<a name="index-Variable-Location-Debug-Information-in-RTL"></a>
<p>Variable tracking relies on <code>MEM_EXPR</code> and <code>REG_EXPR</code>
annotations to determine what user variables memory and register
references refer to.
</p>
<p>Variable tracking at assignments uses these notes only when they refer
to variables that live at fixed locations (e.g., addressable
variables, global non-automatic variables). For variables whose
location may vary, it relies on the following types of notes.
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dd><a name="index-var_005flocation"></a>
</dd>
<dt><code>(var_location:<var>mode</var> <var>var</var> <var>exp</var> <var>stat</var>)</code></dt>
<dd><p>Binds variable <code>var</code>, a tree, to value <var>exp</var>, an RTL
expression. It appears only in <code>NOTE_INSN_VAR_LOCATION</code> and
<code>DEBUG_INSN</code>s, with slightly different meanings. <var>mode</var>, if
present, represents the mode of <var>exp</var>, which is useful if it is a
modeless expression. <var>stat</var> is only meaningful in notes,
indicating whether the variable is known to be initialized or
uninitialized.
</p>
<a name="index-debug_005fexpr"></a>
</dd>
<dt><code>(debug_expr:<var>mode</var> <var>decl</var>)</code></dt>
<dd><p>Stands for the value bound to the <code>DEBUG_EXPR_DECL</code> <var>decl</var>,
that points back to it, within value expressions in
<code>VAR_LOCATION</code> nodes.
</p>
</dd>
