<dl>
<dt><a name="index-SELECT_005fCC_005fMODE"></a>Macro: <strong>SELECT_CC_MODE</strong> <em>(<var>op</var>, <var>x</var>, <var>y</var>)</em></dt>
<dd><p>On many machines, the condition code may be produced by other instructions
than compares, for example the branch can use directly the condition
code set by a subtract instruction.  However, on some machines
when the condition code is set this way some bits (such as the overflow
bit) are not set in the same way as a test instruction, so that a different
branch instruction must be used for some conditional branches.  When
this happens, use the machine mode of the condition code register to
record different formats of the condition code register.  Modes can
also be used to record which compare instruction (e.g. a signed or an
unsigned comparison) produced the condition codes.
</p>
<p>If other modes than <code>CCmode</code> are required, add them to
<samp><var>machine</var>-modes.def</samp> and define <code>SELECT_CC_MODE</code> to choose
a mode given an operand of a compare.  This is needed because the modes
have to be chosen not only during RTL generation but also, for example,
by instruction combination.  The result of <code>SELECT_CC_MODE</code> should
be consistent with the mode used in the patterns; for example to support
the case of the add on the SPARC discussed above, we have the pattern
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">(define_insn &quot;&quot;
  [(set (reg:CC_NOOV 0)
        (compare:CC_NOOV
          (plus:SI (match_operand:SI 0 &quot;register_operand&quot; &quot;%r&quot;)
                   (match_operand:SI 1 &quot;arith_operand&quot; &quot;rI&quot;))
          (const_int 0)))]
  &quot;&quot;
  &quot;&hellip;&quot;)
</pre></div>

<p>together with a <code>SELECT_CC_MODE</code> that returns <code>CC_NOOVmode</code>
for comparisons whose argument is a <code>plus</code>:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">#define SELECT_CC_MODE(OP,X,Y) \
  (GET_MODE_CLASS (GET_MODE (X)) == MODE_FLOAT           \
   ? ((OP == LT || OP == LE || OP == GT || OP == GE)     \
      ? CCFPEmode : CCFPmode)                            \
   : ((GET_CODE (X) == PLUS || GET_CODE (X) == MINUS     \
       || GET_CODE (X) == NEG || GET_CODE (x) == ASHIFT) \
      ? CC_NOOVmode : CCmode))
</pre></div>

<p>Another reason to use modes is to retain information on which operands
were used by the comparison; see <code>REVERSIBLE_CC_MODE</code> later in
this section.
</p>
<p>You should define this macro if and only if you define extra CC modes
in <samp><var>machine</var>-modes.def</samp>.
</p></dd></dl>

<dl>
<dt><a name="index-TARGET_005fCANONICALIZE_005fCOMPARISON"></a>Target Hook: <em>void</em> <strong>TARGET_CANONICALIZE_COMPARISON</strong> <em>(int *<var>code</var>, rtx *<var>op0</var>, rtx *<var>op1</var>, bool <var>op0_preserve_value</var>)</em></dt>
<dd><p>On some machines not all possible comparisons are defined, but you can
convert an invalid comparison into a valid one.  For example, the Alpha
does not have a <code>GT</code> comparison, but you can use an <code>LT</code>
comparison instead and swap the order of the operands.
</p>
<p>On such machines, implement this hook to do any required conversions.
<var>code</var> is the initial comparison code and <var>op0</var> and <var>op1</var>
are the left and right operands of the comparison, respectively.  If
<var>op0_preserve_value</var> is <code>true</code> the implementation is not
allowed to change the value of <var>op0</var> since the value might be used
in RTXs which aren&rsquo;t comparisons.  E.g. the implementation is not
allowed to swap operands in that case.
</p>
<p>GCC will not assume that the comparison resulting from this macro is
valid but will see if the resulting insn matches a pattern in the
<samp>md</samp> file.
</p>
<p>You need not to implement this hook if it would never change the
comparison code or operands.
</p></dd></dl>

