|

<a name="index-machine-descriptions"></a>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>A machine description has two parts: a file of instruction patterns
|
||
|
|
(<samp>.md</samp> file) and a C header file of macro definitions.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The <samp>.md</samp> file for a target machine contains a pattern for each
|
||
|
|
instruction that the target machine supports (or at least each instruction
|
||
|
|
that is worth telling the compiler about). It may also contain comments.
|
||
|
|
A semicolon causes the rest of the line to be a comment, unless the semicolon
|
||
|
|
is inside a quoted string.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>See the next chapter for information on the C header file.
