1.1.1.8 ! root 35: Standard Pattern Names For Generation
! 36: =====================================
1.1.1.3 root 37:
1.1.1.8 ! root 38: Here is a table of the instruction names that are meaningful in the
! 39: RTL generation pass of the compiler. Giving one of these names to an
! 40: instruction pattern tells the RTL generation pass that it can use the
! 41: pattern in to accomplish a certain task.
! 42:
! 43: `movM'
! 44: Here M stands for a two-letter machine mode name, in lower case.
! 45: This instruction pattern moves data with that machine mode from
! 46: operand 1 to operand 0. For example, `movsi' moves full-word data.
! 47:
! 48: If operand 0 is a `subreg' with mode M of a register whose own
! 49: mode is wider than M, the effect of this instruction is to store
! 50: the specified value in the part of the register that corresponds
! 51: to mode M. The effect on the rest of the register is undefined.
! 52:
! 53: This class of patterns is special in several ways. First of all,
! 54: each of these names *must* be defined, because there is no other
! 55: way to copy a datum from one place to another.
! 56:
! 57: Second, these patterns are not used solely in the RTL generation
! 58: pass. Even the reload pass can generate move insns to copy values
! 59: from stack slots into temporary registers. When it does so, one
! 60: of the operands is a hard register and the other is an operand
! 61: that can need to be reloaded into a register.
! 62:
! 63: Therefore, when given such a pair of operands, the pattern must
! 64: generate RTL which needs no reloading and needs no temporary
! 65: registers--no registers other than the operands. For example, if
! 66: you support the pattern with a `define_expand', then in such a
! 67: case the `define_expand' mustn't call `force_reg' or any other such
! 68: function which might generate new pseudo registers.
! 69:
! 70: This requirement exists even for subword modes on a RISC machine
! 71: where fetching those modes from memory normally requires several
! 72: insns and some temporary registers. Look in `spur.md' to see how
! 73: the requirement can be satisfied.
! 74:
! 75: During reload a memory reference with an invalid address may be
! 76: passed as an operand. Such an address will be replaced with a
! 77: valid address later in the reload pass. In this case, nothing may
! 78: be done with the address except to use it as it stands. If it is
! 79: copied, it will not be replaced with a valid address. No attempt
! 80: should be made to make such an address into a valid address and no
! 81: routine (such as `change_address') that will do so may be called.
! 82: Note that `general_operand' will fail when applied to such an
! 83: address.
! 84:
! 85: The global variable `reload_in_progress' (which must be explicitly
! 86: declared if required) can be used to determine whether such special
! 87: handling is required.
! 88:
! 89: The variety of operands that have reloads depends on the rest of
! 90: the machine description, but typically on a RISC machine these can
! 91: only be pseudo registers that did not get hard registers, while on
! 92: other machines explicit memory references will get optional
! 93: reloads.
! 94:
! 95: If a scratch register is required to move an object to or from
! 96: memory, it can be allocated using `gen_reg_rtx' prior to reload.
! 97: But this is impossible during and after reload. If there are
! 98: cases needing scratch registers after reload, you must define
! 99: `SECONDARY_INPUT_RELOAD_CLASS' and perhaps also
! 100: `SECONDARY_OUTPUT_RELOAD_CLASS' to detect them, and provide
! 101: patterns `reload_inM' or `reload_outM' to handle them. *Note
! 102: Register Classes::.
! 103:
! 104: The constraints on a `moveM' must permit moving any hard register
! 105: to any other hard register provided that `HARD_REGNO_MODE_OK'
! 106: permits mode M in both registers and `REGISTER_MOVE_COST' applied
! 107: to their classes returns a value of 2.
! 108:
! 109: It is obligatory to support floating point `moveM' instructions
! 110: into and out of any registers that can hold fixed point values,
! 111: because unions and structures (which have modes `SImode' or
! 112: `DImode') can be in those registers and they may have floating
! 113: point members.
! 114:
! 115: There may also be a need to support fixed point `moveM'
! 116: instructions in and out of floating point registers.
! 117: Unfortunately, I have forgotten why this was so, and I don't know
! 118: whether it is still true. If `HARD_REGNO_MODE_OK' rejects fixed
! 119: point values in floating point registers, then the constraints of
! 120: the fixed point `moveM' instructions must be designed to avoid
! 121: ever trying to reload into a floating point register.
! 122:
! 123: `reload_inM'
! 124: `reload_outM'
! 125: Like `movM', but used when a scratch register is required to move
! 126: between operand 0 and operand 1. Operand 2 describes the scratch
! 127: register. See the discussion of the `SECONDARY_RELOAD_CLASS'
! 128: macro in *note Register Classes::..
! 129:
! 130: `movstrictM'
! 131: Like `movM' except that if operand 0 is a `subreg' with mode M of
! 132: a register whose natural mode is wider, the `movstrictM'
! 133: instruction is guaranteed not to alter any of the register except
! 134: the part which belongs to mode M.
! 135:
! 136: `load_multiple'
! 137: Load several consecutive memory locations into consecutive
! 138: registers. Operand 0 is the first of the consecutive registers,
! 139: operand 1 is the first memory location, and operand 2 is a
! 140: constant: the number of consecutive registers.
! 141:
! 142: Define this only if the target machine really has such an
! 143: instruction; do not define this if the most efficient way of
! 144: loading consecutive registers from memory is to do them one at a
! 145: time.
