This +variable contains the RTL expressions on which the condition code is +currently based, and several standard flags. + + Sometimes additional machine-specific flags must be defined in the +machine description header file. It can also add additional +machine-specific information by defining `CC_STATUS_MDEP'. + +`CC_STATUS_MDEP' + C code for a data type which is used for declaring the `mdep' + component of `cc_status'. It defaults to `int'. + + This macro is not used on machines that do not use `cc0'. + +`CC_STATUS_MDEP_INIT' + A C expression to initialize the `mdep' field to "empty". The + default definition does nothing, since most machines don't use the + field anyway. If you want to use the field, you should probably + define this macro to initialize it. + + This macro is not used on machines that do not use `cc0'. + +`NOTICE_UPDATE_CC (EXP, INSN)' + A C compound statement to set the components of `cc_status' + appropriately for an insn INSN whose body is EXP. It is this + macro's responsibility to recognize insns that set the condition + code as a byproduct of other activity as well as those that + explicitly set `(cc0)'. + + This macro is not used on machines that do not use `cc0'. + + If there are insns that do not set the condition code but do alter + other machine registers, this macro must check to see whether they + invalidate the expressions that the condition code is recorded as + reflecting. For example, on the 68000, insns that store in address + registers do not set the condition code, which means that usually + `NOTICE_UPDATE_CC' can leave `cc_status' unaltered for such insns. + But suppose that the previous insn set the condition code based + on location `a4@(102)' and the current insn stores a new value in + `a4'. Although the condition code is not changed by this, it will + no longer be true that it reflects the contents of `a4@(102)'. + Therefore, `NOTICE_UPDATE_CC' must alter `cc_status' in this case + to say that nothing is known about the condition code value. + + The definition of `NOTICE_UPDATE_CC' must be prepared to deal with + the results of peephole optimization: insns whose patterns are + `parallel' RTXs containing various `reg', `mem' or constants which + are just the operands. The RTL structure of these insns is not + sufficient to indicate what the insns actually do. What + `NOTICE_UPDATE_CC' should do when it sees one is just to run + `CC_STATUS_INIT'. + + A possible definition of `NOTICE_UPDATE_CC' is to call a function + that looks at an attribute (*note Insn Attributes::.) named, for + example, `cc'. This avoids having detailed information about + patterns in two places, the `md' file and in `NOTICE_UPDATE_CC'. + +`EXTRA_CC_MODES' + A list of names to be used for additional modes for condition code + values in registers (*note Jump Patterns::.). These names are + added to `enum machine_mode' and all have class `MODE_CC'. By + convention, they should start with `CC' and end with `mode'. + + You should only define this macro if your machine does not use + `cc0' and only if additional modes are required. + +`EXTRA_CC_NAMES' + A list of C strings giving the names for the modes listed in + `EXTRA_CC_MODES'. For example, the Sparc defines this macro and + `EXTRA_CC_MODES' as + + #define EXTRA_CC_MODES CC_NOOVmode, CCFPmode, CCFPEmode + #define EXTRA_CC_NAMES "CC_NOOV", "CCFP", "CCFPE" + + This macro is not required if `EXTRA_CC_MODES' is not defined. + +`SELECT_CC_MODE (OP, X, Y)' + Returns a mode from class `MODE_CC' to be used when comparison + operation code OP is applied to rtx X and Y. For example, on the + Sparc, `SELECT_CC_MODE' is defined as (see *note Jump Patterns::. + for a description of the reason for this definition) + + #define SELECT_CC_MODE(OP,X,Y) \ + (GET_MODE_CLASS (GET_MODE (X)) == MODE_FLOAT \ + ? ((OP == EQ || OP == NE) ? CCFPmode : CCFPEmode) \ + : ((GET_CODE (X) == PLUS || GET_CODE (X) == MINUS \ + || GET_CODE (X) == NEG) \ + ? CC_NOOVmode : CCmode)) + + You need not define this macro if `EXTRA_CC_MODES' is not defined. + +`CANONICALIZE_COMPARISON (CODE, OP0, OP1)' + One some machines not all possible comparisons are defined, but + you can convert an invalid comparison into a valid one. For + example, the Alpha does not have a `GT' comparison, but you can + use an `LT' comparison instead and swap the order of the operands. + + On such machines, define this macro to be a C statement to do any + required conversions. CODE is the initial comparison code and OP0 + and OP1 are the left and right operands of the comparison, + respectively. You should modify CODE, OP0, and OP1 as required. + + GNU CC will not assume that the comparison resulting from this + macro is valid but will see if the resulting insn matches a + pattern in the `md' file. + + You need not define this macro if it would never change the + comparison code or operands. + +`REVERSIBLE_CC_MODE (MODE)' + A C expression whose value is one if it is always safe to reverse a + comparison whose mode is MODE. If `SELECT_CC_MODE' can ever + return MODE for a floating-point inequality comparison, then + `REVERSIBLE_CC_MODE (MODE)' must be zero. + + You need not define this macro if it would always returns zero or + if the floating-point format is anything other than + `IEEE_FLOAT_FORMAT'. For example, here is the definition used on + the Sparc, where floating-point inequality comparisons are always + given `CCFPEmode': + + #define REVERSIBLE_CC_MODE(MODE) ((MODE) != CCFPEmode) + + +File: gcc.info, Node: Costs, Next: Sections, Prev: Condition