+Here we introduce flags on match expressions.  There used flag
+above, @code{c}, denotes that the expression should
 be also matched commutated.  Thus the above match expression
 is really the following four match expressions:
 
+@smallexample
   (bit_and integral_op_p@@0 (bit_ior (bit_not @@0) @@1))
   (bit_and (bit_ior (bit_not @@0) @@1) integral_op_p@@0)
   (bit_and integral_op_p@@0 (bit_ior @@1 (bit_not @@0)))
   (bit_and (bit_ior @@1 (bit_not @@0)) integral_op_p@@0)
+@end smallexample
 
 Usual canonicalizations you know from GENERIC expressions are
 applied before matching, so for example constant operands always
 come second in commutative expressions.
 
+The second supported flag is @code{s} which tells the code
+generator to fail the pattern if the expression marked with
+@code{s} does have more than one use.  For example in
+
+@smallexample
+(simplify
+  (pointer_plus (pointer_plus:s @@0 @@1) @@3)
+  (pointer_plus @@0 (plus @@1 @@3)))
+@end smallexample
+
+this avoids the association if @code{(pointer_plus @@0 @@1)} is
+used outside of the matched expression and thus it would stay
+live and not trivially removed by dead code elimination.
+
 More features exist to avoid too much repetition.
