<h4 class="subsection">17.8.6 Disable insn alternatives using the <code>enabled</code> attribute</h4>
|
|
<a name="index-enabled"></a>
|
|
|
|
<p>There are three insn attributes that may be used to selectively disable
|
|
instruction alternatives:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<dl compact="compact">
|
|
<dt><code>enabled</code></dt>
|
|
<dd><p>Says whether an alternative is available on the current subtarget.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt><code>preferred_for_size</code></dt>
|
|
<dd><p>Says whether an enabled alternative should be used in code that is
|
|
optimized for size.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt><code>preferred_for_speed</code></dt>
|
|
<dd><p>Says whether an enabled alternative should be used in code that is
|
|
optimized for speed.
|
|
</p></dd>
|
|
</dl>
|
|
|
|
<p>All these attributes should use <code>(const_int 1)</code> to allow an alternative
|
|
or <code>(const_int 0)</code> to disallow it. The attributes must be a static
|
|
property of the subtarget; they cannot for example depend on the
|
|
current operands, on the current optimization level, on the location
|
|
of the insn within the body of a loop, on whether register allocation
|
|
has finished, or on the current compiler pass.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The <code>enabled</code> attribute is a correctness property. It tells GCC to act
|
|
as though the disabled alternatives were never defined in the first place.
|
|
This is useful when adding new instructions to an existing pattern in
|
|
cases where the new instructions are only available for certain cpu
|
|
architecture levels (typically mapped to the <code>-march=</code> command-line
|
|
option).
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>In contrast, the <code>preferred_for_size</code> and <code>preferred_for_speed</code>
|
|
attributes are strong optimization hints rather than correctness properties.
|
|
<code>preferred_for_size</code> tells GCC which alternatives to consider when
|
|
adding or modifying an instruction that GCC wants to optimize for size.
|
|
<code>preferred_for_speed</code> does the same thing for speed. Note that things
|
|
like code motion can lead to cases where code optimized for size uses
|
|
alternatives that are not preferred for size, and similarly for speed.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Although <code>define_insn</code>s can in principle specify the <code>enabled</code>
|
|
attribute directly, it is often clearer to have subsiduary attributes
|
|
for each architectural feature of interest. The <code>define_insn</code>s
|
|
can then use these subsiduary attributes to say which alternatives
|
|
require which features. The example below does this for <code>cpu_facility</code>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>E.g. the following two patterns could easily be merged using the <code>enabled</code>
|
|
attribute:
