<a name="index-run_002dtime-target-specification"></a>
<a name="index-predefined-macros"></a>
<a name="index-target-specifications"></a>
<p>Here are run-time target specifications.
</p>
<dl>
<dt><a name="index-TARGET_005fCPU_005fCPP_005fBUILTINS"></a>Macro: <strong>TARGET_CPU_CPP_BUILTINS</strong> <em>()</em></dt>
<dd><p>This function-like macro expands to a block of code that defines
built-in preprocessor macros and assertions for the target CPU, using
the functions <code>builtin_define</code>, <code>builtin_define_std</code> and
<code>builtin_assert</code>. When the front end
calls this macro it provides a trailing semicolon, and since it has
finished command line option processing your code can use those
results freely.
</p>
<p><code>builtin_assert</code> takes a string in the form you pass to the
command-line option <samp>-A</samp>, such as <code>cpu=mips</code>, and creates
the assertion. <code>builtin_define</code> takes a string in the form
accepted by option <samp>-D</samp> and unconditionally defines the macro.
</p>
<p><code>builtin_define_std</code> takes a string representing the name of an
object-like macro. If it doesn&rsquo;t lie in the user&rsquo;s namespace,
<code>builtin_define_std</code> defines it unconditionally. Otherwise, it
defines a version with two leading underscores, and another version
with two leading and trailing underscores, and defines the original
only if an ISO standard was not requested on the command line. For
example, passing <code>unix</code> defines <code>__unix</code>, <code>__unix__</code>
and possibly <code>unix</code>; passing <code>_mips</code> defines <code>__mips</code>,
<code>__mips__</code> and possibly <code>_mips</code>, and passing <code>_ABI64</code>
defines only <code>_ABI64</code>.
</p>
<p>You can also test for the C dialect being compiled. The variable
<code>c_language</code> is set to one of <code>clk_c</code>, <code>clk_cplusplus</code>
or <code>clk_objective_c</code>. Note that if we are preprocessing
assembler, this variable will be <code>clk_c</code> but the function-like
macro <code>preprocessing_asm_p()</code> will return true, so you might want
to check for that first. If you need to check for strict ANSI, the
variable <code>flag_iso</code> can be used. The function-like macro
<code>preprocessing_trad_p()</code> can be used to check for traditional
preprocessing.

<dl>
<dt><a name="index-TARGET_005fOS_005fCPP_005fBUILTINS"></a>Macro: <strong>TARGET_OS_CPP_BUILTINS</strong> <em>()</em></dt>
<dd><p>Similarly to <code>TARGET_CPU_CPP_BUILTINS</code> but this macro is optional
and is used for the target operating system instead.
</p></dd></dl>
<dl>
<dt><a name="index-TARGET_005fOBJFMT_005fCPP_005fBUILTINS"></a>Macro: <strong>TARGET_OBJFMT_CPP_BUILTINS</strong> <em>()</em></dt>
<dd><p>Similarly to <code>TARGET_CPU_CPP_BUILTINS</code> but this macro is optional
and is used for the target object format. <samp>elfos.h</samp> uses this
macro to define <code>__ELF__</code>, so you probably do not need to define
it yourself.
</p></dd></dl>
<dl>
<dt><a name="index-target_005fflags"></a>Variable: <em>extern int</em> <strong>target_flags</strong></dt>
<dd><p>This variable is declared in <samp>options.h</samp>, which is included before
any target-specific headers.
</p></dd></dl>
<dl>
<dt><a name="index-TARGET_005fDEFAULT_005fTARGET_005fFLAGS"></a>Common Target Hook: <em>int</em> <strong>TARGET_DEFAULT_TARGET_FLAGS</strong></dt>
<dd><p>This variable specifies the initial value of <code>target_flags</code>.
Its default setting is 0.

