### 14.9 Standard Pattern Names For Generation

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

mov m
  Here m stands for a two-letter machine mode name, in lowercase. This instruction pattern moves data with that machine mode from operand 1 to operand 0. For example, movsi moves full-word data.

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

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

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

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

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

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

  The global variable `reload_in_progress` (which must be explicitly declared if required) can be used to determine whether such special handling is required.

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

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

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

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

  The constraints on a mov m must permit moving any hard register to any other hard register provided that `HARD_REGNO_MODE_OK` permits mode m in both registers and `REGISTER_MOVE_COST` applied to their classes returns a value of 2.

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

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

reload_in m
reload_out m
  These named patterns have been obsoleted by the target hook `secondary_reload`.

  Like mov m, but used when a scratch register is required to move between operand 0 and operand 1. Operand 2 describes the scratch register. See the discussion of the `SECONDARY_RELOAD_CLASS` macro in see Register Classes.

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

movstrict m
  Like mov m except that if operand 0 is a `subreg` with mode m of a register whose natural mode is wider, the movstrict m instruction is guaranteed not to alter any of the register except the part which belongs to mode m.

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

  This pattern is used by the autovectorizer, and when expanding a `MISALIGNED_INDIRECT_REF` expression.

load_multiple
  Load several consecutive memory locations into consecutive registers. Operand 0 is the first of the consecutive registers, operand 1 is the first memory location, and operand 2 is a constant: the number of consecutive registers.

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

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

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

store_multiple
  Similar to load_multiple, but store several consecutive registers into consecutive memory locations. Operand 0 is the first of the consecutive memory locations, operand 1 is the first register, and operand 2 is a constant: the number of consecutive registers.

vec_set m
  Set given field in the vector value. Operand 0 is the vector to modify, operand 1 is new value of field and operand 2 specify the field index.

vec_extract m
  Extract given field from the vector value. Operand 1 is the vector, operand 2 specify field index and operand 0 place to store value into.

vec_extract_even m
  Extract even elements from the input vectors (operand 1 and operand 2). The even elements of operand 2 are concatenated to the even elements of operand 1 in their original order. The result is stored in operand 0. The output and input vectors should have the same modes.

vec_extract_odd m
  Extract odd elements from the input vectors (operand 1 and operand 2). The odd elements of operand 2 are concatenated to the odd elements of operand 1 in their original order. The result is stored in operand 0. The output and input vectors should have the same modes.

vec_interleave_high m
  Merge high elements of the two input vectors into the output vector. The output and input vectors should have the same modes (`N` elements). The high `N/2` elements of the first input vector are interleaved with the high `N/2` elements of the second input vector.

vec_interleave_low m
  Merge low elements of the two input vectors into the output vector. The output and input vectors should have the same modes (`N` elements). The low `N/2` elements of the first input vector are interleaved with the low `N/2` elements of the second input vector.

vec_init m
  Initialize the vector to given values. Operand 0 is the vector to initialize and operand 1 is parallel containing values for individual fields.

push m 1
  Output a push instruction. Operand 0 is value to push. Used only when `PUSH_ROUNDING` is defined. For historical reason, this pattern may be missing and in such case an `mov` expander is used instead, with a `MEM` expression forming the push operation. The `mov` expander method is deprecated.

add m 3
  Add operand 2 and operand 1, storing the result in operand 0. All operands must have mode m. This can be used even on two-address machines, by means of constraints requiring operands 1 and 0 to be the same location.

ssadd m 3, usadd m 3

and m 3, ior m 3, xor m 3
  Similar, for other arithmetic operations.

smin m 3, smax m 3
  Signed minimum and maximum operations. When used with floating point, if both operands are zeros, or if either operand is `NaN`, then it is unspecified which of the two operands is returned as the result.

reduc_smin_m, reduc_smax_m
  Find the signed minimum/maximum of the elements of a vector. The vector is operand 1, and the scalar result is stored in the least significant bits of operand 0 (also a vector). The output and input vector should have the same modes.

reduc_umin_m, reduc_umax_m
  Find the unsigned minimum/maximum of the elements of a vector. The vector is operand 1, and the scalar result is stored in the least significant bits of operand 0 (also a vector). The output and input vector should have the same modes.