Code, Up: Target Macros + +Describing Relative Costs of Operations +======================================= + + These macros let you describe the relative speed of various +operations on the target machine. + +`CONST_COSTS (X, CODE, OUTER_CODE)' + A part of a C `switch' statement that describes the relative costs + of constant RTL expressions. It must contain `case' labels for + expression codes `const_int', `const', `symbol_ref', `label_ref' + and `const_double'. Each case must ultimately reach a `return' + statement to return the relative cost of the use of that kind of + constant value in an expression. The cost may depend on the + precise value of the constant, which is available for examination + in X, and the rtx code of the expression in which it is contained, + found in OUTER_CODE. + + CODE is the expression code--redundant, since it can be obtained + with `GET_CODE (X)'. + +`RTX_COSTS (X, CODE, OUTER_CODE)' + Like `CONST_COSTS' but applies to nonconstant RTL expressions. + This can be used, for example, to indicate how costly a multiply + instruction is. In writing this macro, you can use the construct + `COSTS_N_INSNS (N)' to specify a cost equal to N fast + instructions. OUTER_CODE is the code of the expression in which X + is contained. + + This macro is optional; do not define it if the default cost + assumptions are adequate for the target machine. + +`ADDRESS_COST (ADDRESS)' + An expression giving the cost of an addressing mode that contains + ADDRESS. If not defined, the cost is computed from the ADDRESS + expression and the `CONST_COSTS' values. + + For most CISC machines, the default cost is a good approximation + of the true cost of the addressing mode. However, on RISC + machines, all instructions normally have the same length and + execution time. Hence all addresses will have equal costs. + + In cases where more than one form of an address is known, the form + with the lowest cost will be used. If multiple forms have the + same, lowest, cost, the one that is the most complex will be used. + + For example, suppose an address that is equal to the sum of a + register and a constant is used twice in the same basic block. + When this macro is not defined, the address will be computed in a + register and memory references will be indirect through that + register. On machines where the cost of the addressing mode + containing the sum is no higher than that of a simple indirect + reference, this will produce an additional instruction and + possibly require an additional register. Proper specification of + this macro eliminates this overhead for such machines. + + Similar use of this macro is made in strength reduction of loops. + + ADDRESS need not be valid as an address. In such a case, the cost + is not relevant and can be any value; invalid addresses need not be + assigned a different cost. + + On machines where an address involving more than one register is as + cheap as an address computation involving only one register, + defining `ADDRESS_COST' to reflect this can cause two registers to + be live over a region of code where only one would have been if + `ADDRESS_COST' were not defined in that manner. This effect should + be considered in the definition of this macro. Equivalent costs + should probably only be given to addresses with different numbers + of registers on machines with lots of registers. + + This macro will normally either not be defined or be defined as a + constant. + +`REGISTER_MOVE_COST (FROM, TO)' + A C expression for the cost of moving data from a register in class + FROM to one in class TO. The classes are expressed using the + enumeration values such as `GENERAL_REGS'. A value of 4 is the + default; other values are interpreted relative to that. + + It is not required that the cost always equal 2 when FROM is the + same as TO; on some machines it is expensive to move between + registers if they are not general registers. + + If reload sees an insn consisting of a single `set' between two + hard registers, and if `REGISTER_MOVE_COST' applied to their + classes returns a value of 2, reload does not check to ensure that + the constraints of the insn are met. Setting a cost of other than + 2 will allow reload to verify that the constraints are met. You + should do this if the `movM' pattern's constraints do not allow + such copying. + +`MEMORY_MOVE_COST (M)' + A C expression for the cost of moving data of mode M between a + register and memory. A value of 2 is the default; this cost is + relative to those in `REGISTER_MOVE_COST'. + + If moving between registers and memory is more expensive than + between two registers, you should define this macro to express the + relative cost. + +`BRANCH_COST' + A C expression for the cost of a branch instruction. A value of 1 + is the default; other values are interpreted relative to that. + + Here are additional macros which do not specify precise relative +costs, but only that certain actions are more expensive than GNU CC +would ordinarily expect. + +`SLOW_BYTE_ACCESS' + Define this macro as a C expression which is nonzero if accessing + less than a word of memory (i.e. a `char' or a `short') is no + faster than accessing a word of memory, i.e., if such access + require more than one instruction or if there is no difference in + cost between byte and (aligned) word loads. + + When this macro is not defined, the compiler will access a field by + finding the smallest containing object; when it is defined, a + fullword load will be used if alignment permits. Unless bytes + accesses are faster than word accesses, using word accesses is + preferable since it may eliminate subsequent memory access if + subsequent accesses occur to other fields in the same word of the + structure, but to different bytes. + +`SLOW_ZERO_EXTEND' + Define this macro if zero-extension (of a `char' or `short' to an + `int') can be done faster if the destination is a register that is + known to be zero. + + If you define this macro, you must have instruction patterns that + recognize RTL structures like this: + + (set (strict_low_part (subreg:QI (reg:SI ...) 