I have read http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gccint/RTL.html document and
I have got compiler information applying -fdump-rtl-all option. My
main doubt is how RTL is defined, this is, what it represents.
I suppose is something very close to assembler, because It has to
represent the operations between registers. But I don't know how RTL
is defined from IR. At the end, RTL represents a low-level
intermediate representation (language) that its internally represented
by a tree, but I find no place where is defined what can representate
a RTL tree node, etc.
Thanks
Fran
