        !            30: ---------------------------------
        !            31: 
        !            32:    Each of the macros in this section is used to do the whole job of
        !            33: outputting a single uninitialized variable.
        !            34: 
        !            35: `ASM_OUTPUT_COMMON (STREAM, NAME, SIZE, ROUNDED)'
        !            36:      A C statement (sans semicolon) to output to the stdio stream
        !            37:      STREAM the assembler definition of a common-label named NAME
        !            38:      whose size is SIZE bytes.  The variable ROUNDED is the size
        !            39:      rounded up to whatever alignment the caller wants.
        !            40: 
        !            41:      Use the expression `assemble_name (STREAM, NAME)' to output the
        !            42:      name itself; before and after that, output the additional
        !            43:      assembler syntax for defining the name, and a newline.
        !            44: 
        !            45:      This macro controls how the assembler definitions of uninitialized
        !            46:      global variables are output.
        !            47:

        !            49:      Like `ASM_OUTPUT_COMMON' except takes the required alignment as a
        !            50:      separate, explicit argument.  If you define this macro, it is
        !            51:      used in place of `ASM_OUTPUT_COMMON', and gives you more
        !            52:      flexibility in handling the required alignment of the variable.
        !            53:

        !            55:      If defined, it is similar to `ASM_OUTPUT_COMMON', except that it
        !            56:      is used when NAME is shared.  If not defined, `ASM_OUTPUT_COMMON'
        !            57:      will be used.
        !            58:

        !            61:      STREAM the assembler definition of a local-common-label named
        !            62:      NAME whose size is SIZE bytes.  The variable ROUNDED is the size
        !            63:      rounded up to whatever alignment the caller wants.
        !            64: 
        !            65:      Use the expression `assemble_name (STREAM, NAME)' to output the

        !            67:      assembler syntax for defining the name, and a newline.
        !            68: 
        !            69:      This macro controls how the assembler definitions of uninitialized
        !            70:      static variables are output.
        !            71: 
        !            72: `ASM_OUTPUT_ALIGNED_LOCAL (STREAM, NAME, SIZE, ALIGNMENT)'
        !            73:      Like `ASM_OUTPUT_LOCAL' except takes the required alignment as a
        !            74:      separate, explicit argument.  If you define this macro, it is
        !            75:      used in place of `ASM_OUTPUT_LOCAL', and gives you more
        !            76:      flexibility in handling the required alignment of the variable.

        !            78: `ASM_OUTPUT_SHARED_LOCAL (STREAM, NAME, SIZE, ROUNDED)'
        !            79:      If defined, it is similar to `ASM_OUTPUT_LOCAL', except that it
        !            80:      is used when NAME is shared.  If not defined, `ASM_OUTPUT_LOCAL'
        !            81:      will be used.

        !            86: Output and Generation of Labels
        !            87: -------------------------------
        !            88: 
        !            89: `ASM_OUTPUT_LABEL (STREAM, NAME)'
        !            90:      A C statement (sans semicolon) to output to the stdio stream
        !            91:      STREAM the assembler definition of a label named NAME.  Use the
        !            92:      expression `assemble_name (STREAM, NAME)' to output the name
        !            93:      itself; before and after that, output the additional assembler
        !            94:      syntax for defining the name, and a newline.

        !            97:      A C statement (sans semicolon) to output to the stdio stream
        !            98:      STREAM any text necessary for declaring the name NAME of a
        !            99:      function which is being defined.  This macro is responsible for
        !           100:      outputting the label definition (perhaps using
        !           101:      `ASM_OUTPUT_LABEL').  The argument DECL is the `FUNCTION_DECL'
        !           102:      tree node representing the function.
        !           103: 
        !           104:      If this macro is not defined, then the function name is defined
        !           105:      in the usual manner as a label (by means of `ASM_OUTPUT_LABEL').
        !           106:

