34 /* REG_DEP_TRUE is used in scheduler dependencies lists to represent a
35 read-after-write dependency (i.e. a true data dependency). This is
36 here, not grouped with REG_DEP_ANTI and REG_DEP_OUTPUT, because some
37 passes use a literal 0 for it. */
40 /* The value in REG dies in this insn (i.e., it is not needed past
41 this insn). If REG is set in this insn, the REG_DEAD note may,
42 but need not, be omitted. */
45 /* The REG is autoincremented or autodecremented in this insn. */
48 /* Describes the insn as a whole; it says that the insn sets a
49 register to a constant value or to be equivalent to a memory
50 address. If the register is spilled to the stack then the constant
51 value should be substituted for it. The contents of the REG_EQUIV
52 is the constant value or memory address, which may be different
53 from the source of the SET although it has the same value. A
54 REG_EQUIV note may also appear on an insn which copies a register
55 parameter to a pseudo-register, if there is a memory address which
56 could be used to hold that pseudo-register throughout the function. */
59 /* Like REG_EQUIV except that the destination is only momentarily
60 equal to the specified rtx. Therefore, it cannot be used for
61 substitution; but it can be used for cse. */
64 /* The register is always nonnegative during the containing loop.
65 This is used in branches so that decrement and branch instructions
66 terminating on zero can be matched. There must be an insn pattern
67 in the md file named `decrement_and_branch_until_zero' or else this
68 will never be added to any instructions. */
71 /* Identifies a register set in this insn and never used. */
74 /* REG_CC_SETTER and REG_CC_USER link a pair of insns that set and use
75 CC0, respectively. Normally, these are required to be consecutive
76 insns, but we permit putting a cc0-setting insn in the delay slot
77 of a branch as long as only one copy of the insn exists. In that
78 case, these notes point from one to the other to allow code
79 generation to determine what any require information and to
80 properly update CC_STATUS. These notes are INSN_LISTs. */
84 /* Points to a CODE_LABEL. Used by JUMP_INSNs to say that the CODE_LABEL
85 contained in the REG_LABEL_TARGET note is a possible jump target of
86 this insn. This note is an INSN_LIST. */
87 REG_NOTE (LABEL_TARGET)
89 /* Points to a CODE_LABEL. Used by any insn to say that the CODE_LABEL
90 contained in the REG_LABEL_OPERAND note is used by the insn, but as an
91 operand, not as a jump target (though it may indirectly be a jump
92 target for a later jump insn). This note is an INSN_LIST. */

95 /* REG_DEP_OUTPUT and REG_DEP_ANTI are used in scheduler dependencies lists
96 to represent write-after-write and write-after-read dependencies
100 REG_NOTE (DEP_CONTROL)
102 /* REG_BR_PROB is attached to JUMP_INSNs. It has an
103 integer value (in an INT_LIST). For jumps, it is the probability
104 that this is a taken branch. The integer represents a value of
105 profile_probability type. Use to_reg_br_prob_note and from_reg_br_prob_note
106 to extract the actual value. */
109 /* Attached to a call insn; indicates that the call is malloc-like and
110 that the pointer returned cannot alias anything else. */
113 /* REG_BR_PRED is attached to JUMP_INSNs. It contains
114 CONCAT of two integer value. First specifies the branch predictor
115 that added the note, second specifies the predicted hitrate of
116 branch in a fixed point arithmetic based on REG_BR_PROB_BASE. */
119 /* Attached to insns that are RTX_FRAME_RELATED_P, but are too complex
120 for DWARF to interpret what they imply. The attached rtx is used
121 instead of intuition. */
122 REG_CFA_NOTE (FRAME_RELATED_EXPR)
124 /* Attached to insns that are RTX_FRAME_RELATED_P, but are too complex
125 for FRAME_RELATED_EXPR intuition. The insn's first pattern must be
126 a SET, and the destination must be the CFA register. The attached
127 rtx is an expression that defines the CFA. In the simplest case, the
128 rtx could be just the stack_pointer_rtx; more common would be a PLUS
129 with a base register and a constant offset. In the most complicated
130 cases, this will result in a DW_CFA_def_cfa_expression with the rtx
131 expression rendered in a dwarf location expression. */
132 REG_CFA_NOTE (CFA_DEF_CFA)
134 /* Attached to insns that are RTX_FRAME_RELATED_P, but are too complex
135 for FRAME_RELATED_EXPR intuition. This note adjusts the expression
136 from which the CFA is computed. The attached rtx defines a new CFA
