|
|
On many machines, the numbered registers are not all equivalent.
|
|
For example, certain registers may not be allowed for indexed addressing;
|
|
certain registers may not be allowed in some instructions. These machine
|
|
restrictions are described to the compiler using <dfn>register classes</dfn>.
|
|
|
|
<p>You define a number of register classes, giving each one a name and saying
|
|
which of the registers belong to it. Then you can specify register classes
|
|
that are allowed as operands to particular instruction patterns.
|
|
|
|
<p><a name="index-ALL_005fREGS-4100"></a><a name="index-NO_005fREGS-4101"></a>In general, each register will belong to several classes. In fact, one
|
|
class must be named <code>ALL_REGS</code> and contain all the registers. Another
|
|
class must be named <code>NO_REGS</code> and contain no registers. Often the
|
|
union of two classes will be another class; however, this is not required.
|
|
|
|
<p><a name="index-GENERAL_005fREGS-4102"></a>One of the classes must be named <code>GENERAL_REGS</code>. There is nothing
|
|
terribly special about the name, but the operand constraint letters
|
|
‘<samp><span class="samp">r</span></samp>’ and ‘<samp><span class="samp">g</span></samp>’ specify this class. If <code>GENERAL_REGS</code> is
|
|
the same as <code>ALL_REGS</code>, just define it as a macro which expands
|
|
to <code>ALL_REGS</code>.
|
|
|
|
<p>Order the classes so that if class <var>x</var> is contained in class <var>y</var>
|
|
then <var>x</var> has a lower class number than <var>y</var>.
|
|
|
|
<p>The way classes other than <code>GENERAL_REGS</code> are specified in operand
|
|
constraints is through machine-dependent operand constraint letters.
|
|
You can define such letters to correspond to various classes, then use
|
|
them in operand constraints.
|
|
|
|
<p>You must define the narrowest register classes for allocatable
|
|
registers, so that each class either has no subclasses, or that for
|
|
some mode, the move cost between registers within the class is
|
|
cheaper than moving a register in the class to or from memory
|
|
(see <a href="Costs.html#Costs">Costs</a>).
|
|
|
|
<p>You should define a class for the union of two classes whenever some
|
|
instruction allows both classes. For example, if an instruction allows
|
|
either a floating point (coprocessor) register or a general register for a
|
|
certain operand, you should define a class <code>FLOAT_OR_GENERAL_REGS</code>
|
|
which includes both of them. Otherwise you will get suboptimal code,
|
|
or even internal compiler errors when reload cannot find a register in the
|
|
class computed via <code>reg_class_subunion</code>.
|
|
|
|
<p>You must also specify certain redundant information about the register
|
|
classes: for each class, which classes contain it and which ones are
|
|
contained in it; for each pair of classes, the largest class contained
|
|
in their union.
|
|
|
|
<p>When a value occupying several consecutive registers is expected in a
|
|
certain class, all the registers used must belong to that class.
|
|
Therefore, register classes cannot be used to enforce a requirement for
|
|
a register pair to start with an even-numbered register. The way to
|
|
specify this requirement is with <code>HARD_REGNO_MODE_OK</code>.
|
|
|
|
<p>Register classes used for input-operands of bitwise-and or shift
|
|
instructions have a special requirement: each such class must have, for
|
|
each fixed-point machine mode, a subclass whose registers can transfer that
|
|
mode to or from memory. For example, on some machines, the operations for
|
|
single-byte values (<code>QImode</code>) are limited to certain registers. When
|
|
this is so, each register class that is used in a bitwise-and or shift
|
|
instruction must have a subclass consisting of registers from which
|
|
single-byte values can be loaded or stored. This is so that
|
|
<code>PREFERRED_RELOAD_CLASS</code> can always have a possible value to return.

|
|
|
|
<p>When the machine has more than 32 registers, an integer does not suffice.

Then the integers are replaced by sub-initializers, braced groupings containing

several integers. Each sub-initializer must be suitable as an initializer

<p>The default version of this hook always returns value of <code>rclass</code> argument.

