|
|
<p>A machine mode describes a size of data object and the representation used
|
|
for it. In the C code, machine modes are represented by an enumeration
|
|
type, <code>machine_mode</code>, defined in <samp>machmode.def</samp>. Each RTL
|
|
expression has room for a machine mode and so do certain kinds of tree
|
|
expressions (declarations and types, to be precise).
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>In debugging dumps and machine descriptions, the machine mode of an RTL
|
|
expression is written after the expression code with a colon to separate
|
|
them. The letters ‘<samp>mode</samp>’ which appear at the end of each machine mode
|
|
name are omitted. For example, <code>(reg:SI 38)</code> is a <code>reg</code>
|
|
expression with machine mode <code>SImode</code>. If the mode is
|
|
<code>VOIDmode</code>, it is not written at all.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Here is a table of machine modes. The term “byte” below refers to an
|
|
object of <code>BITS_PER_UNIT</code> bits (see <a href="Storage-Layout.html#Storage-Layout">Storage Layout</a>).

|
<p>The machine description defines <code>Pmode</code> as a C macro which expands
|
|
into the machine mode used for addresses. Normally this is the mode
|
|
whose size is <code>BITS_PER_WORD</code>, <code>SImode</code> on 32-bit machines.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The only modes which a machine description <i>must</i> support are
|
|
<code>QImode</code>, and the modes corresponding to <code>BITS_PER_WORD</code>,
|
|
<code>FLOAT_TYPE_SIZE</code> and <code>DOUBLE_TYPE_SIZE</code>.
|
|
The compiler will attempt to use <code>DImode</code> for 8-byte structures and
|
|
unions, but this can be prevented by overriding the definition of
|
|
<code>MAX_FIXED_MODE_SIZE</code>. Alternatively, you can have the compiler
|
|
use <code>TImode</code> for 16-byte structures and unions. Likewise, you can
|
|
arrange for the C type <code>short int</code> to avoid using <code>HImode</code>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<a name="index-mode-classes"></a>
|
|
<p>Very few explicit references to machine modes remain in the compiler and
|
|
these few references will soon be removed. Instead, the machine modes
|
|
are divided into mode classes. These are represented by the enumeration
|
|
type <code>enum mode_class</code> defined in <samp>machmode.h</samp>. The possible

mode classes are:

|
<p>Named modes use the most constrained of the available wrapper classes,
|
|
if one exists, otherwise they use <code>machine_mode</code>. For example,
|
|
<code>QImode</code> is a <code>scalar_int_mode</code>, <code>SFmode</code> is a
|
|
<code>scalar_float_mode</code> and <code>BLKmode</code> is a plain
|
|
<code>machine_mode</code>. It is possible to refer to any mode as a raw
|
|
<code>machine_mode</code> by adding the <code>E_</code> prefix, where <code>E</code>
|
|
stands for “enumeration”. For example, the raw <code>machine_mode</code>
|
|
names of the modes just mentioned are <code>E_QImode</code>, <code>E_SFmode</code>
|
|
and <code>E_BLKmode</code> respectively.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The wrapper classes implicitly convert to <code>machine_mode</code> and to any
|
|
wrapper class that represents a more general condition; for example
|
|
<code>scalar_int_mode</code> and <code>scalar_float_mode</code> both convert
|
|
to <code>scalar_mode</code> and all three convert to <code>fixed_size_mode</code>.
|
|
The classes act like <code>machine_mode</code>s that accept only certain
|
|
named modes.
|
|
</p>
|

<a name="index-opt_005fmode"></a>

that holds a <code>T</code> or nothing, where <code>T</code> can be either

<code>machine_mode</code> or one of the wrapper classes above. The main

|
<p>The purpose of these wrapper classes is to give stronger static type
|
|
checking. For example, if a function takes a <code>scalar_int_mode</code>,
|
|
a caller that has a general <code>machine_mode</code> must either check or
|
|
assert that the code is indeed a scalar integer first, using one of
|
|
the functions above.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The wrapper classes are normal C++ classes, with user-defined
|
|
constructors. Sometimes it is useful to have a POD version of
|
|
the same type, particularly if the type appears in a <code>union</code>.
|
|
The template class <code>pod_mode<<var>T</var>></code> provides a POD version
|
|
of wrapper class <var>T</var>. It is assignment-compatible with <var>T</var>
|
|
and implicitly converts to both <code>machine_mode</code> and <var>T</var>.