! 146:
! 147: On some machines, there are restrictions as to which consecutive
! 148: registers can be stored into memory, such as particular starting or
! 149: ending register numbers or only a range of valid counts. For those
! 150: machines, use a `define_expand' (*note Expander Definitions::.)
! 151: and make the pattern fail if the restrictions are not met.
! 152:
! 153: Write the generated insn as a `parallel' with elements being a
! 154: `set' of one register from the appropriate memory location (you may
! 155: also need `use' or `clobber' elements). Use a `match_parallel'
! 156: (*note RTL Template::.) to recognize the insn. See `a29k.md' and
! 157: `rs6000.md' for examples of the use of this insn pattern.
! 158:
! 159: `store_multiple'
! 160: Similar to `load_multiple', but store several consecutive registers
! 161: into consecutive memory locations. Operand 0 is the first of the
! 162: consecutive memory locations, operand 1 is the first register, and
! 163: operand 2 is a constant: the number of consecutive registers.
! 164:
! 165: `addM3'
! 166: Add operand 2 and operand 1, storing the result in operand 0. All
! 167: operands must have mode M. This can be used even on two-address
! 168: machines, by means of constraints requiring operands 1 and 0 to be
! 169: the same location.
! 170:
! 171: `subM3', `mulM3'
! 172: `divM3', `udivM3', `modM3', `umodM3'
! 173: `sminM3', `smaxM3', `uminM3', `umaxM3'
! 174: `andM3', `iorM3', `xorM3'
! 175: Similar, for other arithmetic operations.
! 176:
! 177: `mulhisi3'
! 178: Multiply operands 1 and 2, which have mode `HImode', and store a
! 179: `SImode' product in operand 0.
! 180:
! 181: `mulqihi3', `mulsidi3'
! 182: Similar widening-multiplication instructions of other widths.
! 183:
! 184: `umulqihi3', `umulhisi3', `umulsidi3'
! 185: Similar widening-multiplication instructions that do unsigned
! 186: multiplication.
! 187:
! 188: `mulM3_highpart'
! 189: Perform a signed multiplication of operands 1 and 2, which have
! 190: mode M, and store the most significant half of the product in
! 191: operand 0. The least significant half of the product is discarded.
! 192:
! 193: `umulM3_highpart'
! 194: Similar, but the multiplication is unsigned.
! 195:
! 196: `divmodM4'
! 197: Signed division that produces both a quotient and a remainder.
! 198: Operand 1 is divided by operand 2 to produce a quotient stored in
! 199: operand 0 and a remainder stored in operand 3.
! 200:
! 201: For machines with an instruction that produces both a quotient and
! 202: a remainder, provide a pattern for `divmodM4' but do not provide
! 203: patterns for `divM3' and `modM3'. This allows optimization in the
! 204: relatively common case when both the quotient and remainder are
! 205: computed.
! 206:
! 207: If an instruction that just produces a quotient or just a remainder
! 208: exists and is more efficient than the instruction that produces
! 209: both, write the output routine of `divmodM4' to call
! 210: `find_reg_note' and look for a `REG_UNUSED' note on the quotient
! 211: or remainder and generate the appropriate instruction.
! 212:
! 213: `udivmodM4'
! 214: Similar, but does unsigned division.
! 215:
! 216: `ashlM3'
! 217: Arithmetic-shift operand 1 left by a number of bits specified by
! 218: operand 2, and store the result in operand 0. Here M is the mode
! 219: of operand 0 and operand 1; operand 2's mode is specified by the
! 220: instruction pattern, and the compiler will convert the operand to
! 221: that mode before generating the instruction.
! 222:
! 223: `ashrM3', `lshrM3', `rotlM3', `rotrM3'
! 224: Other shift and rotate instructions, analogous to the `ashlM3'
! 225: instructions.
! 226:
! 227: `negM2'
! 228: Negate operand 1 and store the result in operand 0.
! 229:
! 230: `absM2'
! 231: Store the absolute value of operand 1 into operand 0.
! 232:
! 233: `sqrtM2'
! 234: Store the square root of operand 1 into operand 0.
! 235:
! 236: The `sqrt' built-in function of C always uses the mode which
! 237: corresponds to the C data type `double'.
! 238:
! 239: `ffsM2'
! 240: Store into operand 0 one plus the index of the least significant
! 241: 1-bit of operand 1. If operand 1 is zero, store zero. M is the
! 242: mode of operand 0; operand 1's mode is specified by the instruction
! 243: pattern, and the compiler will convert the operand to that mode
! 244: before generating the instruction.
! 245:
! 246: The `ffs' built-in function of C always uses the mode which
! 247: corresponds to the C data type `int'.
! 248:
! 249: `one_cmplM2'
! 250: Store the bitwise-complement of operand 1 into operand 0.
! 251:
! 252: `cmpM'
! 253: Compare operand 0 and operand 1, and set the condition codes. The
! 254: RTL pattern should look like this:
! 255:
! 256: (set (cc0) (compare (match_operand:M 0 ...)
! 257: (match_operand:M 1 ...)))
! 258:
! 259: `tstM'
! 260: Compare operand 0 against zero, and set the condition codes. The
! 261: RTL pattern should look like this:
! 262:
! 263: (set (cc0) (match_operand:M 0 ...))
! 264:
! 265: `tstM' patterns should not be defined for machines that do not use
! 266: `(cc0)'. Doing so would confuse the optimizer since it would no
! 267: longer be clear which `set' operations were comparisons. The
! 268: `cmpM' patterns should be used instead.