<p>Sometimes returning a more restrictive class makes better code. For

example, on the 68000, when <var>x</var> is an integer constant that is in range

loaded into some register class. By returning <code>NO_REGS</code> you can

|
force <var>x</var> into a memory location. For example, rs6000 can load

immediate values into general-purpose registers, but does not have an

register, so <code>TARGET_PREFERRED_RELOAD_CLASS</code> returns <code>NO_REGS</code> when

into any kind of register, code generation will be better if

|
<code>TARGET_LEGITIMATE_CONSTANT_P</code> makes the constant illegitimate instead
|
|
of using <code>TARGET_PREFERRED_RELOAD_CLASS</code>.

|
|
<p>If an insn has pseudos in it after register allocation, reload will go

|
through the alternatives and call repeatedly <code>TARGET_PREFERRED_RELOAD_CLASS</code>

|
to find the best one. Returning <code>NO_REGS</code>, in this case, makes

reload add a <code>!</code> in front of the constraint: the x86 back-end uses

this feature to discourage usage of 387 registers when math is done in

|
the SSE registers (and vice versa).

<blockquote><p>Many machines have some registers that cannot be copied directly to or
|
|
from memory or even from other types of registers. An example is the
|
|
‘<samp><span class="samp">MQ</span></samp>’ register, which on most machines, can only be copied to or
|
|
from general registers, but not memory. Below, we shall be using the
|
|
term 'intermediate register' when a move operation cannot be performed
|
|
directly, but has to be done by copying the source into the intermediate
|
|
register first, and then copying the intermediate register to the
|
|
destination. An intermediate register always has the same mode as
|
|
source and destination. Since it holds the actual value being copied,
|
|
reload might apply optimizations to re-use an intermediate register
|
|
and eliding the copy from the source when it can determine that the
|
|
intermediate register still holds the required value.
|
|
|
|
<p>Another kind of secondary reload is required on some machines which
|
|
allow copying all registers to and from memory, but require a scratch
|
|
register for stores to some memory locations (e.g., those with symbolic
|
|
address on the RT, and those with certain symbolic address on the SPARC
|
|
when compiling PIC). Scratch registers need not have the same mode
|
|
as the value being copied, and usually hold a different value than
|
|
that being copied. Special patterns in the md file are needed to
|
|
describe how the copy is performed with the help of the scratch register;
|
|
these patterns also describe the number, register class(es) and mode(s)
|
|
of the scratch register(s).
|
|
|
|
<p>In some cases, both an intermediate and a scratch register are required.
|
|
|
|
<p>For input reloads, this target hook is called with nonzero <var>in_p</var>,
|
|
and <var>x</var> is an rtx that needs to be copied to a register of class
|
|
<var>reload_class</var> in <var>reload_mode</var>. For output reloads, this target
|
|
hook is called with zero <var>in_p</var>, and a register of class <var>reload_class</var>
|
|
needs to be copied to rtx <var>x</var> in <var>reload_mode</var>.
|
|
|
|
<p>If copying a register of <var>reload_class</var> from/to <var>x</var> requires
|
|
an intermediate register, the hook <code>secondary_reload</code> should
|
|
return the register class required for this intermediate register.
|
|
If no intermediate register is required, it should return NO_REGS.
|
|
If more than one intermediate register is required, describe the one
|
|
that is closest in the copy chain to the reload register.
|
|
|
|
<p>If scratch registers are needed, you also have to describe how to
|
|
perform the copy from/to the reload register to/from this
|
|
closest intermediate register. Or if no intermediate register is
|
|
required, but still a scratch register is needed, describe the
|
|
copy from/to the reload register to/from the reload operand <var>x</var>.
|
|
|
|
<p>You do this by setting <code>sri->icode</code> to the instruction code of a pattern
|
|
in the md file which performs the move. Operands 0 and 1 are the output
|
|
and input of this copy, respectively. Operands from operand 2 onward are
|
|
for scratch operands. These scratch operands must have a mode, and a
|
|
single-register-class
|
|
<!-- [later: or memory] -->
|
|
output constraint.
|
|
|
|
<p>When an intermediate register is used, the <code>secondary_reload</code>
|
|
hook will be called again to determine how to copy the intermediate
|
|
register to/from the reload operand <var>x</var>, so your hook must also
|
|
have code to handle the register class of the intermediate operand.
|
|
|
|
<!-- [For later: maybe we'll allow multi-alternative reload patterns - -->
|
|
<!-- the port maintainer could name a mov<mode> pattern that has clobbers - -->
|
|
<!-- and match the constraints of input and output to determine the required -->
|
|
<!-- alternative. A restriction would be that constraints used to match -->
|
|
<!-- against reloads registers would have to be written as register class -->
|
|
<!-- constraints, or we need a new target macro / hook that tells us if an -->
|
|
<!-- arbitrary constraint can match an unknown register of a given class. -->
|
|
<!-- Such a macro / hook would also be useful in other places.] -->
|
|
<p><var>x</var> might be a pseudo-register or a <code>subreg</code> of a
|
|
pseudo-register, which could either be in a hard register or in memory.
|
|
Use <code>true_regnum</code> to find out; it will return −1 if the pseudo is
|
|
in memory and the hard register number if it is in a register.
|
|
|
|
<p>Scratch operands in memory (constraint <code>"=m"</code> / <code>"=&m"</code>) are
|
|
currently not supported. For the time being, you will have to continue
|
|
to use <code>SECONDARY_MEMORY_NEEDED</code> for that purpose.
|
|
|
|
<p><code>copy_cost</code> also uses this target hook to find out how values are
|
|
copied. If you want it to include some extra cost for the need to allocate
|
|
(a) scratch register(s), set <code>sri->extra_cost</code> to the additional cost.
|
|
Or if two dependent moves are supposed to have a lower cost than the sum
|
|
of the individual moves due to expected fortuitous scheduling and/or special
|
|
forwarding logic, you can set <code>sri->extra_cost</code> to a negative amount.

