<h4 class="subsection">16.23.3 Int Iterators</h4>

<p><a name="index-int-iterators-in-_0040file_007b_002emd_007d-files-3843"></a><a name="index-define_005fint_005fiterator-3844"></a><a name="index-define_005fint_005fattr-3845"></a>
Int iterators operate in a similar way to code iterators.  See <a href="Code-Iterators.html#Code-Iterators">Code Iterators</a>.

 <p>The construct:

<pre class="smallexample">     (define_int_iterator <var>name</var> [(<var>int1</var> "<var>cond1</var>") ... (<var>intn</var> "<var>condn</var>")])
</pre>
 <p>defines a pseudo integer constant <var>name</var> that can be instantiated as
<var>inti</var> if condition <var>condi</var> is true.  Each <var>int</var>
must have the same rtx format.  See <a href="RTL-Classes.html#RTL-Classes">RTL Classes</a>. Int iterators can appear
in only those rtx fields that have 'i' as the specifier. This means that
each <var>int</var> has to be a constant defined using define_constant or
define_c_enum.

 <p>As with mode and code iterators, each pattern that uses <var>name</var> will be
expanded <var>n</var> times, once with all uses of <var>name</var> replaced by
<var>int1</var>, once with all uses replaced by <var>int2</var>, and so on. 
See <a href="Defining-Mode-Iterators.html#Defining-Mode-Iterators">Defining Mode Iterators</a>.

 <p>It is possible to define attributes for ints as well as for codes and modes. 
Attributes are defined using:

<pre class="smallexample">     (define_int_attr <var>name</var> [(<var>int1</var> "<var>value1</var>") ... (<var>intn</var> "<var>valuen</var>")])
</pre>
 <p>Here's an example of int iterators in action, taken from the ARM port:

<pre class="smallexample">     (define_int_iterator QABSNEG [UNSPEC_VQABS UNSPEC_VQNEG])
     
     (define_int_attr absneg [(UNSPEC_VQABS "abs") (UNSPEC_VQNEG "neg")])
     
     (define_insn "neon_vq&lt;absneg&gt;&lt;mode&gt;"
       [(set (match_operand:VDQIW 0 "s_register_operand" "=w")
     	(unspec:VDQIW [(match_operand:VDQIW 1 "s_register_operand" "w")
     		       (match_operand:SI 2 "immediate_operand" "i")]
     		      QABSNEG))]
       "TARGET_NEON"
       "vq&lt;absneg&gt;.&lt;V_s_elem&gt;\t%&lt;V_reg&gt;0, %&lt;V_reg&gt;1"
       [(set_attr "type" "neon_vqneg_vqabs")]
     )
     
</pre>
 <p>This is equivalent to:

<pre class="smallexample">     (define_insn "neon_vqabs&lt;mode&gt;"
       [(set (match_operand:VDQIW 0 "s_register_operand" "=w")
     	(unspec:VDQIW [(match_operand:VDQIW 1 "s_register_operand" "w")
     		       (match_operand:SI 2 "immediate_operand" "i")]
     		      UNSPEC_VQABS))]
       "TARGET_NEON"
       "vqabs.&lt;V_s_elem&gt;\t%&lt;V_reg&gt;0, %&lt;V_reg&gt;1"
       [(set_attr "type" "neon_vqneg_vqabs")]
     )
     
     (define_insn "neon_vqneg&lt;mode&gt;"
       [(set (match_operand:VDQIW 0 "s_register_operand" "=w")
     	(unspec:VDQIW [(match_operand:VDQIW 1 "s_register_operand" "w")
     		       (match_operand:SI 2 "immediate_operand" "i")]
     		      UNSPEC_VQNEG))]
       "TARGET_NEON"
       "vqneg.&lt;V_s_elem&gt;\t%&lt;V_reg&gt;0, %&lt;V_reg&gt;1"
       [(set_attr "type" "neon_vqneg_vqabs")]
     )
     
</pre>
