24/* This file defines all the MACHINE MODES used by GCC.
25
26   A machine mode specifies a size and format of data
27   at the machine level.
28
29   Each RTL expression has a machine mode.
30
31   At the syntax tree level, each ..._TYPE and each ..._DECL node
32   has a machine mode which describes data of that type or the
33   data of the variable declared.  */
34
35/* This file is included by the genmodes program.  Its text is the
36   body of a function.  Do not rely on this, it will change in the
37   future.
38
39   The following statements can be used in this file -- all have
40   the form of a C macro call.  In their arguments:
41
42   A CLASS argument must be one of the constants defined in
43   mode-classes.def, less the leading MODE_ prefix; some statements
44   that take CLASS arguments have restrictions on which classes are
45   acceptable.  For instance, INT.
46
47   A MODE argument must be the printable name of a machine mode,
48   without quotation marks or trailing "mode".  For instance, SI.
49
50   A PRECISION, BYTESIZE, or COUNT argument must be a positive integer
51   constant.
52
53   A FORMAT argument must be one of the real_mode_format structures
54   declared in real.h, or else a literal 0.  Do not put a leading &
55   on the argument.
56
57   An EXPR argument must be a syntactically valid C expression.
58   If an EXPR contains commas, you may need to write an extra pair of
59   parentheses around it, so it appears to be a single argument to the
60   statement.
61
62   This file defines only those modes which are of use on almost all
63   machines.  Other modes can be defined in the target-specific
64   mode definition file, config/ARCH/ARCH-modes.def.
65
66   Order matters in this file in so far as statements which refer to
67   other modes must appear after the modes they refer to.  However,
68   statements which do not refer to other modes may appear in any
69   order.
70
71     RANDOM_MODE (MODE);
72        declares MODE to be of class RANDOM.
73
74     CC_MODE (MODE);
75        declares MODE to be of class CC.
76
77     INT_MODE (MODE, BYTESIZE);
78        declares MODE to be of class INT and BYTESIZE bytes wide.
79	All of the bits of its representation are significant.
80
81     FRACTIONAL_INT_MODE (MODE, PRECISION, BYTESIZE);
82        declares MODE to be of class INT, BYTESIZE bytes wide in
83	storage, but with only PRECISION significant bits.
84
85     FLOAT_MODE (MODE, BYTESIZE, FORMAT);
86        declares MODE to be of class FLOAT and BYTESIZE bytes wide,
87	using floating point format FORMAT.
88	All of the bits of its representation are significant.
89
90     FRACTIONAL_FLOAT_MODE (MODE, PRECISION, BYTESIZE, FORMAT);
91        declares MODE to be of class FLOAT, BYTESIZE bytes wide in
92	storage, but with only PRECISION significant bits, using
93	floating point format FORMAT.
94
95     RESET_FLOAT_FORMAT (MODE, FORMAT);
96	changes the format of MODE, which must be class FLOAT,
97	to FORMAT.  Use in an ARCH-modes.def to reset the format
98	of one of the float modes defined in this file.
99
100     PARTIAL_INT_MODE (MODE);
101        declares a mode of class PARTIAL_INT with the same size as
102	MODE (which must be an INT mode).  The name of the new mode
103	is made by prefixing a P to the name MODE.  This statement
104	may grow a PRECISION argument in the future.
105
106     VECTOR_MODE (CLASS, MODE, COUNT);
107        Declare a vector mode whose component mode is MODE (of class
108	CLASS) with COUNT components.  CLASS must be INT or FLOAT.
109	The name of the vector mode takes the form VnX where n is
110	COUNT in decimal and X is MODE.
111
112     VECTOR_MODES (CLASS, WIDTH);
113        For all modes presently declared in class CLASS, construct
114	corresponding vector modes having width WIDTH.  Modes whose
115	byte sizes do not evenly divide WIDTH are ignored, as are
116	modes that would produce vector modes with only one component,
117	and modes smaller than one byte (if CLASS is INT) or smaller
118	than two bytes (if CLASS is FLOAT).  CLASS must be INT or
119	FLOAT.  The names follow the same rule as VECTOR_MODE uses.
120
121     COMPLEX_MODES (CLASS);
122        For all modes presently declared in class CLASS, construct
123	corresponding complex modes.  Modes smaller than one byte
124	are ignored.  For FLOAT modes, the names are derived by
125	replacing the 'F' in the mode name with a 'C'.  (It is an
126	error if there is no 'F'.  For INT modes, the names are
127	derived by prefixing a C to the name.
128
129     ADJUST_BYTESIZE (MODE, EXPR);
130     ADJUST_ALIGNMENT (MODE, EXPR);
131     ADJUST_FLOAT_FORMAT (MODE, EXPR);
132        Arrange for the byte size, alignment, or floating point format
133	of MODE to be adjustable at run time.  EXPR will be executed
134	once after processing all command line options, and should
135	evaluate to the desired byte size, alignment, or format.
136
137	Unlike a FORMAT argument, if you are adjusting a float format
138	you must put an & in front of the name of each format structure.
139
140   Note: If a mode is ever made which is more than 255 bytes wide,
141   machmode.h and genmodes.c will have to be changed to allocate
142   more space for the mode_size and mode_alignment arrays.  */
