RTL pattern containing
@code{set} of mode SI and generates a copy with clobber when it is
applied.

Assume there is an RTL template for a @code{max} instruction to be used
in @code{define_subst} mentioned above:

@smallexample
(define_insn "maxsi"
  [(set (match_operand:SI 0 "register_operand" "=r")
        (max:SI
          (match_operand:SI 1 "register_operand" "r")
          (match_operand:SI 2 "register_operand" "r")))]
  ""
  "max\t@{%2, %1, %0|%0, %1, %2@}"
 [@dots{}])
@end smallexample

To mark the RTL template for @code{define_subst} application,
subst-attributes are used.  They should be declared in advance:

@smallexample
(define_subst_attr "add_clobber_name" "add_clobber_subst" "_noclobber" "_clobber")
@end smallexample

Here @samp{add_clobber_name} is the attribute name,
@samp{add_clobber_subst} is the name of the corresponding
@code{define_subst}, the third argument (@samp{_noclobber}) is the
attribute value that would be substituted into the unchanged version of
the source RTL template, and the last argument (@samp{_clobber}) is the
value that would be substituted into the second, transformed,
version of the RTL template.

Once the subst-attribute has been defined, it should be used in RTL
templates which need to be processed by the @code{define_subst}.  So,
the original RTL template should be changed:

@smallexample
(define_insn "maxsi<add_clobber_name>"
  [(set (match_operand:SI 0 "register_operand" "=r")
        (max:SI
          (match_operand:SI 1 "register_operand" "r")
          (match_operand:SI 2 "register_operand" "r")))]
  ""
  "max\t@{%2, %1, %0|%0, %1, %2@}"
 [@dots{}])
@end smallexample

The result of the @code{define_subst} usage would look like the following:

@smallexample
(define_insn "maxsi_noclobber"
  [(set (match_operand:SI 0 "register_operand" "=r")
        (max:SI
          (match_operand:SI 1 "register_operand" "r")
          (match_operand:SI 2 "register_operand" "r")))]
  ""
  "max\t@{%2, %1, %0|%0, %1, %2@}"
 [@dots{}])
(define_insn "maxsi_clobber"
  [(set (match_operand:SI 0 "register_operand" "=r")
        (max:SI
          (match_operand:SI 1 "register_operand" "r")
          (match_operand:SI 2 "register_operand" "r")))
   (clobber (reg:CC FLAGS_REG))]
  ""
  "max\t@{%2, %1, %0|%0, %1, %2@}"
 [@dots{}])
@end smallexample

@node Define Subst Pattern Matching
@subsection Pattern Matching in @code{define_subst}
@cindex define_subst

All expressions, allowed in @code{define_insn} or @code{define_expand},
are allowed in the input-template of @code{define_subst}, except
@code{match_par_dup}, @code{match_scratch}, @code{match_parallel}. The
meanings of expressions in the input-template were changed:

@code{match_operand} matches any expression (possibly, a subtree in
RTL-template), if modes of the @code{match_operand} and this expression
are the same, or mode of the @code{match_operand} is @code{VOIDmode}, or
this expression is @code{match_dup}, @code{match_op_dup}.  If the
expression is @code{match_operand} too, and predicate of
@code{match_operand} from the input pattern is not empty, then the
predicates are compared.  That can be used for more accurate filtering
of accepted RTL-templates.

@code{match_operator} matches common operators (like @code{plus},
@code{minus}), @code{unspec}, @code{unspec_volatile} operators and
@code{match_operator}s from the original pattern if the modes match and
@code{match_operator} from the input pattern has the same number of
operands as the operator from the original pattern.

@node Define Subst Output Template
@subsection Generation of output template in @code{define_subst}
@cindex define_subst

If all necessary checks for @code{define_subst} application pass, a new
RTL-pattern, based on the output-template, is created to replace the old
template.  Like in input-patterns, meanings of some RTL expressions are
changed when they are used in output-patterns of a @code{define_subst}.
Thus, @code{match_dup} is used for copying the whole expression from the
original pattern, which matched corresponding @code{match_operand} from
the input pattern.

