<h3 class="section">17.7 Register Usage</h3>
<p><a name="index-register-usage-4044"></a>
This section explains how to describe what registers the target machine
has, and how (in general) they can be used.
<p>The description of which registers a specific instruction can use is
done with register classes; see <a href="Register-Classes.html#Register-Classes">Register Classes</a>. For information
on using registers to access a stack frame, see <a href="Frame-Registers.html#Frame-Registers">Frame Registers</a>.
For passing values in registers, see <a href="Register-Arguments.html#Register-Arguments">Register Arguments</a>.
For returning values in registers, see <a href="Scalar-Return.html#Scalar-Return">Scalar Return</a>.