! 269:
! 270: `movstrM'
! 271: Block move instruction. The addresses of the destination and
! 272: source strings are the first two operands, and both are in mode
! 273: `Pmode'. The number of bytes to move is the third operand, in
! 274: mode M.
! 275:
! 276: The fourth operand is the known shared alignment of the source and
! 277: destination, in the form of a `const_int' rtx. Thus, if the
! 278: compiler knows that both source and destination are word-aligned,
! 279: it may provide the value 4 for this operand.
! 280:
! 281: These patterns need not give special consideration to the
! 282: possibility that the source and destination strings might overlap.
! 283:
! 284: `cmpstrM'
! 285: Block compare instruction, with five operands. Operand 0 is the
! 286: output; it has mode M. The remaining four operands are like the
! 287: operands of `movstrM'. The two memory blocks specified are
! 288: compared byte by byte in lexicographic order. The effect of the
! 289: instruction is to store a value in operand 0 whose sign indicates
! 290: the result of the comparison.
! 291:
! 292: Compute the length of a string, with three operands. Operand 0 is
! 293: the result (of mode M), operand 1 is a `mem' referring to the
! 294: first character of the string, operand 2 is the character to
! 295: search for (normally zero), and operand 3 is a constant describing
! 296: the known alignment of the beginning of the string.
! 297:
! 298: `floatMN2'
! 299: Convert signed integer operand 1 (valid for fixed point mode M) to
! 300: floating point mode N and store in operand 0 (which has mode N).
! 301:
! 302: `floatunsMN2'
! 303: Convert unsigned integer operand 1 (valid for fixed point mode M)
! 304: to floating point mode N and store in operand 0 (which has mode N).
! 305:
! 306: `fixMN2'
! 307: Convert operand 1 (valid for floating point mode M) to fixed point
! 308: mode N as a signed number and store in operand 0 (which has mode
! 309: N). This instruction's result is defined only when the value of
! 310: operand 1 is an integer.
! 311:
! 312: `fixunsMN2'
! 313: Convert operand 1 (valid for floating point mode M) to fixed point
! 314: mode N as an unsigned number and store in operand 0 (which has
! 315: mode N). This instruction's result is defined only when the value
! 316: of operand 1 is an integer.
! 317:
! 318: `ftruncM2'
! 319: Convert operand 1 (valid for floating point mode M) to an integer
! 320: value, still represented in floating point mode M, and store it in
! 321: operand 0 (valid for floating point mode M).
! 322:
! 323: `fix_truncMN2'
! 324: Like `fixMN2' but works for any floating point value of mode M by
! 325: converting the value to an integer.
! 326:
! 327: `fixuns_truncMN2'
! 328: Like `fixunsMN2' but works for any floating point value of mode M
! 329: by converting the value to an integer.
! 330:
! 331: `truncMN'
! 332: Truncate operand 1 (valid for mode M) to mode N and store in
! 333: operand 0 (which has mode N). Both modes must be fixed point or
! 334: both floating point.
! 335:
! 336: `extendMN'
! 337: Sign-extend operand 1 (valid for mode M) to mode N and store in
! 338: operand 0 (which has mode N). Both modes must be fixed point or
! 339: both floating point.
! 340:
! 341: `zero_extendMN'
! 342: Zero-extend operand 1 (valid for mode M) to mode N and store in
! 343: operand 0 (which has mode N). Both modes must be fixed point.
! 344:
! 345: `extv'
! 346: Extract a bit field from operand 1 (a register or memory operand),
! 347: where operand 2 specifies the width in bits and operand 3 the
! 348: starting bit, and store it in operand 0. Operand 0 must have mode
! 349: `word_mode'. Operand 1 may have mode `byte_mode' or `word_mode';
! 350: often `word_mode' is allowed only for registers. Operands 2 and 3
! 351: must be valid for `word_mode'.
! 352:
! 353: The RTL generation pass generates this instruction only with
! 354: constants for operands 2 and 3.
! 355:
! 356: The bit-field value is sign-extended to a full word integer before
! 357: it is stored in operand 0.
! 358:
! 359: `extzv'
! 360: Like `extv' except that the bit-field value is zero-extended.
! 361:
! 362: `insv'
! 363: Store operand 3 (which must be valid for `word_mode') into a bit
! 364: field in operand 0, where operand 1 specifies the width in bits and
! 365: operand 2 the starting bit. Operand 0 may have mode `byte_mode' or
! 366: `word_mode'; often `word_mode' is allowed only for registers.
! 367: Operands 1 and 2 must be valid for `word_mode'.
! 368:
! 369: The RTL generation pass generates this instruction only with
! 370: constants for operands 1 and 2.
! 371:
! 372: `movMODEcc'
! 373: Conditionally move operand 2 or operand 3 into operand 0 according
! 374: to the comparison in operand 1. If the comparison is true,
! 375: operand 2 is moved into operand 0, otherwise operand 3 is moved.
! 376:
! 377: The mode of the operands being compared need not be the same as
! 378: the operands being moved. Some machines, sparc64 for example,
! 379: have instructions that conditionally move an integer value based
! 380: on the floating point condition codes and vice versa.
! 381:
! 382: If the machine does not have conditional move instructions, do not
! 383: define these patterns.
! 384:
! 385: `sCOND'
! 386: Store zero or nonzero in the operand according to the condition
! 387: codes. Value stored is nonzero iff the condition COND is true.
! 388: cOND is the name of a comparison operation expression code, such
! 389: as `eq', `lt' or `leu'.