0)) ...) + + and likewise for `HImode'. + +`SLOW_UNALIGNED_ACCESS' + Define this macro to be the value 1 if unaligned accesses have a + cost many times greater than aligned accesses, for example if they + are emulated in a trap handler. + + When this macro is non-zero, the compiler will act as if + `STRICT_ALIGNMENT' were non-zero when generating code for block + moves. This can cause significantly more instructions to be + produced. Therefore, do not set this macro non-zero if unaligned + accesses only add a cycle or two to the time for a memory access. + + If the value of this macro is always zero, it need not be defined. + +`DONT_REDUCE_ADDR' + Define this macro to inhibit strength reduction of memory + addresses. (On some machines, such strength reduction seems to do + harm rather than good.) + +`MOVE_RATIO' + The number of scalar move insns which should be generated instead + of a string move insn or a library call. Increasing the value + will always make code faster, but eventually incurs high cost in + increased code size. + + If you don't define this, a reasonable default is used. + +`NO_FUNCTION_CSE' + Define this macro if it is as good or better to call a constant + function address than to call an address kept in a register. + +`NO_RECURSIVE_FUNCTION_CSE' + Define this macro if it is as good or better for a function to call + itself with an explicit address than to call an address kept in a + register. + +`ADJUST_COST (INSN, LINK, DEP_INSN, COST)' + A C statement (sans semicolon) to update the integer variable COST + based on the relationship between INSN that is dependent on + DEP_INSN through the dependence LINK. The default is to make no + adjustment to COST. This can be used for example to specify to + the scheduler that an output- or anti-dependence does not incur + the same cost as a data-dependence. + + +File: gcc.info, Node: Sections, Next: PIC, Prev: Costs, Up: Target Macros + +Dividing the Output into Sections (Texts, Data, ...) +==================================================== + + An object file is divided into sections containing different types of +data. In the most common case, there are three sections: the "text +section", which holds instructions and read-only data; the "data +section", which holds initialized writable data; and the "bss section", +which holds uninitialized data. Some systems have other kinds of +sections. + + The compiler must tell the assembler when to switch sections. These +macros control what commands to output to tell the assembler this. You +can also define additional sections. + +`TEXT_SECTION_ASM_OP' + A C expression whose value is a string containing the assembler + operation that should precede instructions and read-only data. + Normally `".text"' is right. + +`DATA_SECTION_ASM_OP' + A C expression whose value is a string containing the assembler + operation to identify the following data as writable initialized + data. Normally `".data"' is right. + +`SHARED_SECTION_ASM_OP' + if defined, a C expression whose value is a string containing the + assembler operation to identify the following data as shared data. + If not defined, `DATA_SECTION_ASM_OP' will be used. `INIT_SECTION_ASM_OP' - If defined, a C string constant for the assembler operation to - identify the following data as initialization code. If not - defined, GNU CC will assume such a section does not exist. When - you are using special sections for initialization and termination - functions, this macro also controls how `crtstuff.c' and - `libgcc2.c' arrange to run the initialization functions. - -`ASM_OUTPUT_CONSTRUCTOR (STREAM, NAME)' - Define this macro as a C statement to output on the stream STREAM - the assembler code to arrange to call the function named NAME at - initialization time. - - Assume that NAME is the name of a C function generated - automatically by the compiler. This function takes no arguments. - Use the function `assemble_name' to output the name NAME; this - performs any system-specific syntactic transformations such as - adding an underscore. - - If you don't define this macro, nothing special is output to - arrange to call the function. This is correct when the function - will be called in some other manner--for example, by means of the - `collect2' program, which looks through the symbol table to find - these functions by their names. - -`ASM_OUTPUT_DESTRUCTOR (STREAM, NAME)' - This is like `ASM_OUTPUT_CONSTRUCTOR' but used for termination - functions rather than initialization functions. - - If your system uses `collect2' as the means of processing -constructors, then that program normally uses `nm' to scan an object -file for constructor functions to be called. On certain kinds of -systems, you can define these macros to make `collect2' work faster -(and, in some cases, make it work at all): - -`OBJECT_FORMAT_COFF' - Define this macro if the system uses COFF (Common Object File - Format) object files, so that `collect2' can assume this