@code{match_dup N} is used in the output template to be replaced with
the expression from the original pattern, which matched
@code{match_operand N} from the input pattern.  As a consequence,
@code{match_dup} cannot be used to point to @code{match_operand}s from
the output pattern, it should always refer to a @code{match_operand}
from the input pattern.  If a @code{match_dup N} occurs more than once
in the output template, its first occurrence is replaced with the
expression from the original pattern, and the subsequent expressions
are replaced with @code{match_dup N}, i.e., a reference to the first
expression.

In the output template one can refer to the expressions from the
original pattern and create new ones.  For instance, some operands could
be added by means of standard @code{match_operand}.

After replacing @code{match_dup} with some RTL-subtree from the original
pattern, it could happen that several @code{match_operand}s in the
output pattern have the same indexes.  It is unknown, how many and what
indexes would be used in the expression which would replace
@code{match_dup}, so such conflicts in indexes are inevitable.  To
overcome this issue, @code{match_operands} and @code{match_operators},
which were introduced into the output pattern, are renumerated when all
@code{match_dup}s are replaced.

Number of alternatives in @code{match_operand}s introduced into the
output template @code{M} could differ from the number of alternatives in
the original pattern @code{N}, so in the resultant pattern there would
be @code{N*M} alternatives.  Thus, constraints from the original pattern
would be duplicated @code{N} times, constraints from the output pattern
would be duplicated @code{M} times, producing all possible combinations.

@node Constant Definitions
@section Constant Definitions
@cindex constant definitions
@findex define_constants

Using literal constants inside instruction patterns reduces legibility and
can be a maintenance problem.

To overcome this problem, you may use the @code{define_constants}
expression.  It contains a vector of name-value pairs.  From that
point on, wherever any of the names appears in the MD file, it is as
if the corresponding value had been written instead.  You may use
@code{define_constants} multiple times; each appearance adds more
constants to the table.  It is an error to redefine a constant with
a different value.

To come back to the a29k load multiple example, instead of

@smallexample
(define_insn ""
  [(match_parallel 0 "load_multiple_operation"
     [(set (match_operand:SI 1 "gpc_reg_operand" "=r")
           (match_operand:SI 2 "memory_operand" "m"))
      (use (reg:SI 179))
      (clobber (reg:SI 179))])]
  ""
  "loadm 0,0,%1,%2")
@end smallexample

You could write:

@smallexample
(define_constants [
    (R_BP 177)
    (R_FC 178)
    (R_CR 179)
    (R_Q  180)
])

(define_insn ""
  [(match_parallel 0 "load_multiple_operation"
     [(set (match_operand:SI 1 "gpc_reg_operand" "=r")
           (match_operand:SI 2 "memory_operand" "m"))
      (use (reg:SI R_CR))
      (clobber (reg:SI R_CR))])]
  ""
  "loadm 0,0,%1,%2")
@end smallexample

The constants that are defined with a define_constant are also output
in the insn-codes.h header file as #defines.

@cindex enumerations
@findex define_c_enum
You can also use the machine description file to define enumerations.
Like the constants defined by @code{define_constant}, these enumerations
are visible to both the machine description file and the main C code.

The syntax is as follows:

@smallexample
(define_c_enum "@var{name}" [
  @var{value0}
  @var{value1}
  (@var{value32} 32)
  @var{value33}
  @dots{}
  @var{valuen}
])
@end smallexample

This definition causes the equivalent of the following C code to appear
in @file{insn-constants.h}:

@smallexample
enum @var{name} @{
  @var{value0} = 0,
  @var{value1} = 1,
  @var{value32} = 32,
  @var{value33} = 33,
  @dots{}
  @var{valuen} = @var{n}
@};
#define NUM_@var{cname}_VALUES (@var{n} + 1)
@end smallexample

where @var{cname} is the capitalized form of @var{name}.
It also makes each @var{valuei} available in the machine description
file, just as if it had been declared with:

@smallexample
(define_constants [(@var{valuei} @var{i})])
@end smallexample

Each @var{valuei} is usually an upper-case identifier and usually
begins with @var{cname}.