<dt><a name="index-TARGET_005fHANDLE_005fOPTION"></a>Common Target Hook: <em>bool</em> <strong>TARGET_HANDLE_OPTION</strong> <em>(struct gcc_options *<var>opts</var>, struct gcc_options *<var>opts_set</var>, const struct cl_decoded_option *<var>decoded</var>, location_t <var>loc</var>)</em></dt>
<dd><p>This hook is called whenever the user specifies one of the
target-specific options described by the <samp>.opt</samp> definition files
(see <a href="Options.html#Options">Options</a>). It has the opportunity to do some option-specific
processing and should return true if the option is valid. The default
definition does nothing but return true.
</p>
<p><var>decoded</var> specifies the option and its arguments. <var>opts</var> and
<var>opts_set</var> are the <code>gcc_options</code> structures to be used for
storing option state, and <var>loc</var> is the location at which the
option was passed (<code>UNKNOWN_LOCATION</code> except for options passed
via attributes).
</p></dd></dl>
<dl>
<dt><a name="index-TARGET_005fHANDLE_005fC_005fOPTION"></a>C Target Hook: <em>bool</em> <strong>TARGET_HANDLE_C_OPTION</strong> <em>(size_t <var>code</var>, const char *<var>arg</var>, int <var>value</var>)</em></dt>
<dd><p>This target hook is called whenever the user specifies one of the
target-specific C language family options described by the <samp>.opt</samp>
definition files(see <a href="Options.html#Options">Options</a>). It has the opportunity to do some
option-specific processing and should return true if the option is
valid. The arguments are like for <code>TARGET_HANDLE_OPTION</code>. The
default definition does nothing but return false.
</p>
<p>In general, you should use <code>TARGET_HANDLE_OPTION</code> to handle
options. However, if processing an option requires routines that are
only available in the C (and related language) front ends, then you
should use <code>TARGET_HANDLE_C_OPTION</code> instead.
</p></dd></dl>
<dl>
<dt><a name="index-TARGET_005fOBJC_005fCONSTRUCT_005fSTRING_005fOBJECT"></a>C Target Hook: <em>tree</em> <strong>TARGET_OBJC_CONSTRUCT_STRING_OBJECT</strong> <em>(tree <var>string</var>)</em></dt>
<dd><p>Targets may provide a string object type that can be used within and between C, C++ and their respective Objective-C dialects. A string object might, for example, embed encoding and length information. These objects are considered opaque to the compiler and handled as references. An ideal implementation makes the composition of the string object match that of the Objective-C <code>NSString</code> (<code>NXString</code> for GNUStep), allowing efficient interworking between C-only and Objective-C code. If a target implements string objects then this hook should return a reference to such an object constructed from the normal &lsquo;C&rsquo; string representation provided in <var>string</var>. At present, the hook is used by Objective-C only, to obtain a common-format string object when the target provides one.
</p></dd></dl>

<dd><p>Declare that Objective C class <var>classname</var> is referenced by the current TU.

<dd><p>Declare that Objective C class <var>classname</var> is defined by the current TU.
</p></dd></dl>