! 390:
! 391: You specify the mode that the operand must have when you write the
! 392: `match_operand' expression. The compiler automatically sees which
! 393: mode you have used and supplies an operand of that mode.
! 394:
! 395: The value stored for a true condition must have 1 as its low bit,
! 396: or else must be negative. Otherwise the instruction is not
! 397: suitable and you should omit it from the machine description. You
! 398: describe to the compiler exactly which value is stored by defining
! 399: the macro `STORE_FLAG_VALUE' (*note Misc::.). If a description
! 400: cannot be found that can be used for all the `sCOND' patterns, you
! 401: should omit those operations from the machine description.
! 402:
! 403: These operations may fail, but should do so only in relatively
! 404: uncommon cases; if they would fail for common cases involving
! 405: integer comparisons, it is best to omit these patterns.
! 406:
! 407: If these operations are omitted, the compiler will usually
! 408: generate code that copies the constant one to the target and
! 409: branches around an assignment of zero to the target. If this code
! 410: is more efficient than the potential instructions used for the
! 411: `sCOND' pattern followed by those required to convert the result
! 412: into a 1 or a zero in `SImode', you should omit the `sCOND'
! 413: operations from the machine description.
! 414:
! 415: `bCOND'
! 416: Conditional branch instruction. Operand 0 is a `label_ref' that
! 417: refers to the label to jump to. Jump if the condition codes meet
! 418: condition COND.
! 419:
! 420: Some machines do not follow the model assumed here where a
! 421: comparison instruction is followed by a conditional branch
! 422: instruction. In that case, the `cmpM' (and `tstM') patterns should
! 423: simply store the operands away and generate all the required insns
! 424: in a `define_expand' (*note Expander Definitions::.) for the
! 425: conditional branch operations. All calls to expand `bCOND'
! 426: patterns are immediately preceded by calls to expand either a
! 427: `cmpM' pattern or a `tstM' pattern.
! 428:
! 429: Machines that use a pseudo register for the condition code value,
! 430: or where the mode used for the comparison depends on the condition
! 431: being tested, should also use the above mechanism. *Note Jump
! 432: Patterns::
! 433:
! 434: The above discussion also applies to the `movMODEcc' and `sCOND'
! 435: patterns.
! 436:
! 437: `call'
! 438: Subroutine call instruction returning no value. Operand 0 is the
! 439: function to call; operand 1 is the number of bytes of arguments
! 440: pushed (in mode `SImode', except it is normally a `const_int');
! 441: operand 2 is the number of registers used as operands.
! 442:
! 443: On most machines, operand 2 is not actually stored into the RTL
! 444: pattern. It is supplied for the sake of some RISC machines which
! 445: need to put this information into the assembler code; they can put
! 446: it in the RTL instead of operand 1.
! 447:
! 448: Operand 0 should be a `mem' RTX whose address is the address of the
! 449: function. Note, however, that this address can be a `symbol_ref'
! 450: expression even if it would not be a legitimate memory address on
! 451: the target machine. If it is also not a valid argument for a call
! 452: instruction, the pattern for this operation should be a
! 453: `define_expand' (*note Expander Definitions::.) that places the
! 454: address into a register and uses that register in the call
! 455: instruction.
! 456:
! 457: `call_value'
! 458: Subroutine call instruction returning a value. Operand 0 is the
! 459: hard register in which the value is returned. There are three more
! 460: operands, the same as the three operands of the `call' instruction
! 461: (but with numbers increased by one).
! 462:
! 463: Subroutines that return `BLKmode' objects use the `call' insn.
! 464:
! 465: `call_pop', `call_value_pop'
! 466: Similar to `call' and `call_value', except used if defined and if
! 467: `RETURN_POPS_ARGS' is non-zero. They should emit a `parallel'
! 468: that contains both the function call and a `set' to indicate the
! 469: adjustment made to the frame pointer.
! 470:
! 471: For machines where `RETURN_POPS_ARGS' can be non-zero, the use of
! 472: these patterns increases the number of functions for which the
! 473: frame pointer can be eliminated, if desired.
! 474:
! 475: `untyped_call'
! 476: Subroutine call instruction returning a value of any type.
! 477: Operand 0 is the function to call; operand 1 is a memory location
! 478: where the result of calling the function is to be stored; operand
! 479: 2 is a `parallel' expression where each element is a `set'
! 480: expression that indicates the saving of a function return value
! 481: into the result block.
! 482:
! 483: This instruction pattern should be defined to support
! 484: `__builtin_apply' on machines where special instructions are needed
! 485: to call a subroutine with arbitrary arguments or to save the value
! 486: returned. This instruction pattern is required on machines that
! 487: have multiple registers that can hold a return value (i.e.
! 488: `FUNCTION_VALUE_REGNO_P' is true for more than one register).
! 489:
! 490: `return'
! 491: Subroutine return instruction. This instruction pattern name
! 492: should be defined only if a single instruction can do all the work
! 493: of returning from a function.
! 494:
! 495: Like the `movM' patterns, this pattern is also used after the RTL
! 496: generation phase. In this case it is to support machines where
! 497: multiple instructions are usually needed to return from a
! 498: function, but some class of functions only requires one
! 499: instruction to implement a return. Normally, the applicable
! 500: functions are those which do not need to save any registers or
! 501: allocate stack space.
! 502:
! 503: For such machines, the condition specified in this pattern should
! 504: only be true when `reload_completed' is non-zero and the function's
! 505: epilogue would only be a single instruction. For machines with
! 506: register windows, the routine `leaf_function_p' may be used to
! 507: determine if a register window push is required.