        !           108:      A C statement (sans semicolon) to output to the stdio stream
        !           109:      STREAM any text necessary for declaring the size of a function
        !           110:      which is being defined.  The argument NAME is the name of the
        !           111:      function.  The argument DECL is the `FUNCTION_DECL' tree node
        !           112:      representing the function.
        !           113: 
        !           114:      If this macro is not defined, then the function size is not
        !           115:      defined.
        !           116: 
        !           117: `ASM_DECLARE_OBJECT_NAME (STREAM, NAME, DECL)'
        !           118:      A C statement (sans semicolon) to output to the stdio stream
        !           119:      STREAM any text necessary for declaring the name NAME of an
        !           120:      initialized variable which is being defined.  This macro must
        !           121:      output the label definition (perhaps using `ASM_OUTPUT_LABEL'). 
        !           122:      The argument DECL is the `VAR_DECL' tree node representing the
        !           123:      variable.
        !           124: 
        !           125:      If this macro is not defined, then the variable name is defined
        !           126:      in the usual manner as a label (by means of `ASM_OUTPUT_LABEL').
        !           127: 
        !           128: `ASM_GLOBALIZE_LABEL (STREAM, NAME)'
        !           129:      A C statement (sans semicolon) to output to the stdio stream
        !           130:      STREAM some commands that will make the label NAME global; that
        !           131:      is, available for reference from other files.  Use the expression
        !           132:      `assemble_name (STREAM, NAME)' to output the name itself; before
        !           133:      and after that, output the additional assembler syntax for making
        !           134:      that name global, and a newline.
        !           135: 
        !           136: `ASM_OUTPUT_EXTERNAL (STREAM, DECL, NAME)'
        !           137:      A C statement (sans semicolon) to output to the stdio stream
        !           138:      STREAM any text necessary for declaring the name of an external
        !           139:      symbol named NAME which is referenced in this compilation but not
        !           140:      defined.  The value of DECL is the tree node for the declaration.
        !           141: 
        !           142:      This macro need not be defined if it does not need to output
        !           143:      anything.  The GNU assembler and most Unix assemblers don't
        !           144:      require anything.
        !           145: 
        !           146: `ASM_OUTPUT_EXTERNAL_LIBCALL (STREAM, SYMREF)'
        !           147:      A C statement (sans semicolon) to output on STREAM an assembler
        !           148:      pseudo-op to declare a library function name external.  The name
        !           149:      of the library function is given by SYMREF, which has type `rtx'
        !           150:      and is a `symbol_ref'.
        !           151: 
        !           152:      This macro need not be defined if it does not need to output
        !           153:      anything.  The GNU assembler and most Unix assemblers don't
        !           154:      require anything.
        !           155: 
        !           156: `ASM_OUTPUT_LABELREF (STREAM, NAME)'
        !           157:      A C statement (sans semicolon) to output to the stdio stream
        !           158:      STREAM a reference in assembler syntax to a label named NAME. 
        !           159:      This should add `_' to the front of the name, if that is
        !           160:      customary on your operating system, as it is in most Berkeley Unix
        !           161:      systems.  This macro is used in `assemble_name'.
        !           162: 
        !           163: `ASM_OUTPUT_LABELREF_AS_INT (FILE, LABEL)'
        !           164:      Define this macro for systems that use the program `collect2'. 
        !           165:      The definition should be a C statement to output a word containing
        !           166:      a reference to the label LABEL.
        !           167: 
        !           168: `ASM_GENERATE_INTERNAL_LABEL (STRING, PREFIX, NUM)'
        !           169:      A C statement to store into the string STRING a label whose name
        !           170:      is made from the string PREFIX and the number NUM.
        !           171: 
        !           172:      This string, when output subsequently by `ASM_OUTPUT_LABELREF',
        !           173:      should produce the same output that `ASM_OUTPUT_INTERNAL_LABEL'
        !           174:      would produce with the same PREFIX and NUM.
        !           175: 
        !           176: `ASM_OUTPUT_INTERNAL_LABEL (STREAM, PREFIX, NUM)'
        !           177:      A C statement to output to the stdio stream STREAM a label whose
        !           178:      name is made from the string PREFIX and the number NUM.  These
        !           179:      labels are used for internal purposes, and there is no reason for
        !           180:      them to appear in the symbol table of the object file.  On many
        !           181:      systems, the letter `L' at the beginning of a label has this
        !           182:      effect.  The usual definition of this macro is as follows:
        !           183: 
        !           184:           fprintf (STREAM, "L%s%d:\n", PREFIX, NUM)
        !           185: 
        !           186: `ASM_FORMAT_PRIVATE_NAME (OUTVAR, NAME, NUMBER)'
        !           187:      A C expression to assign to OUTVAR (which is a variable of type
        !           188:      `char *') a newly allocated string made from the string NAME and
        !           189:      the number NUMBER, with some suitable punctuation added.  Use
        !           190:      `alloca' to get space for the string.
        !           191: 
        !           192:      This string will be used as the argument to `ASM_OUTPUT_LABELREF'
        !           193:      to produce an assembler label for an internal static variable
        !           194:      whose name is NAME.  Therefore, the string must be such as to
        !           195:      result in valid assembler code.  The argument NUMBER is different
        !           196:      each time this macro is executed; it prevents conflicts between
        !           197:      similarly-named internal static variables in different scopes.
        !           198: 
        !           199:      Ideally this string should not be a valid C identifier, to
        !           200:      prevent any conflict with the user's own symbols.  Most
        !           201:      assemblers allow periods or percent signs in assembler symbols;
        !           202:      putting at least one of these between the name and the number
        !           203:      will suffice.
        !           204: 
        !           205: `OBJC_GEN_METHOD_LABEL (BUF, IS_INST, CLASS_NAME, CAT_NAME, SEL_NAME)'
        !           206:      Define this macro to override the default assembler names used for
        !           207:      Objective C methods.
        !           208: 
        !           209:      The default name is a unique method number followed by the name
        !           210:      of the class (e.g. `_1_Foo').  For methods in categories, the
        !           211:      name of the category is also included in the assembler name (e.g. 
        !           212:      `_1_Foo_Bar').
        !           213: 
        !           214:      These names are safe on most systems, but make debugging
        !           215:      difficult since the method's selector is not present in the name.
        !           216:       Therefore, particular systems define other ways of computing
        !           217:      names.
        !           218:

        !           233: 
        !           234:    The compiled code for certain languages includes "constructors"

        !           236: in the program when the program is started.  These functions need to
        !           237: be called before the program is "started"--that is to say, before
        !           238: `main' is called.
        !           239: 
        !           240:    Compiling some languages generates "destructors" (also called
        !           241: "termination routines") that should be called when the program
        !           242: terminates.
        !           243: 
        !           244:    To make the initialization and termination functions work, the
        !           245: compiler must output something in the assembler code to cause those
        !           246: functions to be called at the appropriate time.  When you port the
        !           247: compiler to a new system, you need to specify what assembler code is
        !           248: needed to do this.
        !           249: 
        !           250:    Here are the two macros you should define if necessary:
        !           251: 
        !           252: `ASM_OUTPUT_CONSTRUCTOR (STREAM, NAME)'
        !           253:      Define this macro as a C statement to output on the stream STREAM
        !           254:      the assembler code to arrange to call the function named NAME at
        !           255:      initialization time.
        !           256: 
        !           257:      Assume that NAME is the name of a C function generated
        !           258:      automatically by the compiler.  This function takes no arguments.
        !           259:       Use the function `assemble_name' to output the name NAME; this
        !           260:      performs any system-specific syntactic transformations such as
        !           261:      adding an underscore.
        !           262: 
        !           263:      If you don't define this macro, nothing special is output to
        !           264:      arrange to call the function.  This is correct when the function
        !           265:      will be called in some other manner--for example, by means of the
        !           266:      `collect' program, which looks through the symbol table to find
        !           267:      these functions by their names.  If you want to use `collect',
        !           268:      then you need to arrange for it to be built and installed and
        !           269:      used on your system.
        !           270: 
        !           271: `ASM_OUTPUT_DESTRUCTOR (STREAM, NAME)'
        !           272:      This is like `ASM_OUTPUT_CONSTRUCTOR' but used for termination
        !           273:      functions rather than initialization functions.
        !           274:

        !           280: 
        !           281: `REGISTER_NAMES'
        !           282:      A C initializer containing the assembler's names for the machine
        !           283:      registers, each one as a C string constant.  This is what
        !           284:      translates register numbers in the compiler into assembler
        !           285:      language.