<dd><p>If a target implements string objects then this hook should return <code>true</code> if <var>stringref</var> is a valid reference to such an object.
</p></dd></dl>
<dl>
<dt><a name="index-TARGET_005fCHECK_005fSTRING_005fOBJECT_005fFORMAT_005fARG"></a>C Target Hook: <em>void</em> <strong>TARGET_CHECK_STRING_OBJECT_FORMAT_ARG</strong> <em>(tree <var>format_arg</var>, tree <var>args_list</var>)</em></dt>
<dd><p>If a target implements string objects then this hook should should provide a facility to check the function arguments in <var>args_list</var> against the format specifiers in <var>format_arg</var> where the type of <var>format_arg</var> is one recognized as a valid string reference type.
</p></dd></dl>
<dl>
<dt><a name="index-TARGET_005fOVERRIDE_005fOPTIONS_005fAFTER_005fCHANGE"></a>Target Hook: <em>void</em> <strong>TARGET_OVERRIDE_OPTIONS_AFTER_CHANGE</strong> <em>(void)</em></dt>
<dd><p>This target function is similar to the hook <code>TARGET_OPTION_OVERRIDE</code>
but is called when the optimize level is changed via an attribute or
pragma or when it is reset at the end of the code affected by the
attribute or pragma. It is not called at the beginning of compilation
when <code>TARGET_OPTION_OVERRIDE</code> is called so if you want to perform these
actions then, you should have <code>TARGET_OPTION_OVERRIDE</code> call
<code>TARGET_OVERRIDE_OPTIONS_AFTER_CHANGE</code>.
</p></dd></dl>
<dl>
<dt><a name="index-C_005fCOMMON_005fOVERRIDE_005fOPTIONS"></a>Macro: <strong>C_COMMON_OVERRIDE_OPTIONS</strong></dt>
<dd><p>This is similar to the <code>TARGET_OPTION_OVERRIDE</code> hook
but is only used in the C
language frontends (C, Objective-C, C++, Objective-C++) and so can be
used to alter option flag variables which only exist in those
frontends.
</p></dd></dl>
<dl>
<dt><a name="index-TARGET_005fOPTION_005fOPTIMIZATION_005fTABLE"></a>Common Target Hook: <em>const struct default_options *</em> <strong>TARGET_OPTION_OPTIMIZATION_TABLE</strong></dt>
<dd><p>Some machines may desire to change what optimizations are performed for
various optimization levels. This variable, if defined, describes
options to enable at particular sets of optimization levels. These
options are processed once
just after the optimization level is determined and before the remainder
of the command options have been parsed, so may be overridden by other
options passed explicitly.
</p>
<p>This processing is run once at program startup and when the optimization
options are changed via <code>#pragma GCC optimize</code> or by using the
<code>optimize</code> attribute.
</p></dd></dl>
<dl>
<dt><a name="index-TARGET_005fOPTION_005fINIT_005fSTRUCT"></a>Common Target Hook: <em>void</em> <strong>TARGET_OPTION_INIT_STRUCT</strong> <em>(struct gcc_options *<var>opts</var>)</em></dt>
<dd><p>Set target-dependent initial values of fields in <var>opts</var>.
</p></dd></dl>
<dl>
<dt><a name="index-TARGET_005fOPTION_005fDEFAULT_005fPARAMS"></a>Common Target Hook: <em>void</em> <strong>TARGET_OPTION_DEFAULT_PARAMS</strong> <em>(void)</em></dt>
<dd><p>Set target-dependent default values for <samp>--param</samp> settings, using calls to <code>set_default_param_value</code>.
</p></dd></dl>
<dl>
<dt><a name="index-SWITCHABLE_005fTARGET"></a>Macro: <strong>SWITCHABLE_TARGET</strong></dt>
<dd><p>Some targets need to switch between substantially different subtargets
during compilation. For example, the MIPS target has one subtarget for
the traditional MIPS architecture and another for MIPS16. Source code
can switch between these two subarchitectures using the <code>mips16</code>
and <code>nomips16</code> attributes.
</p>
<p>Such subtargets can differ in things like the set of available
registers, the set of available instructions, the costs of various
operations, and so on. GCC caches a lot of this type of information
in global variables, and recomputing them for each subtarget takes a
significant amount of time. The compiler therefore provides a facility
for maintaining several versions of the global variables and quickly
switching between them; see <samp>target-globals.h</samp> for details.
</p>
<p>Define this macro to 1 if your target needs this facility. The default
is 0.
</p></dd></dl>
<dl>
<dt><a name="index-TARGET_005fFLOAT_005fEXCEPTIONS_005fROUNDING_005fSUPPORTED_005fP"></a>Target Hook: <em>bool</em> <strong>TARGET_FLOAT_EXCEPTIONS_ROUNDING_SUPPORTED_P</strong> <em>(void)</em></dt>
<dd><p>Returns true if the target supports IEEE 754 floating-point exceptions and rounding modes, false otherwise. This is intended to relate to the <code>float</code> and <code>double</code> types, but not necessarily <code>long double</code>. By default, returns true if the <code>adddf3</code> instruction pattern is available and false otherwise, on the assumption that hardware floating point supports exceptions and rounding modes but software floating point does not.
