Instruction +patterns may not use them. Until the ‘<samp>flow</samp>’ pass of the compiler, +they may occur only to represent pushes onto the stack. The ‘<samp>flow</samp>’ +pass finds cases where registers are incremented or decremented in one +instruction and used as an address shortly before or after; these cases are +then transformed to use pre- or post-increment or -decrement. +</p> +<p>If a register used as the operand of these expressions is used in +another address in an insn, the original value of the register is used. +Uses of the register outside of an address are not permitted within the +same insn as a use in an embedded side effect expression because such +insns behave differently on different machines and hence must be treated +as ambiguous and disallowed. +</p> +<p>An instruction that can be represented with an embedded side effect +could also be represented using <code>parallel</code> containing an additional +<code>set</code> to describe how the address register is altered. This is not +done because machines that allow these operations at all typically +allow them wherever a memory address is called for. Describing them as +additional parallel stores would require doubling the number of entries +in the machine description. +</p> +<hr> +<div class="header"> +<p> +Next: <a href="Assembler.html#Assembler" accesskey="n" rel="next">Assembler</a>, Previous: <a href="Side-Effects.html#Side-Effects" accesskey="p" rel="previous">Side Effects</a>, Up: <a href="RTL.html#RTL" accesskey="u" rel="up">RTL</a> [<a href="index.html#SEC_Contents" title="Table of contents" rel="contents">Contents</a>][<a href="Option-Index.html#Option-Index" title="Index" rel="index">Index</a>]</p> +</div> + + + +</body> +</html> |