! 508:
! 509: Machines that have conditional return instructions should define
! 510: patterns such as
! 511:
! 512: (define_insn ""
! 513: [(set (pc)
! 514: (if_then_else (match_operator
! 515: 0 "comparison_operator"
! 516: [(cc0) (const_int 0)])
! 517: (return)
! 518: (pc)))]
! 519: "CONDITION"
! 520: "...")
! 521:
! 522: where CONDITION would normally be the same condition specified on
! 523: the named `return' pattern.
! 524:
! 525: `untyped_return'
! 526: Untyped subroutine return instruction. This instruction pattern
! 527: should be defined to support `__builtin_return' on machines where
! 528: special instructions are needed to return a value of any type.
! 529:
! 530: Operand 0 is a memory location where the result of calling a
! 531: function with `__builtin_apply' is stored; operand 1 is a
! 532: `parallel' expression where each element is a `set' expression
! 533: that indicates the restoring of a function return value from the
! 534: result block.
! 535:
! 536: `nop'
! 537: No-op instruction. This instruction pattern name should always be
! 538: defined to output a no-op in assembler code. `(const_int 0)' will
! 539: do as an RTL pattern.
! 540:
! 541: `indirect_jump'
! 542: An instruction to jump to an address which is operand zero. This
! 543: pattern name is mandatory on all machines.
! 544:
! 545: `casesi'
! 546: Instruction to jump through a dispatch table, including bounds
! 547: checking. This instruction takes five operands:
! 548:
! 549: 1. The index to dispatch on, which has mode `SImode'.
! 550:
! 551: 2. The lower bound for indices in the table, an integer constant.
! 552:
! 553: 3. The total range of indices in the table--the largest index
! 554: minus the smallest one (both inclusive).
! 555:
! 556: 4. A label that precedes the table itself.
! 557:
! 558: 5. A label to jump to if the index has a value outside the
! 559: bounds. (If the machine-description macro
! 560: `CASE_DROPS_THROUGH' is defined, then an out-of-bounds index
! 561: drops through to the code following the jump table instead of
! 562: jumping to this label. In that case, this label is not
! 563: actually used by the `casesi' instruction, but it is always
! 564: provided as an operand.)
! 565:
! 566: The table is a `addr_vec' or `addr_diff_vec' inside of a
! 567: `jump_insn'. The number of elements in the table is one plus the
! 568: difference between the upper bound and the lower bound.
! 569:
! 570: `tablejump'
! 571: Instruction to jump to a variable address. This is a low-level
! 572: capability which can be used to implement a dispatch table when
! 573: there is no `casesi' pattern.
! 574:
! 575: This pattern requires two operands: the address or offset, and a
! 576: label which should immediately precede the jump table. If the
! 577: macro `CASE_VECTOR_PC_RELATIVE' is defined then the first operand
! 578: is an offset which counts from the address of the table;
! 579: otherwise, it is an absolute address to jump to. In either case,
! 580: the first operand has mode `Pmode'.
! 581:
! 582: The `tablejump' insn is always the last insn before the jump table
! 583: it uses. Its assembler code normally has no need to use the
! 584: second operand, but you should incorporate it in the RTL pattern so
! 585: that the jump optimizer will not delete the table as unreachable
! 586: code.
! 587:
! 588: `save_stack_block'
! 589: `save_stack_function'
! 590: `save_stack_nonlocal'
! 591: `restore_stack_block'
! 592: `restore_stack_function'
! 593: `restore_stack_nonlocal'
! 594: Most machines save and restore the stack pointer by copying it to
! 595: or from an object of mode `Pmode'. Do not define these patterns on
! 596: such machines.
! 597:
! 598: Some machines require special handling for stack pointer saves and
! 599: restores. On those machines, define the patterns corresponding to
! 600: the non-standard cases by using a `define_expand' (*note Expander
! 601: Definitions::.) that produces the required insns. The three types
! 602: of saves and restores are:
! 603:
! 604: 1. `save_stack_block' saves the stack pointer at the start of a
! 605: block that allocates a variable-sized object, and
! 606: `restore_stack_block' restores the stack pointer when the
! 607: block is exited.
! 608:
! 609: 2. `save_stack_function' and `restore_stack_function' do a
! 610: similar job for the outermost block of a function and are
! 611: used when the function allocates variable-sized objects or
! 612: calls `alloca'. Only the epilogue uses the restored stack
! 613: pointer, allowing a simpler save or restore sequence on some
! 614: machines.
! 615:
! 616: 3. `save_stack_nonlocal' is used in functions that contain labels
! 617: branched to by nested functions. It saves the stack pointer
! 618: in such a way that the inner function can use
! 619: `restore_stack_nonlocal' to restore the stack pointer. The
! 620: compiler generates code to restore the frame and argument
! 621: pointer registers, but some machines require saving and
! 622: restoring additional data such as register window information
! 623: or stack backchains. Place insns in these patterns to save
! 624: and restore any such required data.
! 625:
! 626: When saving the stack pointer, operand 0 is the save area and
! 627: operand 1 is the stack pointer. The mode used to allocate the
! 628: save area is the mode of operand 0. You must specify an integral
! 629: mode, or `VOIDmode' if no save area is needed for a particular
! 630: type of save (either because no save is needed or because a
! 631: machine-specific save area can be used). Operand 0 is the stack
! 632: pointer and operand 1 is the save area for restore operations. If
! 633: `save_stack_block' is defined, operand 0 must not be `VOIDmode'
! 634: since these saves can be arbitrarily nested.