reduc_splus_m
  Compute the sum of the signed elements of a vector. The vector is operand 1, and the scalar result is stored in the least significant bits of operand 0 (also a vector). The output and input vector should have the same modes.

reduc_uplus_m
  Compute the sum of the unsigned elements of a vector. The vector is operand 1, and the scalar result is stored in the least significant bits of operand 0 (also a vector). The output and input vector should have the same modes.

sdot_prod m
udot_prod m
  Compute the sum of the products of two signed/unsigned elements. Operand 1 and operand 2 are of the same mode. Their product, which is of a wider mode, is computed and added to operand 3. Operand 3 is of a mode equal or wider than the mode of the product. The result is placed in operand 0, which is of the same mode as operand 3.

ssum_widen m3
usum_widen m3
  Operands 0 and 2 are of the same mode, which is wider than the mode of operand 1. Add operand 1 to operand 2 and place the widened result in operand 0. (This is used express accumulation of elements into an accumulator of a wider mode.)

vec_shl_m, vec_shr_m
  Whole vector left/right shift in bits. Operand 1 is a vector to be shifted. Operand 2 is an integer shift amount in bits. Operand 0 is where the resulting shifted vector is stored. The output and input vectors should have the same modes.

vec_pack_trunc_m
  Narrow (demote) and merge the elements of two vectors. Operands 1 and 2 are vectors of the same mode having N integral or floating point elements of size S. Operand 0 is the resulting vector in which 2*N elements of size N/2 are concatenated after narrowing them down using truncation.

vec_pack_ssat_m, vec_pack_usat_m
  Narrow (demote) and merge the elements of two vectors. Operands 1 and 2 are vectors of the same mode having N integral elements of size S. Operand 0 is the resulting vector in which the elements of the two input vectors are concatenated after narrowing them down using signed/unsigned saturating arithmetic.

vec_pack_sfix_trunc_m, vec_pack_ufix_trunc_m
  Narrow, convert to signed/unsigned integral type and merge the elements of two vectors. Operands 1 and 2 are vectors of the same mode having N floating point elements of size S. Operand 0 is the resulting vector in which 2*N elements of size N/2 are concatenated.

vec_unpacks_hi_m, vec_unpacks_lo_m
  Extract and widen (promote) the high/low part of a vector of signed integral or floating point elements. The input vector (operand 1) has N elements of size S. Widen (promote) the high/low elements of the vector using signed or floating point extension and place the resulting N/2 values of size 2*S in the output vector (operand 0).

vec_unpacku_hi_m, vec_unpacku_lo_m
  Extract and widen (promote) the high/low part of a vector of unsigned integral elements. The input vector (operand 1) has N elements of size S. Widen (promote) the high/low elements of the vector using zero extension and place the resulting N/2 values of size 2*S in the output vector (operand 0).

vec_unpacks_float_hi_m, vec_unpacks_float_lo_m
vec_unpacku_float_hi_m, vec_unpacku_float_lo_m
  Extract, convert to floating point type and widen the high/low part of a vector of signed/unsigned integral elements. The input vector (operand 1) has N elements of size S. Convert the high/low elements of the vector using floating point conversion and place the resulting N/2 values of size 2*S in the output vector (operand 0).

vec_widen_umult_hi_m, vec_widen_umult_lo_m
vec_widen_smult_hi_m, vec_widen_smult_lo_m
  Signed/Unsigned widening multiplication. The two inputs (operands 1 and 2) are vectors with N signed/unsigned elements of size S. Multiply the high/low elements of the two vectors, and put the N/2 products of size 2*S in the output vector (operand 0).

mulhisi3
  Multiply operands 1 and 2, which have mode `HImode`, and store a `SImode` product in operand 0.

mulqihi3, mulsidi3
  Similar widening-multiplication instructions of other widths.

umulqihi3, umulhisi3, umulsidi3
  Similar widening-multiplication instructions that do unsigned multiplication.

usmulqihi3, usmulhisi3, usmulsidi3
  Similar widening-multiplication instructions that interpret the first operand as unsigned and the second operand as signed, then do a signed multiplication.

smul m 3_highpart
  Perform a signed multiplication of operands 1 and 2, which have mode m, and store the most significant half of the product in operand 0. The least significant half of the product is discarded.

umul m 3_highpart
  Similar, but the multiplication is unsigned.

madd m n 4
  Multiply operands 1 and 2, sign-extend them to mode n, add operand 3, and store the result in operand 0. Operands 1 and 2 have mode m and operands 0 and 3 have mode n. Both modes must be integer or fixed-point modes and n must be twice the size of m.