<dl>
<dt><a name="index-REVERSIBLE_005fCC_005fMODE"></a>Macro: <strong>REVERSIBLE_CC_MODE</strong> <em>(<var>mode</var>)</em></dt>
<dd><p>A C expression whose value is one if it is always safe to reverse a
comparison whose mode is <var>mode</var>.  If <code>SELECT_CC_MODE</code>
can ever return <var>mode</var> for a floating-point inequality comparison,
then <code>REVERSIBLE_CC_MODE (<var>mode</var>)</code> must be zero.
</p>
<p>You need not define this macro if it would always returns zero or if the
floating-point format is anything other than <code>IEEE_FLOAT_FORMAT</code>.
For example, here is the definition used on the SPARC, where floating-point
inequality comparisons are given either <code>CCFPEmode</code> or <code>CCFPmode</code>:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">#define REVERSIBLE_CC_MODE(MODE) \
   ((MODE) != CCFPEmode &amp;&amp; (MODE) != CCFPmode)
</pre></div>
</dd></dl>

<dl>
<dt><a name="index-REVERSE_005fCONDITION"></a>Macro: <strong>REVERSE_CONDITION</strong> <em>(<var>code</var>, <var>mode</var>)</em></dt>
<dd><p>A C expression whose value is reversed condition code of the <var>code</var> for
comparison done in CC_MODE <var>mode</var>.  The macro is used only in case
<code>REVERSIBLE_CC_MODE (<var>mode</var>)</code> is nonzero.  Define this macro in case
machine has some non-standard way how to reverse certain conditionals.  For
instance in case all floating point conditions are non-trapping, compiler may
freely convert unordered compares to ordered ones.  Then definition may look
like:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">#define REVERSE_CONDITION(CODE, MODE) \
   ((MODE) != CCFPmode ? reverse_condition (CODE) \
    : reverse_condition_maybe_unordered (CODE))
</pre></div>
</dd></dl>

<dl>
<dt><a name="index-TARGET_005fFIXED_005fCONDITION_005fCODE_005fREGS"></a>Target Hook: <em>bool</em> <strong>TARGET_FIXED_CONDITION_CODE_REGS</strong> <em>(unsigned int *<var>p1</var>, unsigned int *<var>p2</var>)</em></dt>
<dd><p>On targets which do not use <code>(cc0)</code>, and which use a hard
register rather than a pseudo-register to hold condition codes, the
regular CSE passes are often not able to identify cases in which the
hard register is set to a common value.  Use this hook to enable a
small pass which optimizes such cases.  This hook should return true
to enable this pass, and it should set the integers to which its
arguments point to the hard register numbers used for condition codes.
When there is only one such register, as is true on most systems, the
integer pointed to by <var>p2</var> should be set to
<code>INVALID_REGNUM</code>.
</p>
<p>The default version of this hook returns false.
</p></dd></dl>

<dt><a name="index-TARGET_005fCC_005fMODES_005fCOMPATIBLE"></a>Target Hook: <em>enum machine_mode</em> <strong>TARGET_CC_MODES_COMPATIBLE</strong> <em>(enum machine_mode <var>m1</var>, enum machine_mode <var>m2</var>)</em></dt>
<dd><p>On targets which use multiple condition code modes in class
<code>MODE_CC</code>, it is sometimes the case that a comparison can be
validly done in more than one mode.  On such a system, define this
target hook to take two mode arguments and to return a mode in which
both comparisons may be validly done.  If there is no such mode,
return <code>VOIDmode</code>.
</p>
<p>The default version of this hook checks whether the modes are the
same.  If they are, it returns that mode.  If they are different, it
returns <code>VOIDmode</code>.
</p></dd></dl>

<dl>
<dt><a name="index-TARGET_005fFLAGS_005fREGNUM"></a>Target Hook: <em>unsigned int</em> <strong>TARGET_FLAGS_REGNUM</strong></dt>
<dd><p>If the target has a dedicated flags register, and it needs to use the post-reload comparison elimination pass, then this value should be set appropriately.
</p></dd></dl>