format - and scan object files directly for dynamic constructor/destructor - functions. - -`OBJECT_FORMAT_ROSE' - Define this macro if the system uses ROSE format object files, so - that `collect2' can assume this format and scan object files - directly for dynamic constructor/destructor functions. - - These macros are effective only in a native compiler; `collect2' as -part of a cross compiler always uses `nm'. - -`REAL_NM_FILE_NAME' - Define this macro as a C string constant containing the file name - to use to execute `nm'. The default is to search the path - normally for `nm'. - - -File: gcc.info, Node: Instruction Output, Next: Dispatch Tables, Prev: Macros for Initialization, Up: Assembler Format + if defined, a C expression whose value is a string containing the + assembler operation to identify the following data as + initialization code. If not defined, GNU CC will assume such a + section does not exist. + +`EXTRA_SECTIONS' + A list of names for sections other than the standard two, which are + `in_text' and `in_data'. You need not define this macro on a + system with no other sections (that GCC needs to use). + +`EXTRA_SECTION_FUNCTIONS' + One or more functions to be defined in `varasm.c'. These + functions should do jobs analogous to those of `text_section' and + `data_section', for your additional sections. Do not define this + macro if you do not define `EXTRA_SECTIONS'. + +`READONLY_DATA_SECTION' + On most machines, read-only variables, constants, and jump tables + are placed in the text section. If this is not the case on your + machine, this macro should be defined to be the name of a function + (either `data_section' or a function defined in `EXTRA_SECTIONS') + that switches to the section to be used for read-only items. + + If these items should be placed in the text section, this macro + should not be defined. + +`SELECT_SECTION (EXP, RELOC)' + A C statement or statements to switch to the appropriate section + for output of EXP. You can assume that EXP is either a `VAR_DECL' + node or a constant of some sort. RELOC indicates whether the + initial value of EXP requires link-time relocations. Select the + section by calling `text_section' or one of the alternatives for + other sections. + + Do not define this macro if you put all read-only variables and + constants in the read-only data section (usually the text section). + +`SELECT_RTX_SECTION (MODE, RTX)' + A C statement or statements to switch to the appropriate section + for output of RTX in mode MODE. You can assume that RTX is some + kind of constant in RTL. The argument MODE is redundant except in + the case of a `const_int' rtx. Select the section by calling + `text_section' or one of the alternatives for other sections. + + Do not define this macro if you put all constants in the read-only + data section. + +`JUMP_TABLES_IN_TEXT_SECTION' + Define this macro if jump tables (for `tablejump' insns) should be + output in the text section, along with the assembler instructions. + Otherwise, the readonly data section is used. + + This macro is irrelevant if there is no separate readonly data + section. + +`ENCODE_SECTION_INFO (DECL)' + Define this macro if references to a symbol must be treated + differently depending on something about the variable or function + named by the symbol (such as what section it is in). + + The macro definition, if any, is executed immediately after the + rtl for DECL has been created and stored in `DECL_RTL (DECL)'. + The value of the rtl will be a `mem' whose address is a + `symbol_ref'. + + The usual thing for this macro to do is to record a flag in the + `symbol_ref' (such as `SYMBOL_REF_FLAG') or to store a modified + name string in the `symbol_ref' (if one bit is not enough + information). + +`STRIP_NAME_ENCODING (VAR, SYM_NAME)' + Decode SYM_NAME and store the real name part in VAR, sans the + characters that encode section info. Define this macro if + `ENCODE_SECTION_INFO' alters the symbol's name string. + + +File: gcc.info, Node: PIC, Next: Assembler Format, Prev: Sections, Up: Target Macros + +Position Independent Code +========================= + + This section describes macros that help implement generation of +position independent code. Simply defining these macros is not enough +to generate valid PIC; you must also add support to the macros +`GO_IF_LEGITIMATE_ADDRESS' and `PRINT_OPERAND_ADDRESS', as well as +`LEGITIMIZE_ADDRESS'. You must modify the definition of `movsi' to do +something appropriate when the source operand contains a symbolic +address. You may also need to alter the handling of switch statements +so that they use relative addresses. + +`PIC_OFFSET_TABLE_REGNUM' + The register number of the register used to address a table of + static data addresses in memory. In some cases this register is + defined by a processor's "application binary interface" (ABI). + When this macro is defined, RTL is generated for this register + once, as with the stack pointer and frame pointer registers. If + this macro is not defined, it is up to the machine-dependent files + to allocate such a register (if necessary). + + findex PIC_OFFSET_TABLE_REG_CALL_CLOBBERED + +`PIC_OFFSET_TABLE_REG_CALL_CLOBBERED' + Define this macro if the register defined by + `PIC_OFFSET_TABLE_REGNUM' is clobbered by calls. Do not define + this macro if `PPIC_OFFSET_TABLE_REGNUM' is not defined. + +`FINALIZE_PIC' + By generating position-independent code, when two different + programs (A and B) share a common library (libC.a), the text of + the library can be