        !           287: `ADDITIONAL_REGISTER_NAMES'
        !           288:      If defined, a C initializer for an array of structures containing
        !           289:      a name and a register number.  This macro defines additional
        !           290:      names for hard registers, thus allowing the `asm' option in
        !           291:      declarations to refer to registers using alternate names.
        !           292: 
        !           293: `ASM_OUTPUT_OPCODE (STREAM, PTR)'
        !           294:      Define this macro if you are using an unusual assembler that
        !           295:      requires different names for the machine instructions.
        !           296: 
        !           297:      The definition is a C statement or statements which output an
        !           298:      assembler instruction opcode to the stdio stream STREAM.  The
        !           299:      macro-operand PTR is a variable of type `char *' which points to
        !           300:      the opcode name in its "internal" form--the form that is written
        !           301:      in the machine description.  The definition should output the
        !           302:      opcode name to STREAM, performing any translation you desire, and
        !           303:      increment the variable PTR to point at the end of the opcode so
        !           304:      that it will not be output twice.
        !           305: 
        !           306:      In fact, your macro definition may process less than the entire
        !           307:      opcode name, or more than the opcode name; but if you want to
        !           308:      process text that includes `%'-sequences to substitute operands,
        !           309:      you must take care of the substitution yourself.  Just be sure to
        !           310:      increment PTR over whatever text should not be output normally.
        !           311: 
        !           312:      If you need to look at the operand values, they can be found as
        !           313:      the elements of `recog_operand'.
        !           314: 
        !           315:      If the macro definition does nothing, the instruction is output
        !           316:      in the usual way.
        !           317: 
        !           318: `FINAL_PRESCAN_INSN (INSN, OPVEC, NOPERANDS)'
        !           319:      If defined, a C statement to be executed just prior to the output
        !           320:      of assembler code for INSN, to modify the extracted operands so
        !           321:      they will be output differently.
        !           322: 
        !           323:      Here the argument OPVEC is the vector containing the operands
        !           324:      extracted from INSN, and NOPERANDS is the number of elements of
        !           325:      the vector which contain meaningful data for this insn.  The
        !           326:      contents of this vector are what will be used to convert the insn
        !           327:      template into assembler code, so you can change the assembler
        !           328:      output by changing the contents of the vector.
        !           329: 
        !           330:      This macro is useful when various assembler syntaxes share a
        !           331:      single file of instruction patterns; by defining this macro
        !           332:      differently, you can cause a large class of instructions to be
        !           333:      output differently (such as with rearranged operands). 
        !           334:      Naturally, variations in assembler syntax affecting individual
        !           335:      insn patterns ought to be handled by writing conditional output
        !           336:      routines in those patterns.
        !           337: 
        !           338:      If this macro is not defined, it is equivalent to a null
        !           339:      statement.
        !           340: 
        !           341: `PRINT_OPERAND (STREAM, X, CODE)'
        !           342:      A C compound statement to output to stdio stream STREAM the
        !           343:      assembler syntax for an instruction operand X.  X is an RTL
        !           344:      expression.
        !           345: 
        !           346:      CODE is a value that can be used to specify one of several ways
        !           347:      of printing the operand.  It is used when identical operands must
        !           348:      be printed differently depending on the context.  CODE comes from
        !           349:      the `%' specification that was used to request printing of the
        !           350:      operand.  If the specification was just `%DIGIT' then CODE is 0;
        !           351:      if the specification was `%LTR DIGIT' then CODE is the ASCII code
        !           352:      for LTR.
        !           353: 
        !           354:      If X is a register, this macro should print the register's name. 
        !           355:      The names can be found in an array `reg_names' whose type is
        !           356:      `char *[]'.  `reg_names' is initialized from `REGISTER_NAMES'.
        !           357: 
        !           358:      When the machine description has a specification `%PUNCT' (a `%'
        !           359:      followed by a punctuation character), this macro is called with a
        !           360:      null pointer for X and the punctuation character for CODE.
        !           361: 
        !           362: `PRINT_OPERAND_PUNCT_VALID_P (CODE)'
        !           363:      A C expression which evaluates to true if CODE is a valid
        !           364:      punctuation character for use in the `PRINT_OPERAND' macro.  If
        !           365:      `PRINT_OPERAND_PUNCT_VALID_P' is not defined, it means that no
        !           366:      punctuation characters (except for the standard one, `%') are used
        !           367:      in this way.
        !           368: 
        !           369: `PRINT_OPERAND_ADDRESS (STREAM, X)'
        !           370:      A C compound statement to output to stdio stream STREAM the
        !           371:      assembler syntax for an instruction operand that is a memory
        !           372:      reference whose address is X.  X is an RTL expression.
        !           373: 
        !           374:      On some machines, the syntax for a symbolic address depends on the
        !           375:      section that the address refers to.  On these machines, define
        !           376:      the macro `ENCODE_SECTION_INFO' to store the information into the

