<h4 class="subsection">18.7.5 Registers That Form a Stack</h4>
<p>There are special features to handle computers where some of the
&ldquo;registers&rdquo; form a stack. Stack registers are normally written by
pushing onto the stack, and are numbered relative to the top of the
stack.
</p>
<p>Currently, GCC can only handle one group of stack-like registers, and
they must be consecutively numbered. Furthermore, the existing
support for stack-like registers is specific to the 80387 floating
point coprocessor. If you have a new architecture that uses
stack-like registers, you will need to do substantial work on
<samp>reg-stack.c</samp> and write your machine description to cooperate
with it, as well as defining these macros.