  In other words, `madd` m n `4` is like `mul` m n `3` except that it also adds operand 3.

  These instructions are not allowed to `FAIL`.

umadd m n 4
  Like `madd` m n `4`, but zero-extend the multiplication operands instead of sign-extending them.

ssmadd m n 4
  Like `madd` m n `4`, but all involved operations must be signed-saturating.

usmadd m n 4
  Like `umadd` m n `4`, but all involved operations must be unsigned-saturating.

msub m n 4
  Multiply operands 1 and 2, sign-extend them to mode n, subtract the result from operand 3, and store the result in operand 0. Operands 1 and 2 have mode m and operands 0 and 3 have mode n. Both modes must be integer or fixed-point modes and n must be twice the size of m.

  In other words, `msub` m n `4` is like `mul` m n `3` except that it also subtracts the result from operand 3.

  These instructions are not allowed to `FAIL`.

umsub m n 4
  Like `msub` m n `4`, but zero-extend the multiplication operands instead of sign-extending them.

ssmsub m n 4
  Like `msub` m n `4`, but all involved operations must be signed-saturating.

usmsub m n 4
  Like `umsub` m n `4`, but all involved operations must be unsigned-saturating.

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

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

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

udivmod m 4
  Similar, but does unsigned division.

ashl m 3, ssashl m 3, usashl m 3
  Arithmetic-shift operand 1 left by a number of bits specified by operand 2, and store the result in operand 0. Here m is the mode of operand 0 and operand 1; operand 2's mode is specified by the instruction pattern, and the compiler will convert the operand to that mode before generating the instruction. The meaning of out-of-range shift counts can optionally be specified by `TARGET_SHIFT_TRUNCATION_MASK`. See TARGET_SHIFT_TRUNCATION_MASK.

ashr m 3, lshr m 3, rotl m 3, rotr m 3
  Other shift and rotate instructions, analogous to the `ashl` m `3` instructions.

atan2 m 3
  Store the arc tangent (inverse tangent) of operand 1 divided by operand 2 into operand 0, using the signs of both arguments to determine the quadrant of the result.

  Store into operand 0 one plus the index of the least significant 1-bit of operand 1. If operand 1 is zero, store zero. m is the mode of operand 0; operand 1's mode is specified by the instruction pattern, and the compiler will convert the operand to that mode before generating the instruction.

  The `ffs` built-in function of C always uses the mode which corresponds to the C data type `int`.

clz m 2
  Store into operand 0 the number of leading 0-bits in x, starting at the most significant bit position. If x is 0, the `CLZ_DEFINED_VALUE_AT_ZERO` (see Misc) macro defines if the result is undefined or has a useful value. m is the mode of operand 0; operand 1's mode is specified by the instruction pattern, and the compiler will convert the operand to that mode before generating the instruction.

ctz m 2
  Store into operand 0 the number of trailing 0-bits in x, starting at the least significant bit position. If x is 0, the `CTZ_DEFINED_VALUE_AT_ZERO` (see Misc) macro defines if the result is undefined or has a useful value. m is the mode of operand 0; operand 1's mode is specified by the instruction pattern, and the compiler will convert the operand to that mode before generating the instruction.

popcount m 2
  Store into operand 0 the number of 1-bits in x. m is the mode of operand 0; operand 1's mode is specified by the instruction pattern, and the compiler will convert the operand to that mode before generating the instruction.

parity m 2
  Store into operand 0 the parity of x, i.e. the number of 1-bits in x modulo 2. m is the mode of operand 0; operand 1's mode is specified by the instruction pattern, and the compiler will convert the operand to that mode before generating the instruction.

one_cmpl m 2
  Store the bitwise-complement of operand 1 into operand 0.

cmp m
  Compare operand 0 and operand 1, and set the condition codes. The RTL pattern should look like this:

                (set (cc0) (compare (match_operand:m 0 ...)
                                    (match_operand:m 1 ...)))

tst m
  Compare operand 0 against zero, and set the condition codes. The RTL pattern should look like this:

                (set (cc0) (match_operand:m 0 ...))

  tst m patterns should not be defined for machines that do not use `(cc0)`. Doing so would confuse the optimizer since it would no longer be clear which `set` operations were comparisons. The cmp m patterns should be used instead.

movmem m
  Block move instruction. The destination and source blocks of memory are the first two operands, and both are `mem:BLK`s with an address in mode `Pmode`.

