+<h3 class="section">18.4 Defining data structures for per-function information.</h3>
+<a name="index-per_002dfunction-data"></a>
+<a name="index-data-structures"></a>
+
+<p>If the target needs to store information on a per-function basis, GCC
+provides a macro and a couple of variables to allow this. Note, just
+using statics to store the information is a bad idea, since GCC supports
+nested functions, so you can be halfway through encoding one function
+when another one comes along.
+</p>
+<p>GCC defines a data structure called <code>struct function</code> which
+contains all of the data specific to an individual function. This
+structure contains a field called <code>machine</code> whose type is
+<code>struct machine_function *</code>, which can be used by targets to point
+to their own specific data.
+</p>
+<p>If a target needs per-function specific data it should define the type
+<code>struct machine_function</code> and also the macro <code>INIT_EXPANDERS</code>.
+This macro should be used to initialize the function pointer
+<code>init_machine_status</code>. This pointer is explained below.
+</p>
+<p>One typical use of per-function, target specific data is to create an
+RTX to hold the register containing the function&rsquo;s return address. This
+RTX can then be used to implement the <code>__builtin_return_address</code>
+function, for level 0.
+</p>
+<p>Note&mdash;earlier implementations of GCC used a single data area to hold
+all of the per-function information. Thus when processing of a nested
+function began the old per-function data had to be pushed onto a
+stack, and when the processing was finished, it had to be popped off the
+stack. GCC used to provide function pointers called
+<code>save_machine_status</code> and <code>restore_machine_status</code> to handle
+the saving and restoring of the target specific information. Since the
+single data area approach is no longer used, these pointers are no
+longer supported.
+</p>
+<dl>
+<dt><a name="index-INIT_005fEXPANDERS"></a>Macro: <strong>INIT_EXPANDERS</strong></dt>
+<dd><p>Macro called to initialize any target specific information. This macro
+is called once per function, before generation of any RTL has begun.
+The intention of this macro is to allow the initialization of the
+function pointer <code>init_machine_status</code>.
+</p></dd></dl>
+
+<dl>
+<dt><a name="index-init_005fmachine_005fstatus"></a>Variable: <em>void (*)(struct function *)</em> <strong>init_machine_status</strong></dt>
+<dd><p>If this function pointer is non-<code>NULL</code> it will be called once per
+function, before function compilation starts, in order to allow the
+target to perform any target specific initialization of the
+<code>struct function</code> structure. It is intended that this would be
+used to initialize the <code>machine</code> of that structure.
+</p>
+<p><code>struct machine_function</code> structures are expected to be freed by GC.
+Generally, any memory that they reference must be allocated by using
+GC allocation, including the structure itself.