shared whether or not the library is linked at + the same address for both programs. In some of these + environments, position-independent code requires not only the use + of different addressing modes, but also special code to enable the + use of these addressing modes. + + The `FINALIZE_PIC' macro serves as a hook to emit these special + codes once the function is being compiled into assembly code, but + not before. (It is not done before, because in the case of + compiling an inline function, it would lead to multiple PIC + prologues being included in functions which used inline functions + and were compiled to assembly language.) + +`LEGITIMATE_PIC_OPERAND_P (X)' + A C expression that is nonzero if X is a legitimate immediate + operand on the target machine when generating position independent + code. You can assume that X satisfies `CONSTANT_P', so you need + not check this. You can also assume FLAG_PIC is true, so you need + not check it either. You need not define this macro if all + constants (including `SYMBOL_REF') can be immediate operands when + generating position independent code. + + +File: gcc.info, Node: Assembler Format, Next: Debugging Info, Prev: PIC, Up: Target Macros + +Defining the Output Assembler Language +====================================== + + This section describes macros whose principal purpose is to describe +how to write instructions in assembler language-rather than what the +instructions do. -Output of Assembler Instructions --------------------------------- - -`REGISTER_NAMES' - A C initializer containing the assembler's names for the machine - registers, each one as a C string constant. This is what - translates register numbers in the compiler into assembler - language. - -`ADDITIONAL_REGISTER_NAMES' - If defined, a C initializer for an array of structures containing - a name and a register number. This macro defines additional names - for hard registers, thus allowing the `asm' option in declarations - to refer to registers using alternate names. - -`ASM_OUTPUT_OPCODE (STREAM, PTR)' - Define this macro if you are using an unusual assembler that - requires different names for the machine instructions. - - The definition is a C statement or statements which output an - assembler instruction opcode to the stdio stream STREAM. The - macro-operand PTR is a variable of type `char *' which points to - the opcode name in its "internal" form--the form that is written - in the machine description. The definition should output the - opcode name to STREAM, performing any translation you desire, and - increment the variable PTR to point at the end of the opcode so - that it will not be output twice. - - In fact, your macro definition may process less than the entire - opcode name, or more than the opcode name; but if you want to - process text that includes `%'-sequences to substitute operands, - you must take care of the substitution yourself. Just be sure to - increment PTR over whatever text should not be output normally. - - If you need to look at the operand values, they can be found as the - elements of `recog_operand'. - - If the macro definition does nothing, the instruction is output in - the usual way. - -`FINAL_PRESCAN_INSN (INSN, OPVEC, NOPERANDS)' - If defined, a C statement to be executed just prior to the output - of assembler code for INSN, to modify the extracted operands so - they will be output differently. - - Here the argument OPVEC is the vector containing the operands - extracted from INSN, and NOPERANDS is the number of elements of - the vector which contain meaningful data for this insn. The - contents of this vector are what will be used to convert the insn - template into assembler code, so you can change the assembler - output by changing the contents of the vector. - - This macro is useful when various assembler syntaxes share a single - file of instruction patterns; by defining this macro differently, - you can cause a large class of instructions to be output - differently (such as with rearranged operands). Naturally, - variations in assembler syntax affecting individual insn patterns - ought to be handled by writing conditional output routines in - those patterns. - - If this macro is not defined, it is equivalent to a null statement. - -`PRINT_OPERAND (STREAM, X, CODE)' - A C compound statement to output to stdio stream STREAM the - assembler syntax for an instruction operand X. X is an RTL - expression. - - CODE is a value that can be used to specify one of several ways of - printing the operand. It is used when identical operands must be - printed differently depending on the context. CODE comes from the - `%' specification that was used to request printing of the - operand. If the specification was just `%DIGIT' then CODE is 0; - if the specification was `%LTR DIGIT' then CODE is the ASCII code - for LTR. - - If X is a register, this macro should print the register's name. - The names can be found in an array `reg_names' whose type is `char - *[]'. `reg_names' is initialized from `REGISTER_NAMES'. - - When the machine description has a specification `%PUNCT' (a `%' - followed by a punctuation character), this macro is called with a - null pointer for X and the punctuation character for CODE. - -`PRINT_OPERAND_PUNCT_VALID_P (CODE)' - A C expression which evaluates to true if CODE is a valid - punctuation character for use in the `PRINT_OPERAND' macro. If - `PRINT_OPERAND_PUNCT_VALID_P' is not defined, it means that no - punctuation characters (except for the standard one, `%') are used - in this way. - -`PRINT_OPERAND_ADDRESS (STREAM, X)' - A C compound statement to output to stdio stream STREAM the - assembler syntax for an instruction operand that is a memory - reference whose address is X. X is an RTL expression. - - On some machines, the syntax for a symbolic address depends on the - section that the address refers to. On these machines, define the - macro `ENCODE_SECTION_INFO' to store the information into the - `symbol_ref', and then check for it here. *Note Assembler - Format::. - -`DBR_OUTPUT_SEQEND(FILE)' - A C statement, to be executed after all slot-filler instructions - have been output. If necessary, call `dbr_sequence_length' to - determine the number of slots filled in a sequence (zero if not - currently outputting a sequence), to decide how many no-ops to - output, or whatever. - - Don't define this macro if it has nothing to do, but it is helpful - in reading assembly output if the extent of the delay sequence is - made explicit (e.g. with white space). - - Note that output routines for instructions with delay slots must be - prepared to deal with not being output as part of a sequence (i.e. - when the scheduling pass is not run, or when no slot fillers could - be found.) The variable `final_sequence' is null when not - processing a sequence, otherwise it contains the `sequence' rtx - being output. - -`REGISTER_PREFIX' -`LOCAL_LABEL_PREFIX' -`USER_LABEL_PREFIX' -`IMMEDIATE_PREFIX' - If defined, C string expressions to be used for the `%R', `%L', - `%U', and `%I' options of `asm_fprintf' (see `final.c'). These - are useful when a single `md' file must support multiple assembler - formats.

If you - don't define this macro, `.stabn' is used. This macro applies - only to DBX debugging information format. - -`DBX_NO_XREFS' - Define this macro if DBX on your system does not support the - construct `xsTAGNAME'. On some systems, this construct is used to - describe a forward reference to a structure named TAGNAME. On - other systems, this construct is not supported at all. - -`DBX_CONTIN_LENGTH' - A symbol name in DBX-format debugging information is normally - continued (split into two separate `.stabs' directives) when it - exceeds a certain length (by default, 80 characters). On some - operating systems, DBX requires this splitting; on others, - splitting must not be done. You can inhibit splitting by defining - this macro with the value zero. You can override the default - splitting-length by defining this macro as an expression for the - length you desire. - -`DBX_CONTIN_CHAR' - Normally continuation is indicated by adding a `\' character to - the end of a `.stabs' string when a continuation follows.

Use the + expression `assemble_name (STREAM, NAME)' to output the name + itself; before and after that, output the additional assembler + syntax for defining the name, and a newline. + +`ASM_DECLARE_FUNCTION_NAME (STREAM, NAME, DECL)' + A C statement (sans semicolon) to output to the stdio stream + STREAM any text necessary for declaring the name NAME of a + function which is being defined. This macro is responsible for + outputting the label definition (perhaps using + `ASM_OUTPUT_LABEL'). The argument DECL is the `FUNCTION_DECL' + tree node representing the function. + + If this macro is not defined, then the function name is defined in + the usual manner as a label (by means of `ASM_OUTPUT_LABEL'). + +`ASM_DECLARE_FUNCTION_SIZE (STREAM, NAME, DECL)' + A C statement (sans semicolon) to output to the stdio stream + STREAM any text necessary for declaring the size of a function + which is being defined. The argument NAME is the name of the + function. The argument DECL is the `FUNCTION_DECL' tree node + representing the function. + + If this macro is not defined, then the function size is not + defined. + +`ASM_DECLARE_OBJECT_NAME (STREAM, NAME, DECL)' + A C statement (sans semicolon) to output to the stdio stream + STREAM any text necessary for declaring the name NAME of an + initialized variable which is being defined. This macro must + output the label definition (perhaps using `ASM_OUTPUT_LABEL'). + The argument DECL is the `VAR_DECL' tree node representing the + variable. - -File: gcc.info, Node: Cross-compilation, Next: Misc, Prev: Debugging Info, Up: Target Macros + If this macro is not defined, then the variable name is defined in + the usual manner as a label (by means of `ASM_OUTPUT_LABEL'). -Cross Compilation and Floating Point -==================================== +`ASM_FINISH_DECLARE_OBJECT (STREAM, DECL, TOPLEVEL, ATEND)' + A C statement (sans semicolon) to finish up declaring a variable + name once the compiler has processed its initializer fully and + thus has had a chance to determine the size of an array when + controlled by an initializer. This is used on systems where it's + necessary to declare something about the size of the object. + + If you don't define this macro, that is equivalent to defining it + to do nothing. + +`ASM_GLOBALIZE_LABEL (STREAM, NAME)' + A C statement (sans semicolon) to output to the stdio stream + STREAM some commands that will make the label NAME global; that + is, available for reference from other files. Use the expression + `assemble_name (STREAM, NAME)' to output the name itself; before + and after that, output the additional assembler syntax for making + that name global, and a newline. + +`ASM_OUTPUT_EXTERNAL (STREAM, DECL, NAME)' + A C statement (sans semicolon) to output to the stdio stream + STREAM any text necessary for declaring the name of an external + symbol