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

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

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

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

  These patterns need not give special consideration to the possibility that the source and destination strings might overlap.

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

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

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

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

  The use for multiple `setmem` m is as for `movmem` m.

cmpstrn m
  String compare instruction, with five operands. Operand 0 is the output; it has mode m. The remaining four operands are like the operands of movmem m. The two memory blocks specified are compared byte by byte in lexicographic order starting at the beginning of each string. The instruction is not allowed to prefetch more than one byte at a time since either string may end in the first byte and reading past that may access an invalid page or segment and cause a fault. The effect of the instruction is to store a value in operand 0 whose sign indicates the result of the comparison.

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

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

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

cmpmem m
  Block compare instruction, with five operands like the operands of cmpstr m. The two memory blocks specified are compared byte by byte in lexicographic order starting at the beginning of each block. Unlike cmpstr m the instruction can prefetch any bytes in the two memory blocks. The effect of the instruction is to store a value in operand 0 whose sign indicates the result of the comparison.

strlen m
  Compute the length of a string, with three operands. Operand 0 is the result (of mode m), operand 1 is a `mem` referring to the first character of the string, operand 2 is the character to search for (normally zero), and operand 3 is a constant describing the known alignment of the beginning of the string.

float m n 2
  Convert signed integer operand 1 (valid for fixed point mode m) to floating point mode n and store in operand 0 (which has mode n).

floatuns m n 2
  Convert unsigned integer operand 1 (valid for fixed point mode m) to floating point mode n and store in operand 0 (which has mode n).

fix m n 2
  Convert operand 1 (valid for floating point mode m) to fixed point mode n as a signed number and store in operand 0 (which has mode n). This instruction's result is defined only when the value of operand 1 is an integer.

  If the machine description defines this pattern, it also needs to define the `ftrunc` pattern.

fixuns m n 2
  Convert operand 1 (valid for floating point mode m) to fixed point mode n as an unsigned number and store in operand 0 (which has mode n). This instruction's result is defined only when the value of operand 1 is an integer.

ftrunc m 2
  Convert operand 1 (valid for floating point mode m) to an integer value, still represented in floating point mode m, and store it in operand 0 (valid for floating point mode m).

fix_trunc m n 2
  Like fix m n 2 but works for any floating point value of mode m by converting the value to an integer.

fixuns_trunc m n 2
  Like fixuns m n 2 but works for any floating point value of mode m by converting the value to an integer.

trunc m n 2
  Truncate operand 1 (valid for mode m) to mode n and store in operand 0 (which has mode n). Both modes must be fixed point or both floating point.

extend m n 2
  Sign-extend operand 1 (valid for mode m) to mode n and store in operand 0 (which has mode n). Both modes must be fixed point or both floating point.

zero_extend m n 2
  Zero-extend operand 1 (valid for mode m) to mode n and store in operand 0 (which has mode n). Both modes must be fixed point.

fract m n 2
  Convert operand 1 of mode m to mode n and store in operand 0 (which has mode n). Mode m and mode n could be fixed-point to fixed-point, signed integer to fixed-point, fixed-point to signed integer, floating-point to fixed-point, or fixed-point to floating-point. When overflows or underflows happen, the results are undefined.

satfract m n 2
  Convert operand 1 of mode m to mode n and store in operand 0 (which has mode n). Mode m and mode n could be fixed-point to fixed-point, signed integer to fixed-point, or floating-point to fixed-point. When overflows or underflows happen, the instruction saturates the results to the maximum or the minimum.

fractuns m n 2
  Convert operand 1 of mode m to mode n and store in operand 0 (which has mode n). Mode m and mode n could be unsigned integer to fixed-point, or fixed-point to unsigned integer. When overflows or underflows happen, the results are undefined.

satfractuns m n 2
  Convert unsigned integer operand 1 of mode m to fixed-point mode n and store in operand 0 (which has mode n). When overflows or underflows happen, the instruction saturates the results to the maximum or the minimum.

extv
  Extract a bit-field from operand 1 (a register or memory operand), where operand 2 specifies the width in bits and operand 3 the starting bit, and store it in operand 0. Operand 0 must have mode `word_mode`. Operand 1 may have mode `byte_mode` or `word_mode`; often `word_mode` is allowed only for registers. Operands 2 and 3 must be valid for `word_mode`.

