+
+<p>This concerns dispatch tables.

+<dd><p>A C statement to output to the stdio stream <var>stream</var> an assembler
+pseudo-instruction to generate a difference between two labels.
+<var>value</var> and <var>rel</var> are the numbers of two internal labels. The
+definitions of these labels are output using
+<code>(*targetm.asm_out.internal_label)</code>, and they must be printed in the same
+way here. For example,
+</p>
+<div class="smallexample">
+<pre class="smallexample">fprintf (<var>stream</var>, &quot;\t.word L%d-L%d\n&quot;,
+ <var>value</var>, <var>rel</var>)
+</pre></div>
+
+<p>You must provide this macro on machines where the addresses in a
+dispatch table are relative to the table&rsquo;s own address. If defined, GCC
+will also use this macro on all machines when producing PIC.
+<var>body</var> is the body of the <code>ADDR_DIFF_VEC</code>; it is provided so that the
+mode and flags can be read.
+</p></dd></dl>

+<dt><a name="index-ASM_005fOUTPUT_005fADDR_005fVEC_005fELT"></a>Macro: <strong>ASM_OUTPUT_ADDR_VEC_ELT</strong> <em>(<var>stream</var>, <var>value</var>)</em></dt>
+<dd><p>This macro should be provided on machines where the addresses
+in a dispatch table are absolute.
+</p>
+<p>The definition should be a C statement to output to the stdio stream
+<var>stream</var> an assembler pseudo-instruction to generate a reference to
+a label. <var>value</var> is the number of an internal label whose
+definition is output using <code>(*targetm.asm_out.internal_label)</code>.
+For example,
+</p>
+<div class="smallexample">
+<pre class="smallexample">fprintf (<var>stream</var>, &quot;\t.word L%d\n&quot;, <var>value</var>)
+</pre></div>

+<dt><a name="index-ASM_005fOUTPUT_005fCASE_005fLABEL"></a>Macro: <strong>ASM_OUTPUT_CASE_LABEL</strong> <em>(<var>stream</var>, <var>prefix</var>, <var>num</var>, <var>table</var>)</em></dt>
+<dd><p>Define this if the label before a jump-table needs to be output
+specially. The first three arguments are the same as for
+<code>(*targetm.asm_out.internal_label)</code>; the fourth argument is the
+jump-table which follows (a <code>jump_table_data</code> containing an
+<code>addr_vec</code> or <code>addr_diff_vec</code>).
+</p>
+<p>This feature is used on system V to output a <code>swbeg</code> statement
+for the table.
+</p>
+<p>If this macro is not defined, these labels are output with
+<code>(*targetm.asm_out.internal_label)</code>.

+<dd><p>Define this if something special must be output at the end of a
+jump-table. The definition should be a C statement to be executed
+after the assembler code for the table is written. It should write
+the appropriate code to stdio stream <var>stream</var>. The argument
+<var>table</var> is the jump-table insn, and <var>num</var> is the label-number
+of the preceding label.
+</p>
+<p>If this macro is not defined, nothing special is output at the end of
+the jump-table.

+<dd><p>This target hook is used to emit assembly strings required by the target
+after the .cfi_startproc directive. The first argument is the file stream to
+write the strings to and the second argument is the function&rsquo;s declaration. The
+expected use is to add more .cfi_* directives.
+</p>
+<p>The default is to not output any assembly strings.

+<dd><p>This target hook emits a label at the beginning of each FDE. It
+should be defined on targets where FDEs need special labels, and it
+should write the appropriate label, for the FDE associated with the
+function declaration <var>decl</var>, to the stdio stream <var>stream</var>.
+The third argument, <var>for_eh</var>, is a boolean: true if this is for an
+exception table. The fourth argument, <var>empty</var>, is a boolean:
+true if this is a placeholder label for an omitted FDE.
+</p>
+<p>The default is that FDEs are not given nonlocal labels.

+<dd><p>This target hook emits a label at the beginning of the exception table.
+It should be defined on targets where it is desirable for the table
+to be broken up according to function.
+</p>
+<p>The default is that no label is emitted.

+<dd><p>If the target implements <code>TARGET_ASM_UNWIND_EMIT</code>, this hook may be
+used to emit a directive to install a personality hook into the unwind
+info. This hook should not be used if dwarf2 unwind info is used.

+returns <code>UI_TARGET</code>.

+<dd><p>If necessary, modify personality and LSDA references to handle indirection.

+the symbol is visible outside the TU.

+<dd><p>True if the <code>TARGET_ASM_UNWIND_EMIT</code> hook should be called before

+<dd><p>For DWARF-based unwind frames, two CFI instructions provide for save and
+restore of register state. GCC maintains the current frame address (CFA)
+separately from the register bank but the unwinder in libgcc preserves this
+state along with the registers (and this is expected by the code that writes
+the unwind frames). This hook allows the target to specify that the CFA data
+is not saved/restored along with the registers by the target unwinder so that
+suitable additional instructions should be emitted to restore it.
