<a name="index-RTL-expressions-for-arithmetic"></a>
<p>Unless otherwise specified, all the operands of arithmetic expressions
must be valid for mode <var>m</var>. An operand is valid for mode <var>m</var>
if it has mode <var>m</var>, or if it is a <code>const_int</code> or
<code>const_double</code> and <var>m</var> is a mode of class <code>MODE_INT</code>.
</p>
<p>For commutative binary operations, constants should be placed in the
second operand.

<dt><code>(us_plus:<var>m</var> <var>x</var> <var>y</var>)</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>These three expressions all represent the sum of the values
represented by <var>x</var> and <var>y</var> carried out in machine mode
<var>m</var>. They differ in their behavior on overflow of integer modes.
<code>plus</code> wraps round modulo the width of <var>m</var>; <code>ss_plus</code>
saturates at the maximum signed value representable in <var>m</var>;
<code>us_plus</code> saturates at the maximum unsigned value.
</p>
<a name="index-lo_005fsum"></a>
</dd>
<dt><code>(lo_sum:<var>m</var> <var>x</var> <var>y</var>)</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>This expression represents the sum of <var>x</var> and the low-order bits
of <var>y</var>. It is used with <code>high</code> (see <a href="Constants.html#Constants">Constants</a>) to
represent the typical two-instruction sequence used in RISC machines
to reference a global memory location.
</p>
<p>The number of low order bits is machine-dependent but is
normally the number of bits in a <code>Pmode</code> item minus the number of
bits set by <code>high</code>.
</p>
<p><var>m</var> should be <code>Pmode</code>.

<dt><code>(us_minus:<var>m</var> <var>x</var> <var>y</var>)</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>These three expressions represent the result of subtracting <var>y</var>
from <var>x</var>, carried out in mode <var>M</var>. Behavior on overflow is
the same as for the three variants of <code>plus</code> (see above).
</p>
<a name="index-compare"></a>
<a name="index-RTL-comparison"></a>
</dd>
<dt><code>(compare:<var>m</var> <var>x</var> <var>y</var>)</code></dt>
<dd><p>Represents the result of subtracting <var>y</var> from <var>x</var> for purposes
of comparison. The result is computed without overflow, as if with
infinite precision.
</p>
<p>Of course, machines cannot really subtract with infinite precision.
However, they can pretend to do so when only the sign of the result will
be used, which is the case when the result is stored in the condition
code. And that is the <em>only</em> way this kind of expression may
validly be used: as a value to be stored in the condition codes, either
<code>(cc0)</code> or a register. See <a href="Comparisons.html#Comparisons">Comparisons</a>.
</p>
<p>The mode <var>m</var> is not related to the modes of <var>x</var> and <var>y</var>, but
instead is the mode of the condition code value. If <code>(cc0)</code> is
used, it is <code>VOIDmode</code>. Otherwise it is some mode in class
<code>MODE_CC</code>, often <code>CCmode</code>. See <a href="Condition-Code.html#Condition-Code">Condition Code</a>. If <var>m</var>
is <code>VOIDmode</code> or <code>CCmode</code>, the operation returns sufficient
information (in an unspecified format) so that any comparison operator
can be applied to the result of the <code>COMPARE</code> operation. For other
modes in class <code>MODE_CC</code>, the operation only returns a subset of
this information.
</p>
<p>Normally, <var>x</var> and <var>y</var> must have the same mode. Otherwise,
<code>compare</code> is valid only if the mode of <var>x</var> is in class
<code>MODE_INT</code> and <var>y</var> is a <code>const_int</code> or
<code>const_double</code> with mode <code>VOIDmode</code>. The mode of <var>x</var>
determines what mode the comparison is to be done in; thus it must not
be <code>VOIDmode</code>.
</p>
<p>If one of the operands is a constant, it should be placed in the
second operand and the comparison code adjusted as appropriate.
</p>
<p>A <code>compare</code> specifying two <code>VOIDmode</code> constants is not valid
since there is no way to know in what mode the comparison is to be
performed; the comparison must either be folded during the compilation
or the first operand must be loaded into a register while its mode is
still known.

<dd><p>These two expressions represent the negation (subtraction from zero) of
the value represented by <var>x</var>, carried out in mode <var>m</var>. They
differ in the behavior on overflow of integer modes. In the case of
<code>neg</code>, the negation of the operand may be a number not representable
in mode <var>m</var>, in which case it is truncated to <var>m</var>. <code>ss_neg</code>
and <code>us_neg</code> ensure that an out-of-bounds result saturates to the
maximum or minimum signed or unsigned value.

<dd><p>Represents the signed product of the values represented by <var>x</var> and

<code>ss_mult</code> and <code>us_mult</code> ensure that an out-of-bounds result
saturates to the maximum or minimum signed or unsigned value.
</p>
<p>Some machines support a multiplication that generates a product wider
than the operands. Write the pattern for this as
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">(mult:<var>m</var> (sign_extend:<var>m</var> <var>x</var>) (sign_extend:<var>m</var> <var>y</var>))
</pre></div>
<p>where <var>m</var> is wider than the modes of <var>x</var> and <var>y</var>, which need
not be the same.
</p>
<p>For unsigned widening multiplication, use the same idiom, but with
<code>zero_extend</code> instead of <code>sign_extend</code>.

<dt><code>(fma:<var>m</var> <var>x</var> <var>y</var> <var>z</var>)</code></dt>

mode, it represents the exact quotient; otherwise, the integerized
quotient.
<code>ss_div</code> ensures that an out-of-bounds result saturates to the maximum
or minimum signed value.
</p>
<p>Some machines have division instructions in which the operands and
quotient widths are not all the same; you should represent
such instructions using <code>truncate</code> and <code>sign_extend</code> as in,

saturates to the minimum or maximum representable value if any of the bits
shifted out differs from the final sign bit.

be a fixed-point mode or be a constant with mode <code>VOIDmode</code>; which
