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

128 rtx could be just the stack_pointer_rtx; more common would be a PLUS
129 with a base register and a constant offset. In the most complicated

137 expression, relative to the old CFA expression. This rtx must be of
