For example, on the 68000, a logical-or instruction can combine +register or an immediate value into memory, or it can combine any kind of +operand into a register; but it cannot combine one memory location into +another. +</p> +<p>These constraints are represented as multiple alternatives. An alternative +can be described by a series of letters for each operand. The overall +constraint for an operand is made from the letters for this operand +from the first alternative, a comma, the letters for this operand from +the second alternative, a comma, and so on until the last alternative. +All operands for a single instruction must have the same number of +alternatives. +Here is how it is done for fullword logical-or on the 68000: +</p> +<div class="smallexample"> +<pre class="smallexample">(define_insn "iorsi3" + [(set (match_operand:SI 0 "general_operand" "=m,d") + (ior:SI (match_operand:SI 1 "general_operand" "%0,0") + (match_operand:SI 2 "general_operand" "dKs,dmKs")))] + …) +</pre></div> + +<p>The first alternative has ‘<samp>m</samp>’ (memory) for operand 0, ‘<samp>0</samp>’ for +operand 1 (meaning it must match operand 0), and ‘<samp>dKs</samp>’ for operand +2. The second alternative has ‘<samp>d</samp>’ (data register) for operand 0, +‘<samp>0</samp>’ for operand 1, and ‘<samp>dmKs</samp>’ for operand 2. The ‘<samp>=</samp>’ and +‘<samp>%</samp>’ in the constraints apply to all the alternatives; their +meaning is explained in a later section (see <a href="Modifiers.html#Modifiers">Modifiers</a>). +</p> +<p>If all the operands fit any one alternative, the instruction is valid. +Otherwise, for each alternative, the compiler counts how many instructions +must be added to copy the operands so that that alternative applies. +The alternative requiring the least copying is chosen. If two alternatives +need the same amount of copying, the one that comes first is chosen. +These choices can be altered with the ‘<samp>?</samp>’ and ‘<samp>!</samp>’ characters: +</p> +<dl compact="compact"> +<dd><a name="index-_003f-in-constraint"></a> +<a name="index-question-mark"></a> +</dd> +<dt><code>?</code></dt> +<dd><p>Disparage slightly the alternative that the ‘<samp>?</samp>’ appears in, +as a choice when no alternative applies exactly.

When this is so, the C code for writing the +assembler code can use the variable <code>which_alternative</code>, which is +the ordinal number of the alternative that was actually satisfied (0 for +the first, 1 for the second alternative, etc.).