|
|
|
|
<p>These are obsolete macros, replaced by the <code>TARGET_SECONDARY_RELOAD</code>
|
|
target hook. Older ports still define these macros to indicate to the
|
|
reload phase that it may
|
|
need to allocate at least one register for a reload in addition to the
|
|
register to contain the data. Specifically, if copying <var>x</var> to a
|
|
register <var>class</var> in <var>mode</var> requires an intermediate register,
|
|
you were supposed to define <code>SECONDARY_INPUT_RELOAD_CLASS</code> to return the
|
|
largest register class all of whose registers can be used as
|
|
intermediate registers or scratch registers.
|
|
|
|
<p>If copying a register <var>class</var> in <var>mode</var> to <var>x</var> requires an
|
|
intermediate or scratch register, <code>SECONDARY_OUTPUT_RELOAD_CLASS</code>
|
|
was supposed to be defined be defined to return the largest register
|
|
class required. If the
|
|
requirements for input and output reloads were the same, the macro
|
|
<code>SECONDARY_RELOAD_CLASS</code> should have been used instead of defining both
|
|
macros identically.
|
|
|
|
<p>The values returned by these macros are often <code>GENERAL_REGS</code>.
|
|
Return <code>NO_REGS</code> if no spare register is needed; i.e., if <var>x</var>
|
|
can be directly copied to or from a register of <var>class</var> in
|
|
<var>mode</var> without requiring a scratch register. Do not define this
|
|
macro if it would always return <code>NO_REGS</code>.
|
|
|
|
<p>If a scratch register is required (either with or without an
|
|
intermediate register), you were supposed to define patterns for
|
|
‘<samp><span class="samp">reload_in</span><var>m</var></samp>’ or ‘<samp><span class="samp">reload_out</span><var>m</var></samp>’, as required
|
|
(see <a href="Standard-Names.html#Standard-Names">Standard Names</a>. These patterns, which were normally
|
|
implemented with a <code>define_expand</code>, should be similar to the
|
|
‘<samp><span class="samp">mov</span><var>m</var></samp>’ patterns, except that operand 2 is the scratch
|
|
register.
|
|
|
|
<p>These patterns need constraints for the reload register and scratch
|
|
register that
|
|
contain a single register class. If the original reload register (whose
|
|
class is <var>class</var>) can meet the constraint given in the pattern, the
|
|
value returned by these macros is used for the class of the scratch
|
|
register. Otherwise, two additional reload registers are required.
|
|
Their classes are obtained from the constraints in the insn pattern.
|
|
|
|
<p><var>x</var> might be a pseudo-register or a <code>subreg</code> of a
|
|
pseudo-register, which could either be in a hard register or in memory.
|
|
Use <code>true_regnum</code> to find out; it will return −1 if the pseudo is
|
|
in memory and the hard register number if it is in a register.
|
|
|
|
<p>These macros should not be used in the case where a particular class of
|
|
registers can only be copied to memory and not to another class of
|
|
registers. In that case, secondary reload registers are not needed and
|
|
would not be helpful. Instead, a stack location must be used to perform
|
|
the copy and the <code>mov</code><var>m</var> pattern should use memory as an
|
|
intermediate storage. This case often occurs between floating-point and
|
|
general registers.