  The RTL generation pass generates this instruction only with constants for operands 2 and 3 and the constant is never zero for operand 2.

  The bit-field value is sign-extended to a full word integer before it is stored in operand 0.

extzv
  Like extv except that the bit-field value is zero-extended.

insv
  Store operand 3 (which must be valid for `word_mode`) into a bit-field in operand 0, where operand 1 specifies the width in bits and operand 2 the starting bit. Operand 0 may have mode `byte_mode` or `word_mode`; often `word_mode` is allowed only for registers. Operands 1 and 2 must be valid for `word_mode`.

  The RTL generation pass generates this instruction only with constants for operands 1 and 2 and the constant is never zero for operand 1.

mov mode cc
  Conditionally move operand 2 or operand 3 into operand 0 according to the comparison in operand 1. If the comparison is true, operand 2 is moved into operand 0, otherwise operand 3 is moved.

  The mode of the operands being compared need not be the same as the operands being moved. Some machines, sparc64 for example, have instructions that conditionally move an integer value based on the floating point condition codes and vice versa.

  If the machine does not have conditional move instructions, do not define these patterns.

add mode cc
  Similar to mov mode cc but for conditional addition. Conditionally move operand 2 or (operands 2 + operand 3) into operand 0 according to the comparison in operand 1. If the comparison is true, operand 2 is moved into operand 0, otherwise (operand 2 + operand 3) is moved.

s cond
  Store zero or nonzero in the operand according to the condition codes. Value stored is nonzero iff the condition cond is true. cond is the name of a comparison operation expression code, such as `eq`, `lt` or `leu`.

  You specify the mode that the operand must have when you write the `match_operand` expression. The compiler automatically sees which mode you have used and supplies an operand of that mode.

  The value stored for a true condition must have 1 as its low bit, or else must be negative. Otherwise the instruction is not suitable and you should omit it from the machine description. You describe to the compiler exactly which value is stored by defining the macro `STORE_FLAG_VALUE` (see Misc). If a description cannot be found that can be used for all the s cond patterns, you should omit those operations from the machine description.

  These operations may fail, but should do so only in relatively uncommon cases; if they would fail for common cases involving integer comparisons, it is best to omit these patterns.

  If these operations are omitted, the compiler will usually generate code that copies the constant one to the target and branches around an assignment of zero to the target. If this code is more efficient than the potential instructions used for the s cond pattern followed by those required to convert the result into a 1 or a zero in `SImode`, you should omit the s cond operations from the machine description.

b cond
  Conditional branch instruction. Operand 0 is a `label_ref` that refers to the label to jump to. Jump if the condition codes meet condition cond.

  Some machines do not follow the model assumed here where a comparison instruction is followed by a conditional branch instruction. In that case, the cmp m (and tst m) patterns should simply store the operands away and generate all the required insns in a `define_expand` (see Expander Definitions) for the conditional branch operations. All calls to expand b cond patterns are immediately preceded by calls to expand either a cmp m pattern or a tst m pattern.

  Machines that use a pseudo register for the condition code value, or where the mode used for the comparison depends on the condition being tested, should also use the above mechanism. See Jump Patterns.

  The above discussion also applies to the mov mode cc and s cond patterns.

cbranch mode 4
  Conditional branch instruction combined with a compare instruction. Operand 0 is a comparison operator. Operand 1 and operand 2 are the first and second operands of the comparison, respectively. Operand 3 is a `label_ref` that refers to the label to jump to.

jump
  A jump inside a function; an unconditional branch. Operand 0 is the `label_ref` of the label to jump to. This pattern name is mandatory on all machines.

call
  Subroutine call instruction returning no value. Operand 0 is the function to call; operand 1 is the number of bytes of arguments pushed as a `const_int`; operand 2 is the number of registers used as operands.

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

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

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

  Subroutines that return `BLKmode` objects use the call insn.

call_pop, call_value_pop
  Similar to call and call_value, except used if defined and if `RETURN_POPS_ARGS` is nonzero. They should emit a `parallel` that contains both the function call and a `set` to indicate the adjustment made to the frame pointer.

