<h4 class="subsection">17.8.8 Testing constraints from C</h4>
<a name="index-testing-constraints"></a>
<a name="index-constraints_002c-testing"></a>
<p>It is occasionally useful to test a constraint from C code rather than
implicitly via the constraint string in a <code>match_operand</code>. The
generated file <samp>tm_p.h</samp> declares a few interfaces for working
with constraints. At present these are defined for all constraints
except <code>g</code> (which is equivalent to <code>general_operand</code>).
</p>
<p>Some valid constraint names are not valid C identifiers, so there is a
mangling scheme for referring to them from C. Constraint names that
do not contain angle brackets or underscores are left unchanged.
Underscores are doubled, each &lsquo;<samp>&lt;</samp>&rsquo; is replaced with &lsquo;<samp>_l</samp>&rsquo;, and
each &lsquo;<samp>&gt;</samp>&rsquo; with &lsquo;<samp>_g</samp>&rsquo;. Here are some examples:
</p>
<div class="example">
<table>
<tr><td><pre class="example"><strong>Original</strong></pre></td><td><pre class="example"><strong>Mangled</strong></pre></td></tr>
<tr><td><pre class="example"><code>x</code></pre></td><td><pre class="example"><code>x</code></pre></td></tr>
<tr><td><pre class="example"><code>P42x</code></pre></td><td><pre class="example"><code>P42x</code></pre></td></tr>
<tr><td><pre class="example"><code>P4_x</code></pre></td><td><pre class="example"><code>P4__x</code></pre></td></tr>
<tr><td><pre class="example"><code>P4&gt;x</code></pre></td><td><pre class="example"><code>P4_gx</code></pre></td></tr>
<tr><td><pre class="example"><code>P4&gt;&gt;</code></pre></td><td><pre class="example"><code>P4_g_g</code></pre></td></tr>
<tr><td><pre class="example"><code>P4_g&gt;</code></pre></td><td><pre class="example"><code>P4__g_g</code></pre></td></tr>
</table>
</div>
<p>Throughout this section, the variable <var>c</var> is either a constraint
in the abstract sense, or a constant from <code>enum constraint_num</code>;
the variable <var>m</var> is a mangled constraint name (usually as part of
a larger identifier).
</p>
<dl>
<dt><a name="index-constraint_005fnum"></a>Enum: <strong>constraint_num</strong></dt>
<dd><p>For each constraint except <code>g</code>, there is a corresponding
enumeration constant: &lsquo;<samp>CONSTRAINT_</samp>&rsquo; plus the mangled name of the
constraint. Functions that take an <code>enum constraint_num</code> as an
argument expect one of these constants.
</p></dd></dl>
<dl>
<dt><a name="index-satisfies_005fconstraint_005fm"></a>Function: <em>inline bool</em> <strong>satisfies_constraint_<var>m</var></strong> <em>(rtx <var>exp</var>)</em></dt>
<dd><p>For each non-register constraint <var>m</var> except <code>g</code>, there is
one of these functions; it returns <code>true</code> if <var>exp</var> satisfies the
constraint. These functions are only visible if <samp>rtl.h</samp> was included
before <samp>tm_p.h</samp>.
</p></dd></dl>
<dl>
<dt><a name="index-constraint_005fsatisfied_005fp"></a>Function: <em>bool</em> <strong>constraint_satisfied_p</strong> <em>(rtx <var>exp</var>, enum constraint_num <var>c</var>)</em></dt>
<dd><p>Like the <code>satisfies_constraint_<var>m</var></code> functions, but the
constraint to test is given as an argument, <var>c</var>. If <var>c</var>
specifies a register constraint, this function will always return
<code>false</code>.
</p></dd></dl>
<dl>
<dt><a name="index-reg_005fclass_005ffor_005fconstraint"></a>Function: <em>enum reg_class</em> <strong>reg_class_for_constraint</strong> <em>(enum constraint_num <var>c</var>)</em></dt>
<dd><p>Returns the register class associated with <var>c</var>. If <var>c</var> is not
a register constraint, or those registers are not available for the
currently selected subtarget, returns <code>NO_REGS</code>.
</p></dd></dl>
<p>Here is an example use of <code>satisfies_constraint_<var>m</var></code>. In
peephole optimizations (see <a href="Peephole-Definitions.html#Peephole-Definitions">Peephole Definitions</a>), operand
constraint strings are ignored, so if there are relevant constraints,
they must be tested in the C condition. In the example, the
optimization is applied if operand 2 does <em>not</em> satisfy the
&lsquo;<samp>K</samp>&rsquo; constraint. (This is a simplified version of a peephole
definition from the i386 machine description.)