You can split the enumeration definition into as many statements as
you like.  The above example is directly equivalent to:

@smallexample
(define_c_enum "@var{name}" [@var{value0}])
(define_c_enum "@var{name}" [@var{value1}])
@dots{}
(define_c_enum "@var{name}" [@var{valuen}])
@end smallexample

Splitting the enumeration helps to improve the modularity of each
individual @code{.md} file.  For example, if a port defines its
synchronization instructions in a separate @file{sync.md} file,
it is convenient to define all synchronization-specific enumeration
values in @file{sync.md} rather than in the main @file{.md} file.

Some enumeration names have special significance to GCC:

@table @code
@findex unspec_volatile
@item unspecv
If an enumeration called @code{unspecv} is defined, GCC will use it
when printing out @code{unspec_volatile} expressions.  For example:

@smallexample
(define_c_enum "unspecv" [
  UNSPECV_BLOCKAGE
])
@end smallexample

causes GCC to print @samp{(unspec_volatile @dots{} 0)} as:

@smallexample
(unspec_volatile ... UNSPECV_BLOCKAGE)
@end smallexample

@findex unspec
@item unspec
If an enumeration called @code{unspec} is defined, GCC will use
it when printing out @code{unspec} expressions.  GCC will also use
it when printing out @code{unspec_volatile} expressions unless an
@code{unspecv} enumeration is also defined.  You can therefore
decide whether to keep separate enumerations for volatile and
non-volatile expressions or whether to use the same enumeration
for both.
@end table

@findex define_enum
@anchor{define_enum}
Another way of defining an enumeration is to use @code{define_enum}:

@smallexample
(define_enum "@var{name}" [
  @var{value0}
  @var{value1}
  @dots{}
  @var{valuen}
])
@end smallexample

This directive implies:

@smallexample
(define_c_enum "@var{name}" [
  @var{cname}_@var{cvalue0}
  @var{cname}_@var{cvalue1}
  @dots{}
  @var{cname}_@var{cvaluen}
])
@end smallexample

@findex define_enum_attr
where @var{cvaluei} is the capitalized form of @var{valuei}.
However, unlike @code{define_c_enum}, the enumerations defined
by @code{define_enum} can be used in attribute specifications
(@pxref{define_enum_attr}).

floating-point arithmetic, the @code{SFmode} patterns tend to be
very similar to the @code{DFmode} ones.

If a port uses @code{SImode} pointers in one configuration and
@code{DImode} pointers in another, it will usually have very similar
@code{SImode} and @code{DImode} patterns for manipulating pointers.

Mode iterators allow several patterns to be instantiated from one
@file{.md} file template.  They can be used with any type of
rtx-based construct, such as a @code{define_insn},
@code{define_split}, or @code{define_peephole2}.

@node Defining Mode Iterators
@subsubsection Defining Mode Iterators
@findex define_mode_iterator

The syntax for defining a mode iterator is:

@smallexample
(define_mode_iterator @var{name} [(@var{mode1} "@var{cond1}") @dots{} (@var{moden} "@var{condn}")])
@end smallexample

This allows subsequent @file{.md} file constructs to use the mode suffix
@code{:@var{name}}.  Every construct that does so will be expanded
@var{n} times, once with every use of @code{:@var{name}} replaced by
@code{:@var{mode1}}, once with every use replaced by @code{:@var{mode2}},
and so on.  In the expansion for a particular @var{modei}, every
C condition will also require that @var{condi} be true.

For example:

@smallexample
(define_mode_iterator P [(SI "Pmode == SImode") (DI "Pmode == DImode")])
@end smallexample

defines a new mode suffix @code{:P}.  Every construct that uses
@code{:P} will be expanded twice, once with every @code{:P} replaced
by @code{:SI} and once with every @code{:P} replaced by @code{:DI}.
The @code{:SI} version will only apply if @code{Pmode == SImode} and
the @code{:DI} version will only apply if @code{Pmode == DImode}.