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

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

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

return
  Subroutine return instruction. This instruction pattern name should be defined only if a single instruction can do all the work of returning from a function.

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

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

  Machines that have conditional return instructions should define patterns such as

                (define_insn ""
                  [(set (pc)
                        (if_then_else (match_operator
                                         0 "comparison_operator"
                                         [(cc0) (const_int 0)])
                                      (return)
                                      (pc)))]
                  "condition"
                  "...")

  where condition would normally be the same condition specified on the named return pattern.

untyped_return
  Untyped subroutine return instruction. This instruction pattern should be defined to support `__builtin_return` on machines where special instructions are needed to return a value of any type.

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

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

indirect_jump
  An instruction to jump to an address which is operand zero. This pattern name is mandatory on all machines.

casesi
  Instruction to jump through a dispatch table, including bounds checking. This instruction takes five operands:
  1. The index to dispatch on, which has mode `SImode`.
  2. The lower bound for indices in the table, an integer constant.
  3. The total range of indices in the table—the largest index minus the smallest one (both inclusive).
  4. A label that precedes the table itself.
  5. A label to jump to if the index has a value outside the bounds.

  The table is a `addr_vec` or `addr_diff_vec` inside of a `jump_insn`. The number of elements in the table is one plus the difference between the upper bound and the lower bound.

tablejump
  Instruction to jump to a variable address. This is a low-level capability which can be used to implement a dispatch table when there is no casesi pattern.

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

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

decrement_and_branch_until_zero
  Conditional branch instruction that decrements a register and jumps if the register is nonzero. Operand 0 is the register to decrement and test; operand 1 is the label to jump to if the register is nonzero. See Looping Patterns.

  This optional instruction pattern is only used by the combiner, typically for loops reversed by the loop optimizer when strength reduction is enabled.

doloop_end
  Conditional branch instruction that decrements a register and jumps if the register is nonzero. This instruction takes five operands: Operand 0 is the register to decrement and test; operand 1 is the number of loop iterations as a `const_int` or `const0_rtx` if this cannot be determined until run-time; operand 2 is the actual or estimated maximum number of iterations as a `const_int`; operand 3 is the number of enclosed loops as a `const_int` (an innermost loop has a value of 1); operand 4 is the label to jump to if the register is nonzero. See Looping Patterns.

  This optional instruction pattern should be defined for machines with low-overhead looping instructions as the loop optimizer will try to modify suitable loops to utilize it. If nested low-overhead looping is not supported, use a `define_expand` (see Expander Definitions) and make the pattern fail if operand 3 is not `const1_rtx`. Similarly, if the actual or estimated maximum number of iterations is too large for this instruction, make it fail.

doloop_begin
  Companion instruction to `doloop_end` required for machines that need to perform some initialization, such as loading special registers used by a low-overhead looping instruction. If initialization insns do not always need to be emitted, use a `define_expand` (see Expander Definitions) and make it fail.

canonicalize_funcptr_for_compare
  Canonicalize the function pointer in operand 1 and store the result into operand 0.

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

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

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

save_stack_block
save_stack_function
save_stack_nonlocal
restore_stack_block
restore_stack_function
restore_stack_nonlocal
  Most machines save and restore the stack pointer by copying it to or from an object of mode `Pmode`. Do not define these patterns on such machines.

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

  1. save_stack_block saves the stack pointer at the start of a block that allocates a variable-sized object, and restore_stack_block restores the stack pointer when the block is exited.
  2. save_stack_function and restore_stack_function do a similar job for the outermost block of a function and are used when the function allocates variable-sized objects or calls `alloca`. Only the epilogue uses the restored stack pointer, allowing a simpler save or restore sequence on some machines.
  3. save_stack_nonlocal is used in functions that contain labels branched to by nested functions. It saves the stack pointer in such a way that the inner function can use restore_stack_nonlocal to restore the stack pointer. The compiler generates code to restore the frame and argument pointer registers, but some machines require saving and restoring additional data such as register window information or stack backchains. Place insns in these patterns to save and restore any such required data.

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

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

allocate_stack
  Subtract (or add if `STACK_GROWS_DOWNWARD` is undefined) operand 1 from the stack pointer to create space for dynamically allocated data.