137 expression, relative to the old CFA expression. This rtx must be of
138 the form (SET new-cfa-reg (PLUS old-cfa-reg const_int)). If the note
139 rtx is NULL, we use the first SET of the insn. */
140 REG_CFA_NOTE (CFA_ADJUST_CFA)
142 /* Similar to FRAME_RELATED_EXPR, with the additional information that
143 this is a save to memory, i.e. will result in DW_CFA_offset or the
144 like. The pattern or the insn should be a simple store relative to
146 REG_CFA_NOTE (CFA_OFFSET)
148 /* Similar to FRAME_RELATED_EXPR, with the additional information that this
149 is a save to a register, i.e. will result in DW_CFA_register. The insn
150 or the pattern should be simple reg-reg move. */
151 REG_CFA_NOTE (CFA_REGISTER)
153 /* Attached to insns that are RTX_FRAME_RELATED_P, but are too complex
154 for FRAME_RELATED_EXPR intuition. This is a save to memory, i.e. will
155 result in a DW_CFA_expression. The pattern or the insn should be a
156 store of a register to an arbitrary (non-validated) memory address. */
157 REG_CFA_NOTE (CFA_EXPRESSION)
159 /* Attached to insns that are RTX_FRAME_RELATED_P, but are too complex
160 for FRAME_RELATED_EXPR intuition. The DWARF expression computes the value of
161 the given register. */
162 REG_CFA_NOTE (CFA_VAL_EXPRESSION)
164 /* Attached to insns that are RTX_FRAME_RELATED_P, with the information
165 that this is a restore operation, i.e. will result in DW_CFA_restore
166 or the like. Either the attached rtx, or the destination of the insn's
167 first pattern is the register to be restored. */
168 REG_CFA_NOTE (CFA_RESTORE)
170 /* Attached to insns that are RTX_FRAME_RELATED_P, marks insn that sets
171 vDRAP from DRAP. If vDRAP is a register, vdrap_reg is initalized
172 to the argument, if it is a MEM, it is ignored. */
173 REG_CFA_NOTE (CFA_SET_VDRAP)
175 /* Attached to insns that are RTX_FRAME_RELATED_P, indicating a window
176 save operation, i.e. will result in a DW_CFA_GNU_window_save.
177 The argument is ignored. */
178 REG_CFA_NOTE (CFA_WINDOW_SAVE)
180 /* Attached to insns that are RTX_FRAME_RELATED_P, marks the insn as
181 requiring that all queued information should be flushed *before* insn,
182 regardless of what is visible in the rtl. The argument is ignored.
183 This is normally used for a call instruction which is not exposed to
184 the rest of the compiler as a CALL_INSN. */
185 REG_CFA_NOTE (CFA_FLUSH_QUEUE)
187 /* Attached to insns that are RTX_FRAME_RELATED_P, toggling the mangling status
188 of return address. Currently it's only used by AArch64. The argument is
190 REG_CFA_NOTE (CFA_TOGGLE_RA_MANGLE)
192 /* Indicates what exception region an INSN belongs in. This is used
193 to indicate what region to which a call may throw. REGION 0
194 indicates that a call cannot throw at all. REGION -1 indicates
195 that it cannot throw, nor will it execute a non-local goto. */
198 /* Used by haifa-sched to save NOTE_INSN notes across scheduling. */
201 /* Indicates that a call does not return. */
204 /* Indicates that an indirect jump is a non-local goto instead of a
206 REG_NOTE (NON_LOCAL_GOTO)
208 /* This kind of note is generated at each to `setjmp', and similar
209 functions that can return twice. */
212 /* This kind of note is generated at each transactional memory
213 builtin, to indicate we need to generate transaction restart
214 edges for this insn. */
217 /* Indicates the cumulative offset of the stack pointer accounting
218 for pushed arguments. This will only be generated when
219 ACCUMULATE_OUTGOING_ARGS is false. */
222 /* Used for communication between IRA and caller-save.c, indicates
223 that the return value of a call can be used to reinitialize a
227 /* Indicates the instruction is a stack check probe that should not
228 be combined with other stack adjustments. */
229 REG_NOTE (STACK_CHECK)
231 /* Used to mark a call with the function decl called by the call.
232 The decl might not be available in the call due to splitting of the call
233 insn. This note is a SYMBOL_REF. */
236 /* Indicate that a call should not be verified for control-flow consistency.
237 The target address of the call is assumed as a valid address and no check
238 to validate a branch to the target address is needed. The call is marked
239 when a called function has a 'notrack' attribute. This note is used by the
240 compiler when the option -fcf-protection=branch is specified. */
241 REG_NOTE (CALL_NOCF_CHECK)
243 /* The values passed to callee, for debuginfo purposes. */