As with other @file{.md} conditions, an empty string is treated
as ``always true''.  @code{(@var{mode} "")} can also be abbreviated
to @code{@var{mode}}.  For example:

@smallexample
(define_mode_iterator GPR [SI (DI "TARGET_64BIT")])
@end smallexample

means that the @code{:DI} expansion only applies if @code{TARGET_64BIT}
but that the @code{:SI} expansion has no such constraint.

Iterators are applied in the order they are defined.  This can be
significant if two iterators are used in a construct that requires
substitutions.  @xref{Substitutions}.

@node Substitutions
@subsubsection Substitution in Mode Iterators
@findex define_mode_attr

If an @file{.md} file construct uses mode iterators, each version of the
construct will often need slightly different strings or modes.  For
example:

@itemize @bullet
@item
When a @code{define_expand} defines several @code{add@var{m}3} patterns
(@pxref{Standard Names}), each expander will need to use the
appropriate mode name for @var{m}.

@item
When a @code{define_insn} defines several instruction patterns,
each instruction will often use a different assembler mnemonic.

@item
When a @code{define_insn} requires operands with different modes,
using an iterator for one of the operand modes usually requires a specific
mode for the other operand(s).
@end itemize

GCC supports such variations through a system of ``mode attributes''.
There are two standard attributes: @code{mode}, which is the name of
the mode in lower case, and @code{MODE}, which is the same thing in
upper case.  You can define other attributes using:

@smallexample
(define_mode_attr @var{name} [(@var{mode1} "@var{value1}") @dots{} (@var{moden} "@var{valuen}")])
@end smallexample

where @var{name} is the name of the attribute and @var{valuei}
is the value associated with @var{modei}.

When GCC replaces some @var{:iterator} with @var{:mode}, it will scan
each string and mode in the pattern for sequences of the form
@code{<@var{iterator}:@var{attr}>}, where @var{attr} is the name of a
mode attribute.  If the attribute is defined for @var{mode}, the whole
@code{<@dots{}>} sequence will be replaced by the appropriate attribute
value.

For example, suppose an @file{.md} file has:

@smallexample
(define_mode_iterator P [(SI "Pmode == SImode") (DI "Pmode == DImode")])
(define_mode_attr load [(SI "lw") (DI "ld")])
@end smallexample

If one of the patterns that uses @code{:P} contains the string
@code{"<P:load>\t%0,%1"}, the @code{SI} version of that pattern
will use @code{"lw\t%0,%1"} and the @code{DI} version will use
@code{"ld\t%0,%1"}.

Here is an example of using an attribute for a mode:

@smallexample
(define_mode_iterator LONG [SI DI])
(define_mode_attr SHORT [(SI "HI") (DI "SI")])
(define_insn @dots{}
  (sign_extend:LONG (match_operand:<LONG:SHORT> @dots{})) @dots{})
@end smallexample

The @code{@var{iterator}:} prefix may be omitted, in which case the
substitution will be attempted for every iterator expansion.

@node Examples
@subsubsection Mode Iterator Examples

Here is an example from the MIPS port.  It defines the following
modes and attributes (among others):

@smallexample
(define_mode_iterator GPR [SI (DI "TARGET_64BIT")])
(define_mode_attr d [(SI "") (DI "d")])
@end smallexample

and uses the following template to define both @code{subsi3}
and @code{subdi3}:

@smallexample
(define_insn "sub<mode>3"
  [(set (match_operand:GPR 0 "register_operand" "=d")
        (minus:GPR (match_operand:GPR 1 "register_operand" "d")
                   (match_operand:GPR 2 "register_operand" "d")))]
  ""
  "<d>subu\t%0,%1,%2"
  [(set_attr "type" "arith")
   (set_attr "mode" "<MODE>")])
@end smallexample

This is exactly equivalent to:

@smallexample
(define_insn "subsi3"
  [(set (match_operand:SI 0 "register_operand" "=d")
        (minus:SI (match_operand:SI 1 "register_operand" "d")
                  (match_operand:SI 2 "register_operand" "d")))]
  ""
  "subu\t%0,%1,%2"
  [(set_attr "type" "arith")
   (set_attr "mode" "SI")])