! 635:
! 636: A save area is a `mem' that is at a constant offset from
! 637: `virtual_stack_vars_rtx' when the stack pointer is saved for use by
! 638: nonlocal gotos and a `reg' in the other two cases.
! 639:
! 640: `allocate_stack'
! 641: Subtract (or add if `STACK_GROWS_DOWNWARD' is undefined) operand 0
! 642: from the stack pointer to create space for dynamically allocated
! 643: data.
! 644:
! 645: Do not define this pattern if all that must be done is the
! 646: subtraction. Some machines require other operations such as stack
! 647: probes or maintaining the back chain. Define this pattern to emit
! 648: those operations in addition to updating the stack pointer.

! 748: ==================================
1.1.1.7 root 749:
1.1.1.8 ! root 750: For most machines, GNU CC assumes that the machine has a condition
! 751: code. A comparison insn sets the condition code, recording the results
! 752: of both signed and unsigned comparison of the given operands. A
! 753: separate branch insn tests the condition code and branches or not
! 754: according its value. The branch insns come in distinct signed and
! 755: unsigned flavors. Many common machines, such as the Vax, the 68000 and
! 756: the 32000, work this way.
! 757:
! 758: Some machines have distinct signed and unsigned compare
! 759: instructions, and only one set of conditional branch instructions. The
! 760: easiest way to handle these machines is to treat them just like the
! 761: others until the final stage where assembly code is written. At this
! 762: time, when outputting code for the compare instruction, peek ahead at
! 763: the following branch using `next_cc0_user (insn)'. (The variable
! 764: `insn' refers to the insn being output, in the output-writing code in
! 765: an instruction pattern.) If the RTL says that is an unsigned branch,
! 766: output an unsigned compare; otherwise output a signed compare. When
! 767: the branch itself is output, you can treat signed and unsigned branches
! 768: identically.
! 769:
! 770: The reason you can do this is that GNU CC always generates a pair of
! 771: consecutive RTL insns, possibly separated by `note' insns, one to set
! 772: the condition code and one to test it, and keeps the pair inviolate
! 773: until the end.
! 774:
! 775: To go with this technique, you must define the machine-description
! 776: macro `NOTICE_UPDATE_CC' to do `CC_STATUS_INIT'; in other words, no
! 777: compare instruction is superfluous.
! 778:
! 779: Some machines have compare-and-branch instructions and no condition
! 780: code. A similar technique works for them. When it is time to "output"
! 781: a compare instruction, record its operands in two static variables.
! 782: When outputting the branch-on-condition-code instruction that follows,
! 783: actually output a compare-and-branch instruction that uses the
! 784: remembered operands.
! 785:
! 786: It also works to define patterns for compare-and-branch instructions.
! 787: In optimizing compilation, the pair of compare and branch instructions
! 788: will be combined according to these patterns. But this does not happen
! 789: if optimization is not requested. So you must use one of the solutions
! 790: above in addition to any special patterns you define.
! 791:
! 792: In many RISC machines, most instructions do not affect the condition
! 793: code and there may not even be a separate condition code register. On
! 794: these machines, the restriction that the definition and use of the
! 795: condition code be adjacent insns is not necessary and can prevent
! 796: important optimizations. For example, on the IBM RS/6000, there is a
! 797: delay for taken branches unless the condition code register is set three
! 798: instructions earlier than the conditional branch. The instruction
! 799: scheduler cannot perform this optimization if it is not permitted to
! 800: separate the definition and use of the condition code register.
! 801:
! 802: On these machines, do not use `(cc0)', but instead use a register to
! 803: represent the condition code. If there is a specific condition code
! 804: register in the machine, use a hard register. If the condition code or
! 805: comparison result can be placed in any general register, or if there are
! 806: multiple condition registers, use a pseudo register.
! 807:
! 808: On some machines, the type of branch instruction generated may
! 809: depend on the way the condition code was produced; for example, on the
! 810: 68k and Sparc, setting the condition code directly from an add or
! 811: subtract instruction does not clear the overflow bit the way that a test
! 812: instruction does, so a different branch instruction must be used for
! 813: some conditional branches. For machines that use `(cc0)', the set and
! 814: use of the condition code must be adjacent (separated only by `note'
! 815: insns) allowing flags in `cc_status' to be used. (*Note Condition
! 816: Code::.) Also, the comparison and branch insns can be located from
! 817: each other by using the functions `prev_cc0_setter' and `next_cc0_user'.
! 818:
! 819: However, this is not true on machines that do not use `(cc0)'. On
! 820: those machines, no assumptions can be made about the adjacency of the
! 821: compare and branch insns and the above methods cannot be used. Instead,
! 822: we use the machine mode of the condition code register to record
! 823: different formats of the condition code register.
! 824:
! 825: Registers used to store the condition code value should have a mode
! 826: that is in class `MODE_CC'. Normally, it will be `CCmode'. If
! 827: additional modes are required (as for the add example mentioned above in
! 828: the Sparc), define the macro `EXTRA_CC_MODES' to list the additional
! 829: modes required (*note Condition Code::.). Also define `EXTRA_CC_NAMES'
! 830: to list the names of those modes and `SELECT_CC_MODE' to choose a mode
! 831: given an operand of a compare.
! 832:
! 833: If it is known during RTL generation that a different mode will be
! 834: required (for example, if the machine has separate compare instructions
! 835: for signed and unsigned quantities, like most IBM processors), they can
! 836: be specified at that time.
