22 NOTE_LINE_NUMBER field of a NOTE insn for kinds of notes that are
23 not line numbers. Source files define DEF_INSN_NOTE appropriately
24 before including this file.
26 We are slowly removing the concept of insn-chain notes from the
27 compiler. Adding new codes to this file is STRONGLY DISCOURAGED.
28 If you think you need one, look for other ways to express what you
29 mean, such as register notes or bits in the basic-block structure. */