        !           382:      have been output.  If necessary, call `dbr_sequence_length' to
        !           383:      determine the number of slots filled in a sequence (zero if not
        !           384:      currently outputting a sequence), to decide how many no-ops to

        !           389:      sequence is made explicit (e.g. with white space).
        !           390: 
        !           391:      Note that output routines for instructions with delay slots must
        !           392:      be prepared to deal with not being output as part of a sequence
        !           393:      (i.e.  when the scheduling pass is not run, or when no slot

        !           745: ===========================================
        !           746: 
        !           747:    While all modern machines use 2's complement representation for
        !           748: integers, there are a variety of representations for floating point
        !           749: numbers.  This means that in a cross-compiler the representation of
        !           750: floating point numbers in the compiled program may be different from
        !           751: that used in the machine doing the compilation.
        !           752: 
        !           753:    Because different representation systems may offer different
        !           754: amounts of range and precision, the cross compiler cannot safely use
        !           755: the host machine's floating point arithmetic.  Therefore, floating
        !           756: point constants must be represented in the target machine's format. 
        !           757: This means that the cross compiler cannot use `atof' to parse a
        !           758: floating point constant; it must have its own special routine to use
        !           759: instead.  Also, constant folding must emulate the target machine's
        !           760: arithmetic (or must not be done at all).
        !           761: 
        !           762:    The macros in the following table should be defined only if you are

        !           764: 
        !           765:    Otherwise, don't define them. Then default definitions will be set
        !           766: up which use `double' as the data type, `==' to test for equality, etc.

        !           769: any of these macros.  The compiler never uses operands which have side

        !           886: Miscellaneous Parameters
        !           887: ========================
        !           888: 
        !           889: `PREDICATE_CODES'
        !           890:      Optionally define this if you have added predicates to
        !           891:      `MACHINE.c'.  This macro is called within an initializer of an
        !           892:      array of structures.  The first field in the structure is the
        !           893:      name of a predicate and the second field is an arrary of rtl
        !           894:      codes.  For each predicate, list all rtl codes that can be in
        !           895:      expressions matched by the predicate.  The list should have a
        !           896:      trailing comma.  Here is an example of two entries in the list
        !           897:      for a typical RISC machine:
        !           898: 
        !           899:           #define PREDICATE_CODES \

        !           901:             {"reg_or_short_cint_operand", {SUBREG, REG, CONST_INT}},
        !           902: 
        !           903:      Defining this macro does not affect the generated code (however,
        !           904:      incorrect definitions that omit an rtl code that may be matched
        !           905:      by the predicate can cause the compiler to malfunction). 
        !           906:      Instead, it allows the table built by `genrecog' to be more
        !           907:      compact and efficient, thus speeding up the compiler.  The most
        !           908:      important predicates to include in the list specified by this
        !           909:      macro are thoses used in the most insn patterns.
        !           910: 
        !           911: `CASE_VECTOR_MODE'
        !           912:      An alias for a machine mode name.  This is the machine mode that
        !           913:      elements of a jump-table should have.
        !           914: 
        !           915: `CASE_VECTOR_PC_RELATIVE'
        !           916:      Define this macro if jump-tables should contain relative
        !           917:      addresses.
        !           918: 
        !           919: `CASE_DROPS_THROUGH'
        !           920:      Define this if control falls through a `case' insn when the index
        !           921:      value is out of range.  This means the specified default-label is
        !           922:      actually ignored by the `case' insn proper.
        !           923: 
        !           924: `BYTE_LOADS_ZERO_EXTEND'
        !           925:      Define this macro if an instruction to load a value narrower than
        !           926:      a word from memory into a register also zero-extends the value to
        !           927:      the whole register.
        !           928: 
        !           929: `IMPLICIT_FIX_EXPR'
        !           930:      An alias for a tree code that should be used by default for
        !           931:      conversion of floating point values to fixed point.  Normally,
        !           932:      `FIX_ROUND_EXPR' is used.
        !           933: 
        !           934: `FIXUNS_TRUNC_LIKE_FIX_TRUNC'
        !           935:      Define this macro if the same instructions that convert a floating
        !           936:      point number to a signed fixed point number also convert validly
        !           937:      to an unsigned one.
        !           938: 
        !           939: `EASY_DIV_EXPR'
        !           940:      An alias for a tree code that is the easiest kind of division to
        !           941:      compile code for in the general case.  It may be
        !           942:      `TRUNC_DIV_EXPR', `FLOOR_DIV_EXPR', `CEIL_DIV_EXPR' or
        !           943:      `ROUND_DIV_EXPR'.  These four division operators differ in how
        !           944:      they round the result to an integer.  `EASY_DIV_EXPR' is used
        !           945:      when it is permissible to use any of those kinds of division and
        !           946:      the choice should be made on the basis of efficiency.
        !           947: 
        !           948: `MOVE_MAX'
        !           949:      The maximum number of bytes that a single instruction can move
        !           950:      quickly from memory to memory.
        !           951: 
        !           952: `SHIFT_COUNT_TRUNCATED'
        !           953:      Defining this macro causes the compiler to omit a sign-extend,
        !           954:      zero-extend, or bitwise `and' instruction that truncates the
        !           955:      count of a shift operation to a width equal to the number of bits
        !           956:      needed to represent the size of the object being shifted.  On
        !           957:      machines that have instructions that act on bitfields at variable
        !           958:      positions, including `bit test' instructions, defining
        !           959:      `SHIFT_COUNT_TRUNCATED' also causes truncation not to be applied
        !           960:      to these instructions.
        !           961: 
        !           962:      If both types of instructions truncate the count (for shifts) and
        !           963:      position (for bitfield operations), or if no variable-position
        !           964:      bitfield instructions exist, you should define this macro.
        !           965: 
        !           966:      However, on some machines, such as the 80386, truncation only
        !           967:      applies to shift operations and not bitfield operations.  Do not
        !           968:      define `SHIFT_COUNT_TRUNCATED' on such machines.  Instead, add
        !           969:      patterns to the `md' file that include the implied truncation of
        !           970:      the shift instructions.
        !           971: 
        !           972: `TRULY_NOOP_TRUNCATION (OUTPREC, INPREC)'
        !           973:      A C expression which is nonzero if on this machine it is safe to
        !           974:      "convert" an integer of INPREC bits to one of OUTPREC bits (where
        !           975:      OUTPREC is smaller than INPREC) by merely operating on it as if
        !           976:      it had only OUTPREC bits.
        !           977: 
        !           978:      On many machines, this expression can be 1.
        !           979: 
        !           980:      It is reported that suboptimal code can result when
        !           981:      `TRULY_NOOP_TRUNCATION' returns 1 for a pair of sizes for modes
        !           982:      for which `MODES_TIEABLE_P' is 0.  If this is the case, making
        !           983:      `TRULY_NOOP_TRUNCATION' return 0 in such cases may improve things.
        !           984: 
        !           985: `STORE_FLAG_VALUE'
        !           986:      A C expression describing the value returned by a comparison
        !           987:      operator and stored by a store-flag instruction (`sCOND') when the
        !           988:      condition is true.  This description must apply to *all* the
        !           989:      `sCOND' patterns and all the comparison operators.
        !           990: 
        !           991:      A value of 1 or -1 means that the instruction implementing the
        !           992:      comparison operator returns exactly 1 or -1 when the comparison
        !           993:      is true and 0 when the comparison is false.  Otherwise, the value
        !           994:      indicates which bits of the result are guaranteed to be 1 when
        !           995:      the comparison is true.  This value is interpreted in the mode of
