|

<a name="index-conditional-execution"></a>

<a name="index-predication"></a>
|
|
|
|
<p>A number of architectures provide for some form of conditional
|
|
execution, or predication. The hallmark of this feature is the
|
|
ability to nullify most of the instructions in the instruction set.
|
|
When the instruction set is large and not entirely symmetric, it
|
|
can be quite tedious to describe these forms directly in the
|
|
<samp>.md</samp> file. An alternative is the <code>define_cond_exec</code> template.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<a name="index-define_005fcond_005fexec"></a>
|
|
<div class="smallexample">
|
|
<pre class="smallexample">(define_cond_exec
|
|
[<var>predicate-pattern</var>]
|
|
"<var>condition</var>"
|
|
"<var>output-template</var>"
|
|
"<var>optional-insn-attribues</var>")
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p><var>predicate-pattern</var> is the condition that must be true for the
|
|
insn to be executed at runtime and should match a relational operator.
|
|
One can use <code>match_operator</code> to match several relational operators
|
|
at once. Any <code>match_operand</code> operands must have no more than one
|
|
alternative.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p><var>condition</var> is a C expression that must be true for the generated
|
|
pattern to match.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<a name="index-current_005finsn_005fpredicate"></a>
|
|
<p><var>output-template</var> is a string similar to the <code>define_insn</code>
|
|
output template (see <a href="Output-Template.html#Output-Template">Output Template</a>), except that the ‘<samp>*</samp>’
|
|
and ‘<samp>@</samp>’ special cases do not apply. This is only useful if the
|
|
assembly text for the predicate is a simple prefix to the main insn.
|
|
In order to handle the general case, there is a global variable
|
|
<code>current_insn_predicate</code> that will contain the entire predicate
|
|
if the current insn is predicated, and will otherwise be <code>NULL</code>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p><var>optional-insn-attributes</var> is an optional vector of attributes that gets
|
|
appended to the insn attributes of the produced cond_exec rtx. It can
|
|
be used to add some distinguishing attribute to cond_exec rtxs produced
|
|
that way. An example usage would be to use this attribute in conjunction
|
|
with attributes on the main pattern to disable particular alternatives under
|
|
certain conditions.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>When <code>define_cond_exec</code> is used, an implicit reference to
|
|
the <code>predicable</code> instruction attribute is made.
|
|
See <a href="Insn-Attributes.html#Insn-Attributes">Insn Attributes</a>. This attribute must be a boolean (i.e. have
|
|
exactly two elements in its <var>list-of-values</var>), with the possible
|
|
values being <code>no</code> and <code>yes</code>. The default and all uses in
|
|
the insns must be a simple constant, not a complex expressions. It
|
|
may, however, depend on the alternative, by using a comma-separated
|
|
list of values. If that is the case, the port should also define an
|
|
<code>enabled</code> attribute (see <a href="Disable-Insn-Alternatives.html#Disable-Insn-Alternatives">Disable Insn Alternatives</a>), which
|
|
should also allow only <code>no</code> and <code>yes</code> as its values.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>For each <code>define_insn</code> for which the <code>predicable</code>
|
|
attribute is true, a new <code>define_insn</code> pattern will be
|
|
generated that matches a predicated version of the instruction.
|
|
For example,
