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 FRACTIONAL_FLOAT_MODE (MODE, PRECISION, BYTESIZE, FORMAT);
90 declares MODE to be of class FLOAT, BYTESIZE bytes wide in
91 storage, but with only PRECISION significant bits, using
92 floating point format FORMAT.
94 DECIMAL_FLOAT_MODE (MODE, BYTESIZE, FORMAT);
95 declares MODE to be of class DECIMAL_FLOAT and BYTESIZE bytes
96 wide. All of the bits of its representation are significant.
98 FRACTIONAL_DECIMAL_FLOAT_MODE (MODE, BYTESIZE, FORMAT);
99 declares MODE to be of class DECIMAL_FLOAT and BYTESIZE bytes
100 wide. All of the bits of its representation are significant.
102 FRACT_MODE (MODE, BYTESIZE, FBIT);
103 declares MODE to be of class FRACT and BYTESIZE bytes wide
104 with FBIT fractional bits. There may be padding bits.
106 UFRACT_MODE (MODE, BYTESIZE, FBIT);
107 declares MODE to be of class UFRACT and BYTESIZE bytes wide
108 with FBIT fractional bits. There may be padding bits.
110 ACCUM_MODE (MODE, BYTESIZE, IBIT, FBIT);
111 declares MODE to be of class ACCUM and BYTESIZE bytes wide
112 with IBIT integral bits and FBIT fractional bits.
113 There may be padding bits.
115 UACCUM_MODE (MODE, BYTESIZE, IBIT, FBIT);
116 declares MODE to be of class UACCUM and BYTESIZE bytes wide
117 with IBIT integral bits and FBIT fractional bits.
118 There may be padding bits.
120 RESET_FLOAT_FORMAT (MODE, FORMAT);
121 changes the format of MODE, which must be class FLOAT,
122 to FORMAT. Use in an ARCH-modes.def to reset the format
123 of one of the float modes defined in this file.
125 PARTIAL_INT_MODE (MODE);
126 declares a mode of class PARTIAL_INT with the same size as
127 MODE (which must be an INT mode). The name of the new mode
128 is made by prefixing a P to the name MODE. This statement
129 may grow a PRECISION argument in the future.
131 VECTOR_MODE (CLASS, MODE, COUNT);
132 Declare a vector mode whose component mode is MODE (of class
133 CLASS) with COUNT components. CLASS must be INT or FLOAT.
134 The name of the vector mode takes the form VnX where n is
135 COUNT in decimal and X is MODE.
137 VECTOR_MODES (CLASS, WIDTH);
138 For all modes presently declared in class CLASS, construct
139 corresponding vector modes having width WIDTH. Modes whose
140 byte sizes do not evenly divide WIDTH are ignored, as are
141 modes that would produce vector modes with only one component,
142 and modes smaller than one byte (if CLASS is INT) or smaller
143 than two bytes (if CLASS is FLOAT). CLASS must be INT or
144 FLOAT. The names follow the same rule as VECTOR_MODE uses.
146 COMPLEX_MODES (CLASS);
147 For all modes presently declared in class CLASS, construct
148 corresponding complex modes. Modes smaller than one byte
149 are ignored. For FLOAT modes, the names are derived by
150 replacing the 'F' in the mode name with a 'C'. (It is an
151 error if there is no 'F'. For INT modes, the names are
152 derived by prefixing a C to the name.
154 ADJUST_BYTESIZE (MODE, EXPR);
155 ADJUST_ALIGNMENT (MODE, EXPR);
156 ADJUST_FLOAT_FORMAT (MODE, EXPR);
157 ADJUST_IBIT (MODE, EXPR);
158 ADJUST_FBIT (MODE, EXPR);
159 Arrange for the byte size, alignment, floating point format, ibit,
160 or fbit of MODE to be adjustable at run time. EXPR will be executed
161 once after processing all command line options, and should
162 evaluate to the desired byte size, alignment, format, ibit or fbit.
164 Unlike a FORMAT argument, if you are adjusting a float format
165 you must put an & in front of the name of each format structure.
167 Note: If a mode is ever made which is more than 255 bytes wide,
168 machmode.h and genmodes.c will have to be changed to allocate
169 more space for the mode_size and mode_alignment arrays. */