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

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

check_stack
  If stack checking cannot be done on your system by probing the stack with a load or store instruction (see Stack Checking), define this pattern to perform the needed check and signaling an error if the stack has overflowed. The single operand is the location in the stack furthest from the current stack pointer that you need to validate. Normally, on machines where this pattern is needed, you would obtain the stack limit from a global or thread-specific variable or register.

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

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

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

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

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

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

builtin_longjmp
  This pattern, if defined, performs the entire action of the longjmp. You will not normally need to define this pattern unless you also define `builtin_setjmp_setup`. The single argument is a pointer to the `jmp_buf`.

eh_return
  This pattern, if defined, affects the way `__builtin_eh_return`, and thence the call frame exception handling library routines, are built. It is intended to handle non-trivial actions needed along the abnormal return path.

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

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

prologue
  This pattern, if defined, emits RTL for entry to a function. The function entry is responsible for setting up the stack frame, initializing the frame pointer register, saving callee saved registers, etc.

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

  The `prologue` pattern is particularly useful for targets which perform instruction scheduling.

epilogue
  This pattern emits RTL for exit from a function. The function exit is responsible for deallocating the stack frame, restoring callee saved registers and emitting the return instruction.

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

  The `epilogue` pattern is particularly useful for targets which perform instruction scheduling or which have delay slots for their return instruction.

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

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

trap
  This pattern, if defined, signals an error, typically by causing some kind of signal to be raised. Among other places, it is used by the Java front end to signal `invalid array index' exceptions.

conditional_trap
  Conditional trap instruction. Operand 0 is a piece of RTL which performs a comparison. Operand 1 is the trap code, an integer.

  A typical `conditional_trap` pattern looks like

                (define_insn "conditional_trap"
                  [(trap_if (match_operator 0 "trap_operator"
                             [(cc0) (const_int 0)])
                            (match_operand 1 "const_int_operand" "i"))]
                  ""
                  "...")

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

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

blockage
  This pattern defines a pseudo insn that prevents the instruction scheduler from moving instructions across the boundary defined by the blockage insn. Normally an UNSPEC_VOLATILE pattern.

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

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

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

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

sync_compare_and_swap_cc mode
  This pattern is just like `sync_compare_and_swap` mode, except it should act as if compare part of the compare-and-swap were issued via `cmp` m. This comparison will only be used with `EQ` and `NE` branches and `setcc` operations.

  Some targets do expose the success or failure of the compare-and-swap operation via the status flags. Ideally we wouldn't need a separate named pattern in order to take advantage of this, but the combine pass does not handle patterns with multiple sets, which is required by definition for `sync_compare_and_swap` mode.

sync_add mode, sync_sub mode
sync_ior mode, sync_and mode
sync_xor mode, sync_nand mode
  These patterns emit code for an atomic operation on memory. Operand 0 is the memory on which the atomic operation is performed. Operand 1 is the second operand to the binary operator.

  The “nand” operation is `~op0 & op1`.

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

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

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

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

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

sync_new_add mode, sync_new_sub mode
sync_new_ior mode, sync_new_and mode
sync_new_xor mode, sync_new_nand mode
  These patterns are like their `sync_old_`op counterparts, except that they return the value that exists in the memory location after the operation, rather than before the operation.

sync_lock_test_and_set mode
  This pattern takes two forms, based on the capabilities of the target. In either case, operand 0 is the result of the operand, operand 1 is the memory on which the atomic operation is performed, and operand 2 is the value to set in the lock.

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

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

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

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

sync_lock_release mode
  This pattern, if defined, releases a lock set by `sync_lock_test_and_set` mode. Operand 0 is the memory that contains the lock; operand 1 is the value to store in the lock.

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

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

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

stack_protect_set
  This pattern, if defined, moves a `Pmode` value from the memory in operand 1 to the memory in operand 0 without leaving the value in a register afterward. This is to avoid leaking the value some place that an attacker might use to rewrite the stack guard slot after having clobbered it.

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

stack_protect_test
  This pattern, if defined, compares a `Pmode` value from the memory in operand 1 with the memory in operand 0 without leaving the value in a register afterward and branches to operand 2 if the values weren't equal.

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

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

  If this pattern is not defined, a call to the library function `__clear_cache` is used.
