<h3 class="section">18.8 Register Classes</h3>
|
|
<a name="index-register-class-definitions"></a>
|
|
<a name="index-class-definitions_002c-register"></a>
|
|
|
|
<p>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 <em>register classes</em>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<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"></a>
|
|
<a name="index-NO_005fREGS"></a>
|
|
<p>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"></a>
|
|
<p>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>r</samp>’ and ‘<samp>g</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>
|
|
<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>
|
|
<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>
|
|
<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>
|
|
<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>
|
|
<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>
|
|
<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>TARGET_HARD_REGNO_MODE_OK</code>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<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.

<dd><p>An enumerated type that must be defined with all the register class names

|
as enumerated values. <code>NO_REGS</code> must be first. <code>ALL_REGS</code>
|
|
must be the last register class, followed by one more enumerated value,
|
|
<code>LIM_REG_CLASSES</code>, which is not a register class but rather
|
|
tells how many classes there are.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Each register class has a number, which is the value of casting
|
|
the class name to type <code>int</code>. The number serves as an index
|
|
in many of the tables described below.

<dd><p>An initializer containing the contents of the register classes, as integers

which are bit masks. The <var>n</var>th integer specifies the contents of class

|
|
register <var>r</var> is in the class if <code><var>mask</var> & (1 << <var>r</var>)</code> is 1.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<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
|
|
for the type <code>HARD_REG_SET</code> which is defined in <samp>hard-reg-set.h</samp>.
|
|
In this situation, the first integer in each sub-initializer corresponds to
|
|
registers 0 through 31, the second integer to registers 32 through 63, and
|
|
so on.

<p>The difference between an index register and a base register is that

labeling is used must fit the machine’s constraints of which registers

|
looking for one that is valid, and will reload one or both registers
|
|
only if neither labeling works.

Sometimes returning a more restrictive class makes better code. For example, on ARM, thumb-2 instructions using <code>LO_REGS</code> may be smaller than instructions using <code>GENERIC_REGS</code>.

|
|
<dd><p>A target hook that places additional restrictions on the register class
|
|
to use when it is necessary to copy value <var>x</var> into a register in class
|
|
<var>rclass</var>. The value is a register class; perhaps <var>rclass</var>, or perhaps
|
|
another, smaller class.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The default version of this hook always returns value of <code>rclass</code> argument.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<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
|
|
for a ‘<samp>moveq</samp>’ instruction, the value of this macro is always
|
|
<code>DATA_REGS</code> as long as <var>rclass</var> includes the data registers.
|
|
Requiring a data register guarantees that a ‘<samp>moveq</samp>’ will be used.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>One case where <code>TARGET_PREFERRED_RELOAD_CLASS</code> must not return
|
|
<var>rclass</var> is if <var>x</var> is a legitimate constant which cannot be
|
|
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
|
|
instruction for loading an immediate value into a floating-point
|
|
register, so <code>TARGET_PREFERRED_RELOAD_CLASS</code> returns <code>NO_REGS</code> when
|
|
<var>x</var> is a floating-point constant. If the constant can’t be loaded
|
|
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>
|
|
<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).

to use when it is necessary to copy value <var>x</var> into a register in class
|
|
<var>class</var>. The value is a register class; perhaps <var>class</var>, or perhaps
|
|
another, smaller class. On many machines, the following definition is
|
|
safe:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="smallexample">
|
|
<pre class="smallexample">#define PREFERRED_RELOAD_CLASS(X,CLASS) CLASS
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<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
|
|
for a ‘<samp>moveq</samp>’ instruction, the value of this macro is always
|
|
<code>DATA_REGS</code> as long as <var>class</var> includes the data registers.
|
|
Requiring a data register guarantees that a ‘<samp>moveq</samp>’ will be used.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>One case where <code>PREFERRED_RELOAD_CLASS</code> must not return
|
|
<var>class</var> is if <var>x</var> is a legitimate constant which cannot be
|
|
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
|
|
instruction for loading an immediate value into a floating-point
|
|
register, so <code>PREFERRED_RELOAD_CLASS</code> returns <code>NO_REGS</code> when
|
|
<var>x</var> is a floating-point constant. If the constant cannot be loaded
|
|
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>
|
|
<p>If an insn has pseudos in it after register allocation, reload will go
|
|
through the alternatives and call repeatedly <code>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).

|
<dd><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>MQ</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>
|
|
<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>
|
|
<p>In some cases, both an intermediate and a scratch register are required.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<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>
|
|
<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>
|
|
<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>
|
|
<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
|
|
output constraint.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<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.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<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>
|
|
<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>TARGET_SECONDARY_MEMORY_NEEDED</code> for that purpose.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<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.

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>
|
|
<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>
|
|
<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>
|
|
<p>If a scratch register is required (either with or without an
|
|
intermediate register), you were supposed to define patterns for
|
|
‘<samp>reload_in<var>m</var></samp>’ or ‘<samp>reload_out<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>mov<var>m</var></samp>’ patterns, except that operand 2 is the scratch
|
|
register.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<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>
|
|
<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>
|
|
<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<var>m</var></code> pattern should use memory as an
|
|
intermediate storage. This case often occurs between floating-point and
|
|
general registers.

|
|
<dd><p>A target hook which returns the register priority number to which the register <var>hard_regno</var> belongs to. The bigger the number, the more preferable the hard register usage (when all other conditions are the same). This hook can be used to prefer some hard register over others in LRA. For example, some x86-64 register usage needs additional prefix which makes instructions longer. The hook can return lower priority number for such registers make them less favorable and as result making the generated code smaller. The default version of this target hook returns always zero.

|
|
<dd><p>A target hook which returns true if we need register usage leveling. That means if a few hard registers are equally good for the assignment, we choose the least used hard register. The register usage leveling may be profitable for some targets. Don’t use the usage leveling for targets with conditional execution or targets with big register files as it hurts if-conversion and cross-jumping optimizations. The default version of this target hook returns always false.

<dd><p>A target hook which returns true if an address with the same structure can have different maximal legitimate displacement. For example, the displacement can depend on memory mode or on operand combinations in the insn. The default version of this target hook returns always false.

the local anchor could be shared by other accesses to nearby locations.