        !           996:      the comparison operation, which is given by the mode of the first
        !           997:      operand in the `sCOND' pattern.  Either the low bit or the sign
        !           998:      bit of `STORE_FLAG_VALUE' be on.  Presently, only those bits are
        !           999:      used by the compiler.
        !          1000: 
        !          1001:      If `STORE_FLAG_VALUE' is neither 1 or -1, the compiler will
        !          1002:      generate code that depends only on the specified bits.  It can
        !          1003:      also replace comparison operators with equivalent operations if
        !          1004:      they cause the required bits to be set, even if the remaining
        !          1005:      bits are undefined.  For example, on a machine whose comparison
        !          1006:      operators return an `SImode' value and where `STORE_FLAG_VALUE'
        !          1007:      is defined as `0x80000000', saying that just the sign bit is
        !          1008:      relevant, the expression
        !          1009: 
        !          1010:           (ne:SI (and:SI X (const_int POWER-OF-2)) (const_int 0))
        !          1011: 
        !          1012:      can be converted to
        !          1013: 
        !          1014:           (ashift:SI X (const_int N))
        !          1015: 
        !          1016:      where N is the appropriate shift count to move the bit being
        !          1017:      tested into the sign bit.
        !          1018: 
        !          1019:      There is no way to describe a machine that always sets the
        !          1020:      low-order bit for a true value, but does not guarantee the value
        !          1021:      of any other bits, but we do not know of any machine that has
        !          1022:      such an instruction.  If you are trying to port GNU CC to such a
        !          1023:      machine, include an instruction to perform a logical-and of the
        !          1024:      result with 1 in the pattern for the comparison operators and let
        !          1025:      us know (*note Bug Reporting::.).
        !          1026: 
        !          1027:      Often, a machine will have multiple instructions that obtain a
        !          1028:      value from a comparison (or the condition codes).  Here are rules
        !          1029:      to guide the choice of value for `STORE_FLAG_VALUE', and hence
        !          1030:      the instructions to be used:
        !          1031: 
        !          1032:         * Use the shortest sequence that yields a valid definition for
        !          1033:           `STORE_FLAG_VALUE'.  It is more efficent for the compiler to
        !          1034:           "normalize" the value (convert it to, e.g., 1 or 0) than for
        !          1035:           the comparison operators to do so because there may be
        !          1036:           opportunities to combine the normalization with other
        !          1037:           operations.
        !          1038: 
        !          1039:         * For equal-length sequences, use a value of 1 or -1, with -1
        !          1040:           being slightly preferred on machines with expensive jumps
        !          1041:           and 1 preferred on other machines.
        !          1042: 
        !          1043:         * As a second choice, choose a value of `0x80000001' if
        !          1044:           instructions exist that set both the sign and low-order bits
        !          1045:           but do not define the others.
        !          1046: 
        !          1047:         * Otherwise, use a value of `0x80000000'.
        !          1048: 
        !          1049:      You need not define `STORE_FLAG_VALUE' if the machine has no
        !          1050:      store-flag instructions.
        !          1051: 
        !          1052: `Pmode'
        !          1053:      An alias for the machine mode for pointers.  Normally the
        !          1054:      definition can be
        !          1055: 
        !          1056:           #define Pmode SImode
        !          1057: 
        !          1058: `FUNCTION_MODE'
        !          1059:      An alias for the machine mode used for memory references to
        !          1060:      functions being called, in `call' RTL expressions.  On most
        !          1061:      machines this should be `QImode'.
        !          1062: 
        !          1063: `INTEGRATE_THRESHOLD (DECL)'
        !          1064:      A C expression for the maximum number of instructions above which
        !          1065:      the function DECL should not be inlined.  DECL is a
        !          1066:      `FUNCTION_DECL' node.
        !          1067: 
        !          1068:      The default definition of this macro is 64 plus 8 times the
        !          1069:      number of arguments that the function accepts.  Some people think
        !          1070:      a larger threshold should be used on RISC machines.
        !          1071: 
        !          1072: `SCCS_DIRECTIVE'
        !          1073:      Define this if the preprocessor should ignore `#sccs' directives
        !          1074:      and print no error message.
        !          1075: 
        !          1076: `HANDLE_PRAGMA (STREAM)'
        !          1077:      Define this macro if you want to implement any pragmas.  If
        !          1078:      defined, it should be a C statement to be executed when `#pragma'
        !          1079:      is seen.  The argument STREAM is the stdio input stream from
        !          1080:      which the source text can be read.
        !          1081: 
        !          1082:      It is generally a bad idea to implement new uses of `#pragma'. 
        !          1083:      The only reason to define this macro is for compatibility with
        !          1084:      other compilers that do support `#pragma' for the sake of any user
        !          1085:      programs which already use it.

        !          1087: `HAVE_VPRINTF'
        !          1088:      Define this if the library function `vprintf' is available on your

        !          1091: `DOLLARS_IN_IDENTIFIERS'
        !          1092:      Define this macro to control use of the character `$' in
        !          1093:      identifier names.  The value should be 0, 1, or 2.  0 means `$'
        !          1094:      is not allowed by default; 1 means it is allowed by default if
        !          1095:      `-traditional' is used; 2 means it is allowed by default provided
        !          1096:      `-ansi' is not used.  1 is the default; there is no need to
        !          1097:      define this macro in that case.
