<h3 class="section">11.6 Operands</h3>
<p><a name="index-Operands-2140"></a>
In general, expressions in GIMPLE consist of an operation and the
appropriate number of simple operands; these operands must either be a
GIMPLE rvalue (<code>is_gimple_val</code>), i.e. a constant or a register
variable. More complex operands are factored out into temporaries, so
that
<pre class="smallexample"> a = b + c + d
</pre>
<p>becomes
<pre class="smallexample"> T1 = b + c;
a = T1 + d;
</pre>
<p>The same rule holds for arguments to a <code>GIMPLE_CALL</code>.
<p>The target of an assignment is usually a variable, but can also be a
<code>MEM_REF</code> or a compound lvalue as described below.