(define_insn "subdi3"
  [(set (match_operand:DI 0 "register_operand" "=d")
        (minus:DI (match_operand:DI 1 "register_operand" "d")
                  (match_operand:DI 2 "register_operand" "d")))]
  "TARGET_64BIT"
  "dsubu\t%0,%1,%2"
  [(set_attr "type" "arith")
   (set_attr "mode" "DI")])
@end smallexample

@node Code Iterators
@subsection Code Iterators
@cindex code iterators in @file{.md} files
@findex define_code_iterator
@findex define_code_attr

Code iterators operate in a similar way to mode iterators.  @xref{Mode Iterators}.

The construct:

@smallexample
(define_code_iterator @var{name} [(@var{code1} "@var{cond1}") @dots{} (@var{coden} "@var{condn}")])
@end smallexample

defines a pseudo rtx code @var{name} that can be instantiated as
@var{codei} if condition @var{condi} is true.  Each @var{codei}
must have the same rtx format.  @xref{RTL Classes}.

As with mode iterators, each pattern that uses @var{name} will be
expanded @var{n} times, once with all uses of @var{name} replaced by
@var{code1}, once with all uses replaced by @var{code2}, and so on.
@xref{Defining Mode Iterators}.

It is possible to define attributes for codes as well as for modes.
There are two standard code attributes: @code{code}, the name of the
code in lower case, and @code{CODE}, the name of the code in upper case.
Other attributes are defined using:

@smallexample
(define_code_attr @var{name} [(@var{code1} "@var{value1}") @dots{} (@var{coden} "@var{valuen}")])
@end smallexample

Instruction patterns can use code attributes as rtx codes, which can be
useful if two sets of codes act in tandem.  For example, the following
@code{define_insn} defines two patterns, one calculating a signed absolute
difference and another calculating an unsigned absolute difference:

@smallexample
(define_code_iterator any_max [smax umax])
(define_code_attr paired_min [(smax "smin") (umax "umin")])
(define_insn @dots{}
  [(set (match_operand:SI 0 @dots{})
        (minus:SI (any_max:SI (match_operand:SI 1 @dots{})
                              (match_operand:SI 2 @dots{}))
                  (<paired_min>:SI (match_dup 1) (match_dup 2))))]
  @dots{})
@end smallexample

The signed version of the instruction uses @code{smax} and @code{smin}
while the unsigned version uses @code{umax} and @code{umin}.  There
are no versions that pair @code{smax} with @code{umin} or @code{umax}
with @code{smin}.

Here's an example of code iterators in action, taken from the MIPS port:

@smallexample
(define_code_iterator any_cond [unordered ordered unlt unge uneq ltgt unle ungt
                                eq ne gt ge lt le gtu geu ltu leu])

(define_expand "b<code>"
  [(set (pc)
        (if_then_else (any_cond:CC (cc0)
                                   (const_int 0))
                      (label_ref (match_operand 0 ""))
                      (pc)))]
  ""
@{
  gen_conditional_branch (operands, <CODE>);
  DONE;
@})
@end smallexample

This is equivalent to:

@smallexample
(define_expand "bunordered"
  [(set (pc)
        (if_then_else (unordered:CC (cc0)
                                    (const_int 0))
                      (label_ref (match_operand 0 ""))

                      (label_ref (match_operand 0 ""))
                      (pc)))]

@node Int Iterators
@subsection Int Iterators
@cindex int iterators in @file{.md} files
@findex define_int_iterator
@findex define_int_attr

Int iterators operate in a similar way to code iterators.  @xref{Code Iterators}.

The construct:

@smallexample
(define_int_iterator @var{name} [(@var{int1} "@var{cond1}") @dots{} (@var{intn} "@var{condn}")])
@end smallexample

defines a pseudo integer constant @var{name} that can be instantiated as
@var{inti} if condition @var{condi} is true.  Int iterators can appear in
only those rtx fields that have `i', `n', `w', or `p' as the specifier.
This means that each @var{int} has to be a constant defined using
@samp{define_constant} or @samp{define_c_enum}.

