|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>To read an RTL object from a file, call <code>read_rtx</code>. It takes one
|
||
|
argument, a stdio stream, and returns a single RTL object. This routine
|
||
|
is defined in <samp>read-rtl.c</samp>. It is not available in the compiler
|
||
|
itself, only the various programs that generate the compiler back end
|
||
|
from the machine description.
|
||
|
</p>
|
||
|
<p>People frequently have the idea of using RTL stored as text in a file as
|
||
|
an interface between a language front end and the bulk of GCC. This
|
||
|
idea is not feasible.
|
||
|
</p>
|
||
|
<p>GCC was designed to use RTL internally only. Correct RTL for a given
|
||
|
program is very dependent on the particular target machine. And the RTL
|
||
|
does not contain all the information about the program.
|
||
|
</p>
|
||
|
<p>The proper way to interface GCC to a new language front end is with
|
||
|
the “tree” data structure, described in the files <samp>tree.h</samp> and
|
||
|
<samp>tree.def</samp>. The documentation for this structure (see <a href="GENERIC.html#GENERIC">GENERIC</a>)
|
||
|
is incomplete.