named NAME which is referenced in this compilation but not + defined. The value of DECL is the tree node for the declaration. + + This macro need not be defined if it does not need to output + anything. The GNU assembler and most Unix assemblers don't + require anything. + +`ASM_OUTPUT_EXTERNAL_LIBCALL (STREAM, SYMREF)' + A C statement (sans semicolon) to output on STREAM an assembler + pseudo-op to declare a library function name external. The name + of the library function is given by SYMREF, which has type `rtx' + and is a `symbol_ref'. + + This macro need not be defined if it does not need to output + anything. The GNU assembler and most Unix assemblers don't + require anything. + +`ASM_OUTPUT_LABELREF (STREAM, NAME)' + A C statement (sans semicolon) to output to the stdio stream + STREAM a reference in assembler syntax to a label named NAME. + This should add `_' to the front of the name, if that is customary + on your operating system, as it is in most Berkeley Unix systems. + This macro is used in `assemble_name'. + +`ASM_OUTPUT_INTERNAL_LABEL (STREAM, PREFIX, NUM)' + A C statement to output to the stdio stream STREAM a label whose + name is made from the string PREFIX and the number NUM. + + It is absolutely essential that these labels be distinct from the + labels used for user-level functions and variables. Otherwise, + certain programs will have name conflicts with internal labels. + + It is desirable to exclude internal labels from the symbol table + of the object file. Most assemblers have a naming convention for + labels that should be excluded; on many systems, the letter `L' at + the beginning of a label has this effect. You should find out what + convention your system uses, and follow it. + + The usual definition of this macro is as follows: + + fprintf (STREAM, "L%s%d:\n", PREFIX, NUM) + +`ASM_GENERATE_INTERNAL_LABEL (STRING, PREFIX, NUM)' + A C statement to store into the string STRING a label whose name + is made from the string PREFIX and the number NUM. + + This string, when output subsequently by `assemble_name', should + produce the output that `ASM_OUTPUT_INTERNAL_LABEL' would produce + with the same PREFIX and NUM. + + If the string begins with `*', then `assemble_name' will output + the rest of the string unchanged. It is often convenient for + `ASM_GENERATE_INTERNAL_LABEL' to use `*' in this way. If the + string doesn't start with `*', then `ASM_OUTPUT_LABELREF' gets to + output the string, and may change it. (Of course, + `ASM_OUTPUT_LABELREF' is also part of your machine description, so + you should know what it does on your machine.) + +`ASM_FORMAT_PRIVATE_NAME (OUTVAR, NAME, NUMBER)' + A C expression to assign to OUTVAR (which is a variable of type + `char *') a newly allocated string made from the string NAME and + the number NUMBER, with some suitable punctuation added. Use + `alloca' to get space for the string. + + The string will be used as an argument to `ASM_OUTPUT_LABELREF' to + produce an assembler label for an internal static variable whose + name is NAME. Therefore, the string must be such as to result in + valid assembler code. The argument NUMBER is different each time + this macro is executed; it prevents conflicts between + similarly-named internal static variables in different scopes. + + Ideally this string should not be a valid C identifier, to prevent + any conflict with the user's own symbols. Most assemblers allow + periods or percent signs in assembler symbols; putting at least + one of these between the name and the number will suffice. + +`ASM_OUTPUT_DEF (STREAM, NAME, VALUE)' + A C statement to output to the stdio stream STREAM assembler code + which defines (equates) the symbol NAME to have the value VALUE. + + If SET_ASM_OP is defined, a default definition is provided which is + correct for most systems. + +`OBJC_GEN_METHOD_LABEL (BUF, IS_INST, CLASS_NAME, CAT_NAME, SEL_NAME)' + Define this macro to override the default assembler names used for + Objective C methods. + + The default name is a unique method number followed by the name of + the class (e.g. `_1_Foo'). For methods in categories, the name of + the category is also included in the assembler name (e.g. + `_1_Foo_Bar'). + + These names are safe on most systems, but make debugging difficult + since the method's selector is not present in the name. + Therefore, particular systems define other ways of computing names. + + BUF is an expression of type `char *' which gives you a buffer in + which to store the name; its length is as long as CLASS_NAME, + CAT_NAME and SEL_NAME put together, plus 50 characters extra. + + The argument IS_INST specifies whether the method is an instance + method or a class method; CLASS_NAME is the name of the class; + CAT_NAME is the name of the category (or NULL if the method is not + in a category); and SEL_NAME is the name of the selector. - While all modern machines use 2's complement representation for -integers, there are a variety of representations for floating point -numbers. This means that in a cross-compiler the representation of -floating point numbers in the compiled program may be different from -that used in the machine doing the compilation. - - Because different representation systems may offer different amounts -of range and precision, the cross compiler cannot safely use the host -machine's floating point arithmetic. Therefore, floating point -constants must be represented in the target machine's format. This -means that the cross compiler cannot use `atof' to parse a floating -point