As with mode and code iterators, each pattern that uses @var{name} will be
expanded @var{n} times, once with all uses of @var{name} replaced by
@var{int1}, once with all uses replaced by @var{int2}, and so on.
@xref{Defining Mode Iterators}.

It is possible to define attributes for ints as well as for codes and modes.
Attributes are defined using:

@smallexample
(define_int_attr @var{attr_name} [(@var{int1} "@var{value1}") @dots{} (@var{intn} "@var{valuen}")])
@end smallexample

In additon to these user-defined attributes, it is possible to use
@samp{<@var{name}>} to refer to the current expansion of iterator
@var{name} (such as @var{int1}, @var{int2}, and so on).

Here's an example of int iterators in action, taken from the ARM port:

@smallexample
(define_int_iterator QABSNEG [UNSPEC_VQABS UNSPEC_VQNEG])

(define_int_attr absneg [(UNSPEC_VQABS "abs") (UNSPEC_VQNEG "neg")])

(define_insn "neon_vq<absneg><mode>"
  [(set (match_operand:VDQIW 0 "s_register_operand" "=w")
	(unspec:VDQIW [(match_operand:VDQIW 1 "s_register_operand" "w")
		       (match_operand:SI 2 "immediate_operand" "i")]
		      QABSNEG))]
  "TARGET_NEON"
  "vq<absneg>.<V_s_elem>\t%<V_reg>0, %<V_reg>1"
  [(set_attr "type" "neon_vqneg_vqabs")]
)

@end smallexample

This is equivalent to:

@smallexample
(define_insn "neon_vqabs<mode>"
  [(set (match_operand:VDQIW 0 "s_register_operand" "=w")
	(unspec:VDQIW [(match_operand:VDQIW 1 "s_register_operand" "w")

@node Subst Iterators
@subsection Subst Iterators
@cindex subst iterators in @file{.md} files
@findex define_subst
@findex define_subst_attr

Subst iterators are special type of iterators with the following
restrictions: they could not be declared explicitly, they always have
only two values, and they do not have explicit dedicated name.
Subst-iterators are triggered only when corresponding subst-attribute is
used in RTL-pattern.

Subst iterators transform templates in the following way: the templates
are duplicated, the subst-attributes in these templates are replaced
with the corresponding values, and a new attribute is implicitly added
to the given @code{define_insn}/@code{define_expand}.  The name of the
added attribute matches the name of @code{define_subst}.  Such
attributes are declared implicitly, and it is not allowed to have a
@code{define_attr} named as a @code{define_subst}.

Each subst iterator is linked to a @code{define_subst}.  It is declared
implicitly by the first appearance of the corresponding
@code{define_subst_attr}, and it is not allowed to define it explicitly.

Declarations of subst-attributes have the following syntax:

@findex define_subst_attr
@smallexample
(define_subst_attr "@var{name}"
  "@var{subst-name}"
  "@var{no-subst-value}"
  "@var{subst-applied-value}")
@end smallexample

@var{name} is a string with which the given subst-attribute could be
referred to.

@var{subst-name} shows which @code{define_subst} should be applied to an
RTL-template if the given subst-attribute is present in the
RTL-template.

@var{no-subst-value} is a value with which subst-attribute would be
replaced in the first copy of the original RTL-template.

@var{subst-applied-value} is a value with which subst-attribute would be
replaced in the second copy of the original RTL-template.

@node Parameterized Names
@subsection Parameterized Names
@cindex @samp{@@} in instruction pattern names
Ports sometimes need to apply iterators using C++ code, in order to
get the code or RTL pattern for a specific instruction.  For example,
suppose we have the @samp{neon_vq<absneg><mode>} pattern given above:

@smallexample
(define_int_iterator QABSNEG [UNSPEC_VQABS UNSPEC_VQNEG])

(define_int_attr absneg [(UNSPEC_VQABS "abs") (UNSPEC_VQNEG "neg")])

(define_insn "neon_vq<absneg><mode>"
  [(set (match_operand:VDQIW 0 "s_register_operand" "=w")
	(unspec:VDQIW [(match_operand:VDQIW 1 "s_register_operand" "w")
		       (match_operand:SI 2 "immediate_operand" "i")]
		      QABSNEG))]
  @dots{}
)
@end smallexample

A port might need to generate this pattern for a variable
@samp{QABSNEG} value and a variable @samp{VDQIW} mode.  There are two
ways of doing this.  The first is to build the rtx for the pattern
directly from C++ code; this is a valid technique and avoids any risk
of combinatorial explosion.  The second is to prefix the instruction
name with the special character @samp{@@}, which tells GCC to generate
the four additional functions below.  In each case, @var{name} is the
name of the instruction without the leading @samp{@@} character,
without the @samp{<@dots{}>} placeholders, and with any underscore
before a @samp{<@dots{}>} placeholder removed if keeping it would
lead to a double or trailing underscore.

@table @samp
@item insn_code maybe_code_for_@var{name} (@var{i1}, @var{i2}, @dots{})
See whether replacing the first @samp{<@dots{}>} placeholder with
iterator value @var{i1}, the second with iterator value @var{i2}, and
so on, gives a valid instruction.  Return its code if so, otherwise
return @code{CODE_FOR_nothing}.

@item insn_code code_for_@var{name} (@var{i1}, @var{i2}, @dots{})
Same, but abort the compiler if the requested instruction does not exist.

@item rtx maybe_gen_@var{name} (@var{i1}, @var{i2}, @dots{}, @var{op0}, @var{op1}, @dots{})
Check for a valid instruction in the same way as
@code{maybe_code_for_@var{name}}.  If the instruction exists,
generate an instance of it using the operand values given by @var{op0},
@var{op1}, and so on, otherwise return null.

@item rtx gen_@var{name} (@var{i1}, @var{i2}, @dots{}, @var{op0}, @var{op1}, @dots{})
Same, but abort the compiler if the requested instruction does not exist,
or if the instruction generator invoked the @code{FAIL} macro.
@end table

For example, changing the pattern above to:

@smallexample
(define_insn "@@neon_vq<absneg><mode>"
  [(set (match_operand:VDQIW 0 "s_register_operand" "=w")
	(unspec:VDQIW [(match_operand:VDQIW 1 "s_register_operand" "w")
		       (match_operand:SI 2 "immediate_operand" "i")]
		      QABSNEG))]
  @dots{}
)
@end smallexample

would define the same patterns as before, but in addition would generate
the four functions below:

@smallexample
insn_code maybe_code_for_neon_vq (int, machine_mode);
insn_code code_for_neon_vq (int, machine_mode);
rtx maybe_gen_neon_vq (int, machine_mode, rtx, rtx, rtx);
rtx gen_neon_vq (int, machine_mode, rtx, rtx, rtx);
@end smallexample

Calling @samp{code_for_neon_vq (UNSPEC_VQABS, V8QImode)}
would then give @code{CODE_FOR_neon_vqabsv8qi}.

It is possible to have multiple @samp{@@} patterns with the same
name and same types of iterator.  For example:

@smallexample
(define_insn "@@some_arithmetic_op<mode>"
  [(set (match_operand:INTEGER_MODES 0 "register_operand") @dots{})]
  @dots{}
)

(define_insn "@@some_arithmetic_op<mode>"
  [(set (match_operand:FLOAT_MODES 0 "register_operand") @dots{})]
  @dots{}
)
@end smallexample

would produce a single set of functions that handles both
@code{INTEGER_MODES} and @code{FLOAT_MODES}.

It is also possible for these @samp{@@} patterns to have different
numbers of operands from each other.  For example, patterns with
a binary rtl code might take three operands (one output and two inputs)
while patterns with a ternary rtl code might take four operands (one
output and three inputs).  This combination would produce separate
@samp{maybe_gen_@var{name}} and @samp{gen_@var{name}} functions for
each operand count, but it would still produce a single
@samp{maybe_code_for_@var{name}} and a single @samp{code_for_@var{name}}.
