23 /* This file defines all the MACHINE MODES used by GCC.
25 A machine mode specifies a size and format of data
26 at the machine level.
28 Each RTL expression has a machine mode.
30 At the syntax tree level, each ..._TYPE and each ..._DECL node
31 has a machine mode which describes data of that type or the
32 data of the variable declared. */
34 /* This file is included by the genmodes program. Its text is the
35 body of a function. Do not rely on this, it will change in the
36 future.
38 The following statements can be used in this file -- all have
39 the form of a C macro call. In their arguments:
41 A CLASS argument must be one of the constants defined in
42 mode-classes.def, less the leading MODE_ prefix; some statements
43 that take CLASS arguments have restrictions on which classes are
44 acceptable. For instance, INT.
46 A MODE argument must be the printable name of a machine mode,
47 without quotation marks or trailing "mode". For instance, SI.
49 A PRECISION, BYTESIZE, or COUNT argument must be a positive integer
50 constant.
52 A FORMAT argument must be one of the real_mode_format structures
53 declared in real.h, or else a literal 0. Do not put a leading &
54 on the argument.
56 An EXPR argument must be a syntactically valid C expression.
57 If an EXPR contains commas, you may need to write an extra pair of
58 parentheses around it, so it appears to be a single argument to the
59 statement.
61 This file defines only those modes which are of use on almost all
62 machines. Other modes can be defined in the target-specific
63 mode definition file, config/ARCH/ARCH-modes.def.
65 Order matters in this file in so far as statements which refer to
66 other modes must appear after the modes they refer to. However,
67 statements which do not refer to other modes may appear in any
68 order.
70 RANDOM_MODE (MODE);
71 declares MODE to be of class RANDOM.
73 CC_MODE (MODE);
74 declares MODE to be of class CC.
76 INT_MODE (MODE, BYTESIZE);
77 declares MODE to be of class INT and BYTESIZE bytes wide.
78 All of the bits of its representation are significant.
80 FRACTIONAL_INT_MODE (MODE, PRECISION, BYTESIZE);
81 declares MODE to be of class INT, BYTESIZE bytes wide in
82 storage, but with only PRECISION significant bits.
84 FLOAT_MODE (MODE, BYTESIZE, FORMAT);
85 declares MODE to be of class FLOAT and BYTESIZE bytes wide,
86 using floating point format FORMAT.
87 All of the bits of its representation are significant.
89 DECIMAL FLOAT_MODE (MODE, BYTESIZE);
90 declares MODE to be of class DECIMAL_FLOAT and BYTESIZE bytes
91 wide. All of the bits of its representation are significant.
93 FRACTIONAL_FLOAT_MODE (MODE, PRECISION, BYTESIZE, FORMAT);
94 declares MODE to be of class FLOAT, BYTESIZE bytes wide in
95 storage, but with only PRECISION significant bits, using
96 floating point format FORMAT.
98 FRACT_MODE (MODE, BYTESIZE, FBIT);
99 declares MODE to be of class FRACT and BYTESIZE bytes wide
100 with FBIT fractional bits. There may be padding bits.
102 UFRACT_MODE (MODE, BYTESIZE, FBIT);
103 declares MODE to be of class UFRACT and BYTESIZE bytes wide
104 with FBIT fractional bits. There may be padding bits.
106 ACCUM_MODE (MODE, BYTESIZE, IBIT, FBIT);
107 declares MODE to be of class ACCUM and BYTESIZE bytes wide
108 with IBIT integral bits and FBIT fractional bits.
109 There may be padding bits.
111 UACCUM_MODE (MODE, BYTESIZE, FBIT);
112 declares MODE to be of class UACCUM and BYTESIZE bytes wide
113 with IBIT integral bits and FBIT fractional bits.
114 There may be padding bits.
116 RESET_FLOAT_FORMAT (MODE, FORMAT);
117 changes the format of MODE, which must be class FLOAT,
118 to FORMAT. Use in an ARCH-modes.def to reset the format
119 of one of the float modes defined in this file.
121 PARTIAL_INT_MODE (MODE);
122 declares a mode of class PARTIAL_INT with the same size as
123 MODE (which must be an INT mode). The name of the new mode
124 is made by prefixing a P to the name MODE. This statement
125 may grow a PRECISION argument in the future.
127 VECTOR_MODE (CLASS, MODE, COUNT);
128 Declare a vector mode whose component mode is MODE (of class
129 CLASS) with COUNT components. CLASS must be INT or FLOAT.
130 The name of the vector mode takes the form VnX where n is
131 COUNT in decimal and X is MODE.
133 VECTOR_MODES (CLASS, WIDTH);
134 For all modes presently declared in class CLASS, construct
135 corresponding vector modes having width WIDTH. Modes whose
136 byte sizes do not evenly divide WIDTH are ignored, as are
137 modes that would produce vector modes with only one component,
138 and modes smaller than one byte (if CLASS is INT) or smaller
139 than two bytes (if CLASS is FLOAT). CLASS must be INT or
140 FLOAT. The names follow the same rule as VECTOR_MODE uses.
142 COMPLEX_MODES (CLASS);
143 For all modes presently declared in class CLASS, construct
144 corresponding complex modes. Modes smaller than one byte
145 are ignored. For FLOAT modes, the names are derived by
146 replacing the 'F' in the mode name with a 'C'. (It is an
147 error if there is no 'F'. For INT modes, the names are
148 derived by prefixing a C to the name.
150 ADJUST_BYTESIZE (MODE, EXPR);
151 ADJUST_ALIGNMENT (MODE, EXPR);
152 ADJUST_FLOAT_FORMAT (MODE, EXPR);
153 ADJUST_IBIT (MODE, EXPR);
154 ADJUST_FBIT (MODE, EXPR);
155 Arrange for the byte size, alignment, floating point format, ibit,
156 or fbit of MODE to be adjustable at run time. EXPR will be executed
157 once after processing all command line options, and should
158 evaluate to the desired byte size, alignment, format, ibit or fbit.
160 Unlike a FORMAT argument, if you are adjusting a float format
161 you must put an & in front of the name of each format structure.
163 Note: If a mode is ever made which is more than 255 bytes wide,
164 machmode.h and genmodes.c will have to be changed to allocate
165 more space for the mode_size and mode_alignment arrays. */