constant; it must have its own special routine to use instead. -Also, constant folding must emulate the target machine's arithmetic (or -must not be done at all). - - The macros in the following table should be defined only if you are -cross compiling between different floating point formats. - - Otherwise, don't define them. Then default definitions will be set -up which use `double' as the data type, `==' to test for equality, etc. - - You don't need to worry about how many times you use an operand of -any of these macros. The compiler never uses operands which have side -effects. - -`REAL_VALUE_TYPE' - A macro for the C data type to be used to hold a floating point - value in the target machine's format. Typically this would be a - `struct' containing an array of `int'. - -`REAL_VALUES_EQUAL (X, Y)' - A macro for a C expression which compares for equality the two - values, X and Y, both of type `REAL_VALUE_TYPE'. - -`REAL_VALUES_LESS (X, Y)' - A macro for a C expression which tests whether X is less than Y, - both values being of type `REAL_VALUE_TYPE' and interpreted as - floating point numbers in the target machine's representation. - -`REAL_VALUE_LDEXP (X, SCALE)' - A macro for a C expression which performs the standard library - function `ldexp', but using the target machine's floating point - representation. Both X and the value of the expression have type - `REAL_VALUE_TYPE'. The second argument, SCALE, is an integer. - -`REAL_VALUE_FIX (X)' - A macro whose definition is a C expression to convert the - target-machine floating point value X to a signed integer. X has - type `REAL_VALUE_TYPE'. - -`REAL_VALUE_UNSIGNED_FIX (X)' - A macro whose definition is a C expression to convert the - target-machine floating point value X to an unsigned integer. X - has type `REAL_VALUE_TYPE'. - -`REAL_VALUE_RNDZINT (X)' - A macro whose definition is a C expression to round the - target-machine floating point value X towards zero to an integer - value (but still as a floating point number). X has type - `REAL_VALUE_TYPE', and so does the value. - -`REAL_VALUE_UNSIGNED_RNDZINT (X)' - A macro whose definition is a C expression to round the - target-machine floating point value X towards zero to an unsigned - integer value (but still represented as a floating point number). - x has type `REAL_VALUE_TYPE', and so does the value. - -`REAL_VALUE_ATOF (STRING, MODE)' - A macro for a C expression which converts STRING, an expression of - type `char *', into a floating point number in the target machine's - representation for mode MODE. The value has type - `REAL_VALUE_TYPE'. - -`REAL_INFINITY' - Define this macro if infinity is a possible floating point value, - and therefore division by 0 is legitimate. - -`REAL_VALUE_ISINF (X)' - A macro for a C expression which determines whether X, a floating - point value, is infinity. The value has type `int'. By default, - this is defined to call `isinf'. - -`REAL_VALUE_ISNAN (X)' - A macro for a C expression which determines whether X, a floating - point value, is a "nan" (not-a-number). The value has type `int'. - By default, this is defined to call `isnan'. - - Define the following additional macros if you want to make floating -point constant folding work while cross compiling. If you don't define -them, cross compilation is still possible, but constant folding will -not happen for floating point values. - -`REAL_ARITHMETIC (OUTPUT, CODE, X, Y)' - A macro for a C statement which calculates an arithmetic operation - of the two floating point values X and Y, both of type - `REAL_VALUE_TYPE' in the target machine's representation, to - produce a result of the same type and representation which is - stored in OUTPUT (which will be a variable). - - The operation to be performed is specified by CODE, a tree code - which will always be one of the following: `PLUS_EXPR', - `MINUS_EXPR', `MULT_EXPR', `RDIV_EXPR', `MAX_EXPR', `MIN_EXPR'. - - The expansion of this macro is responsible for checking for - overflow. If overflow happens, the macro expansion should execute - the statement `return 0;', which indicates the inability to - perform the arithmetic operation requested. - -`REAL_VALUE_NEGATE (X)' - A macro for a C expression which returns the negative of the - floating point value X. Both X and the value of the expression - have type `REAL_VALUE_TYPE' and are in the target machine's - floating point representation. - - There is no way for this macro to report overflow, since overflow - can't happen in the negation operation. - -`REAL_VALUE_TRUNCATE (MODE, X)' - A macro for a C expression which converts the floating point value - X to mode MODE. - - Both X and the value of the expression are in the target machine's - floating point representation and have type `REAL_VALUE_TYPE'. - However, the value should have an appropriate bit pattern to be - output properly as a floating constant whose precision accords - with mode MODE. - - There is no way for this macro to report overflow. - -`REAL_VALUE_TO_INT (LOW, HIGH, X)' - A macro for a C expression which converts a floating point value X - into a double-precision integer which is then stored into LOW and - HIGH, two variables of type INT. - -`REAL_VALUE_FROM_INT (X, LOW, HIGH)' - A macro for a C expression which converts a double-precision - integer found in LOW and HIGH, two variables of type INT, into a - floating point value which is then stored into X. + On systems where the assembler can handle quoted names, you can + use this macro to provide more human-readable names.
