+<a name="index-target-hooks"></a>
+<a name="index-target-functions"></a>
+
+<dl>
+<dt><a name="index-targetm"></a>Variable: <em>struct gcc_target</em> <strong>targetm</strong></dt>
+<dd><p>The target <samp>.c</samp> file must define the global <code>targetm</code> variable
+which contains pointers to functions and data relating to the target
+machine. The variable is declared in <samp>target.h</samp>;
+<samp>target-def.h</samp> defines the macro <code>TARGET_INITIALIZER</code> which is
+used to initialize the variable, and macros for the default initializers
+for elements of the structure. The <samp>.c</samp> file should override those
+macros for which the default definition is inappropriate. For example:
+</p><div class="smallexample">
+<pre class="smallexample">#include &quot;target.h&quot;
+#include &quot;target-def.h&quot;
+
+/* <span class="roman">Initialize the GCC target structure.</span> */
+
+#undef TARGET_COMP_TYPE_ATTRIBUTES
+#define TARGET_COMP_TYPE_ATTRIBUTES <var>machine</var>_comp_type_attributes
+
+struct gcc_target targetm = TARGET_INITIALIZER;
+</pre></div>
+</dd></dl>
+
+<p>Where a macro should be defined in the <samp>.c</samp> file in this manner to
+form part of the <code>targetm</code> structure, it is documented below as a
+&ldquo;Target Hook&rdquo; with a prototype. Many macros will change in future
+from being defined in the <samp>.h</samp> file to being part of the
+<code>targetm</code> structure.
+</p>
+<p>Similarly, there is a <code>targetcm</code> variable for hooks that are
+specific to front ends for C-family languages, documented as &ldquo;C
+Target Hook&rdquo;. This is declared in <samp>c-family/c-target.h</samp>, the
+initializer <code>TARGETCM_INITIALIZER</code> in
+<samp>c-family/c-target-def.h</samp>. If targets initialize <code>targetcm</code>
+themselves, they should set <code>target_has_targetcm=yes</code> in
+<samp>config.gcc</samp>; otherwise a default definition is used.
+</p>
+<p>Similarly, there is a <code>targetm_common</code> variable for hooks that
+are shared between the compiler driver and the compilers proper,
+documented as &ldquo;Common Target Hook&rdquo;. This is declared in
+<samp>common/common-target.h</samp>, the initializer
+<code>TARGETM_COMMON_INITIALIZER</code> in
+<samp>common/common-target-def.h</samp>. If targets initialize
+<code>targetm_common</code> themselves, they should set
+<code>target_has_targetm_common=yes</code> in <samp>config.gcc</samp>; otherwise a
+default definition is used.
+</p>
+<p>Similarly, there is a <code>targetdm</code> variable for hooks that are
+specific to the D language front end, documented as &ldquo;D Target Hook&rdquo;.
+This is declared in <samp>d/d-target.h</samp>, the initializer
+<code>TARGETDM_INITIALIZER</code> in <samp>d/d-target-def.h</samp>. If targets
+initialize <code>targetdm</code> themselves, they should set
+<code>target_has_targetdm=yes</code> in <samp>config.gcc</samp>; otherwise a default
+definition is used.
