46 REG_NOTE (INC)
48 /* Describes the insn as a whole; it says that the insn sets a
49 register to a constant value or to be equivalent to a memory
50 address. If the register is spilled to the stack then the constant
51 value should be substituted for it. The contents of the REG_EQUIV
52 is the constant value or memory address, which may be different
53 from the source of the SET although it has the same value. A
54 REG_EQUIV note may also appear on an insn which copies a register
55 parameter to a pseudo-register, if there is a memory address which
56 could be used to hold that pseudo-register throughout the function. */
57 REG_NOTE (EQUIV)

60 equal to the specified rtx. Therefore, it cannot be used for
61 substitution; but it can be used for cse. */
62 REG_NOTE (EQUAL)
64 /* The register is always nonnegative during the containing loop.
65 This is used in branches so that decrement and branch instructions
66 terminating on zero can be matched. There must be an insn pattern

77 of a branch as long as only one copy of the insn exists. In that
78 case, these notes point from one to the other to allow code
79 generation to determine what any require information and to

121 REG_CFA_NOTE (FRAME_RELATED_EXPR)
123 /* Attached to insns that are RTX_FRAME_RELATED_P, but are too complex
124 for FRAME_RELATED_EXPR intuition. The insn's first pattern must be
125 a SET, and the destination must be the CFA register. The attached
126 rtx is an expression that defines the CFA. In the simplest case, the
127 rtx could be just the stack_pointer_rtx; more common would be a PLUS
128 with a base register and a constant offset. In the most complicated
129 cases, this will result in a DW_CFA_def_cfa_expression with the rtx
130 expression rendered in a dwarf location expression. */
131 REG_CFA_NOTE (CFA_DEF_CFA)
133 /* Attached to insns that are RTX_FRAME_RELATED_P, but are too complex
134 for FRAME_RELATED_EXPR intuition. This note adjusts the expression
135 from which the CFA is computed. The attached rtx defines a new CFA
136 expression, relative to the old CFA expression. This rtx must be of
137 the form (SET new-cfa-reg (PLUS old-cfa-reg const_int)). If the note
138 rtx is NULL, we use the first SET of the insn. */

141 /* Similar to FRAME_RELATED_EXPR, with the additional information that
142 this is a save to memory, i.e. will result in DW_CFA_offset or the
143 like. The pattern or the insn should be a simple store relative to
144 the CFA. */
145 REG_CFA_NOTE (CFA_OFFSET)
147 /* Similar to FRAME_RELATED_EXPR, with the additional information that this
148 is a save to a register, i.e. will result in DW_CFA_register. The insn
149 or the pattern should be simple reg-reg move. */
150 REG_CFA_NOTE (CFA_REGISTER)
152 /* Attached to insns that are RTX_FRAME_RELATED_P, but are too complex
153 for FRAME_RELATED_EXPR intuition. This is a save to memory, i.e. will
154 result in a DW_CFA_expression. The pattern or the insn should be a
155 store of a register to an arbitrary (non-validated) memory address. */
156 REG_CFA_NOTE (CFA_EXPRESSION)
158 /* Attached to insns that are RTX_FRAME_RELATED_P, but are too complex

164 that this is a restore operation, i.e. will result in DW_CFA_restore
165 or the like. Either the attached rtx, or the destination of the insn's
166 first pattern is the register to be restored. */
167 REG_CFA_NOTE (CFA_RESTORE)
169 /* Attached to insns that are RTX_FRAME_RELATED_P, marks insn that sets

174 /* Attached to insns that are RTX_FRAME_RELATED_P, indicating a window
175 save operation, i.e. will result in a DW_CFA_GNU_window_save.
176 The argument is ignored. */
177 REG_CFA_NOTE (CFA_WINDOW_SAVE)
179 /* Attached to insns that are RTX_FRAME_RELATED_P, marks the insn as
180 requiring that all queued information should be flushed *before* insn,
181 regardless of what is visible in the rtl. The argument is ignored.
182 This is normally used for a call instruction which is not exposed to
183 the rest of the compiler as a CALL_INSN. */
184 REG_CFA_NOTE (CFA_FLUSH_QUEUE)
186 /* Attached to insns that are RTX_FRAME_RELATED_P, toggling the mangling status
187 of return address. Currently it's only used by AArch64. The argument is
188 ignored. */
189 REG_CFA_NOTE (CFA_TOGGLE_RA_MANGLE)
191 /* Indicates what exception region an INSN belongs in. This is used
192 to indicate what region to which a call may throw. REGION 0
193 indicates that a call cannot throw at all. REGION -1 indicates
194 that it cannot throw, nor will it execute a non-local goto. */
195 REG_NOTE (EH_REGION)
197 /* Used by haifa-sched to save NOTE_INSN notes across scheduling. */
198 REG_NOTE (SAVE_NOTE)
200 /* Indicates that a call does not return. */
201 REG_NOTE (NORETURN)
203 /* Indicates that an indirect jump is a non-local goto instead of a
204 computed goto. */
205 REG_NOTE (NON_LOCAL_GOTO)
207 /* This kind of note is generated at each to `setjmp', and similar
208 functions that can return twice. */
209 REG_NOTE (SETJMP)
211 /* This kind of note is generated at each transactional memory
212 builtin, to indicate we need to generate transaction restart
213 edges for this insn. */
214 REG_NOTE (TM)
216 /* Indicates the cumulative offset of the stack pointer accounting
217 for pushed arguments. This will only be generated when
218 ACCUMULATE_OUTGOING_ARGS is false. */
219 REG_NOTE (ARGS_SIZE)
221 /* Used for communication between IRA and caller-save.c, indicates
222 that the return value of a call can be used to reinitialize a
223 pseudo reg. */
224 REG_NOTE (RETURNED)
226 /* Used to mark a call with the function decl called by the call.
227 The decl might not be available in the call due to splitting of the call
228 insn. This note is a SYMBOL_REF. */