! 837:
! 838: If the cases that require different modes would be made by
! 839: instruction combination, the macro `SELECT_CC_MODE' determines which
! 840: machine mode should be used for the comparison result. The patterns
! 841: should be written using that mode. To support the case of the add on
! 842: the Sparc discussed above, we have the pattern

1.1.1.8 ! root 859: Canonicalization of Instructions
! 860: ================================
1.1.1.5 root 861:
1.1.1.8 ! root 862: There are often cases where multiple RTL expressions could represent
! 863: an operation performed by a single machine instruction. This situation
! 864: is most commonly encountered with logical, branch, and
! 865: multiply-accumulate instructions. In such cases, the compiler attempts
! 866: to convert these multiple RTL expressions into a single canonical form
! 867: to reduce the number of insn patterns required.
! 868:
! 869: In addition to algebraic simplifications, following canonicalizations
! 870: are performed:
! 871:
! 872: * For commutative and comparison operators, a constant is always
! 873: made the second operand. If a machine only supports a constant as
! 874: the second operand, only patterns that match a constant in the
! 875: second operand need be supplied.
! 876:
! 877: For these operators, if only one operand is a `neg', `not',
! 878: `mult', `plus', or `minus' expression, it will be the first
! 879: operand.
! 880:
! 881: * For the `compare' operator, a constant is always the second operand
! 882: on machines where `cc0' is used (*note Jump Patterns::.). On other
! 883: machines, there are rare cases where the compiler might want to
! 884: construct a `compare' with a constant as the first operand.
! 885: However, these cases are not common enough for it to be worthwhile
! 886: to provide a pattern matching a constant as the first operand
! 887: unless the machine actually has such an instruction.
! 888:
! 889: An operand of `neg', `not', `mult', `plus', or `minus' is made the
! 890: first operand under the same conditions as above.
! 891:
! 892: * `(minus X (const_int N))' is converted to `(plus X (const_int
! 893: -N))'.
! 894:
! 895: * Within address computations (i.e., inside `mem'), a left shift is
! 896: converted into the appropriate multiplication by a power of two.
! 897:
! 898: De`Morgan's Law is used to move bitwise negation inside a bitwise
! 899: logical-and or logical-or operation. If this results in only one
! 900: operand being a `not' expression, it will be the first one.
! 901:
! 902: A machine that has an instruction that performs a bitwise
! 903: logical-and of one operand with the bitwise negation of the other
! 904: should specify the pattern for that instruction as
! 905:
! 906: (define_insn ""
! 907: [(set (match_operand:M 0 ...)
! 908: (and:M (not:M (match_operand:M 1 ...))
! 909: (match_operand:M 2 ...)))]
! 910: "..."
! 911: "...")
! 912:
! 913: Similarly, a pattern for a "NAND" instruction should be written
! 914:

1.1.1.8 ! root 944: Machine-Specific Peephole Optimizers
! 945: ====================================
1.1.1.3 root 946:
1.1.1.8 ! root 947: In addition to instruction patterns the `md' file may contain
! 948: definitions of machine-specific peephole optimizations.
1.1.1.3 root 949:
1.1.1.8 ! root 950: The combiner does not notice certain peephole optimizations when the
! 951: data flow in the program does not suggest that it should try them. For
! 952: example, sometimes two consecutive insns related in purpose can be
! 953: combined even though the second one does not appear to use a register
! 954: computed in the first one. A machine-specific peephole optimizer can
! 955: detect such opportunities.
! 956:
! 957: A definition looks like this:
! 958:
! 959: (define_peephole
! 960: [INSN-PATTERN-1
! 961: INSN-PATTERN-2
! 962: ...]
! 963: "CONDITION"
! 964: "TEMPLATE"
! 965: "OPTIONAL INSN-ATTRIBUTES")
1.1.1.6 root 966:
1.1.1.8 ! root 967: The last string operand may be omitted if you are not using any
! 968: machine-specific information in this machine description. If present,
! 969: it must obey the same rules as in a `define_insn'.
! 970:
! 971: In this skeleton, INSN-PATTERN-1 and so on are patterns to match
! 972: consecutive insns. The optimization applies to a sequence of insns when
! 973: INSN-PATTERN-1 matches the first one, INSN-PATTERN-2 matches the next,
! 974: and so on.
! 975:
! 976: Each of the insns matched by a peephole must also match a
! 977: `define_insn'. Peepholes are checked only at the last stage just
! 978: before code generation, and only optionally. Therefore, any insn which
! 979: would match a peephole but no `define_insn' will cause a crash in code
! 980: generation in an unoptimized compilation, or at various optimization
! 981: stages.
! 982:
! 983: The operands of the insns are matched with `match_operands',
! 984: `match_operator', and `match_dup', as usual. What is not usual is that
! 985: the operand numbers apply to all the insn patterns in the definition.
! 986: So, you can check for identical operands in two insns by using
! 987: `match_operand' in one insn and `match_dup' in the other.
! 988:
! 989: The operand constraints used in `match_operand' patterns do not have
! 990: any direct effect on the applicability of the peephole, but they will
! 991: be validated afterward, so make sure your constraints are general enough
! 992: to apply whenever the peephole matches. If the peephole matches but
! 993: the constraints are not satisfied, the compiler will crash.
! 994:
! 995: It is safe to omit constraints in all the operands of the peephole;
! 996: or you can write constraints which serve as a double-check on the
! 997: criteria previously tested.
! 998:
! 999: Once a sequence of insns matches the patterns, the CONDITION is
! 1000: checked. This is a C expression which makes the final decision whether
! 1001: to perform the optimization (we do so if the expression is nonzero). If
! 1002: CONDITION is omitted (in other words, the string is empty) then the
! 1003: optimization is applied to every sequence of insns that matches the
! 1004: patterns.
! 1005:
! 1006: The defined peephole optimizations are applied after register
! 1007: allocation is complete. Therefore, the peephole definition can check
! 1008: which operands have ended up in which kinds of registers, just by
! 1009: looking at the operands.
! 1010:
! 1011: The way to refer to the operands in CONDITION is to write
! 1012: `operands[I]' for operand number I (as matched by `(match_operand I
! 1013: ...)'). Use the variable `insn' to refer to the last of the insns
! 1014: being matched; use `prev_active_insn' to find the preceding insns.
! 1015:
! 1016: When optimizing computations with intermediate results, you can use
! 1017: CONDITION to match only when the intermediate results are not used
! 1018: elsewhere. Use the C expression `dead_or_set_p (INSN, OP)', where INSN
! 1019: is the insn in which you expect the value to be used for the last time
! 1020: (from the value of `insn', together with use of `prev_nonnote_insn'),
! 1021: and OP is the intermediate value (from `operands[I]').
! 1022:
! 1023: Applying the optimization means replacing the sequence of insns with
! 1024: one new insn. The TEMPLATE controls ultimate output of assembler code
! 1025: for this combined insn. It works exactly like the template of a
! 1026: `define_insn'. Operand numbers in this template are the same ones used
! 1027: in matching the original sequence of insns.
! 1028:
! 1029: The result of a defined peephole optimizer does not need to match
! 1030: any of the insn patterns in the machine description; it does not even
! 1031: have an opportunity to match them. The peephole optimizer definition
! 1032: itself serves as the insn pattern to control how the insn is output.
! 1033:
! 1034: Defined peephole optimizers are run as assembler code is being
! 1035: output, so the insns they produce are never combined or rearranged in
! 1036: any way.
! 1037:
! 1038: Here is an example, taken from the 68000 machine description:
! 1039:
! 1040: (define_peephole
! 1041: [(set (reg:SI 15) (plus:SI (reg:SI 15) (const_int 4)))
! 1042: (set (match_operand:DF 0 "register_operand" "=f")
! 1043: (match_operand:DF 1 "register_operand" "ad"))]
! 1044: "FP_REG_P (operands[0]) && ! FP_REG_P (operands[1])"
! 1045: "*
! 1046: {
! 1047: rtx xoperands[2];
! 1048: xoperands[1] = gen_rtx (REG, SImode, REGNO (operands[1]) + 1);
! 1049: #ifdef MOTOROLA
! 1050: output_asm_insn (\"move.l %1,(sp)\", xoperands);
! 1051: output_asm_insn (\"move.l %1,-(sp)\", operands);
! 1052: return \"fmove.d (sp)+,%0\";
! 1053: #else
! 1054: output_asm_insn (\"movel %1,sp@\", xoperands);
! 1055: output_asm_insn (\"movel %1,sp@-\", operands);
! 1056: return \"fmoved sp@+,%0\";
! 1057: #endif
! 1058: }
! 1059: ")
! 1060:
! 1061: The effect of this optimization is to change
! 1062:
! 1063: jbsr _foobar
! 1064: addql #4,sp
! 1065: movel d1,sp@-
! 1066: movel d0,sp@-
! 1067: fmoved sp@+,fp0
! 1068:
! 1069: into
! 1070:
! 1071: jbsr _foobar
! 1072: movel d1,sp@
! 1073: movel d0,sp@-
! 1074: fmoved sp@+,fp0
! 1075:
! 1076: INSN-PATTERN-1 and so on look *almost* like the second operand of
! 1077: `define_insn'. There is one important difference: the second operand
! 1078: of `define_insn' consists of one or more RTX's enclosed in square
! 1079: brackets. Usually, there is only one: then the same action can be
! 1080: written as an element of a `define_peephole'. But when there are
! 1081: multiple actions in a `define_insn', they are implicitly enclosed in a
! 1082: `parallel'. Then you must explicitly write the `parallel', and the
! 1083: square brackets within it, in the `define_peephole'. Thus, if an insn
! 1084: pattern looks like this,
! 1085:
! 1086: (define_insn "divmodsi4"
! 1087: [(set (match_operand:SI 0 "general_operand" "=d")
! 1088: (div:SI (match_operand:SI 1 "general_operand" "0")
! 1089: (match_operand:SI 2 "general_operand" "dmsK")))
! 1090: (set (match_operand:SI 3 "general_operand" "=d")
! 1091: (mod:SI (match_dup 1) (match_dup 2)))]
! 1092: "TARGET_68020"
! 1093: "divsl%.l %2,%3:%0")
! 1094:
! 1095: then the way to mention this insn in a peephole is as follows:
! 1096:
! 1097: (define_peephole
! 1098: [...
! 1099: (parallel
! 1100: [(set (match_operand:SI 0 "general_operand" "=d")
! 1101: (div:SI (match_operand:SI 1 "general_operand" "0")
! 1102: (match_operand:SI 2 "general_operand" "dmsK")))
! 1103: (set (match_operand:SI 3 "general_operand" "=d")
! 1104: (mod:SI (match_dup 1) (match_dup 2)))])
! 1105: ...]
! 1106: ...)
