<h3 class="section">16.6 C Statements for Assembler Output</h3>
<a name="index-output-statements"></a>
<a name="index-C-statements-for-assembler-output"></a>
<a name="index-generating-assembler-output"></a>
<p>Often a single fixed template string cannot produce correct and efficient
assembler code for all the cases that are recognized by a single
instruction pattern. For example, the opcodes may depend on the kinds of
operands; or some unfortunate combinations of operands may require extra
machine instructions.
</p>
<p>If the output control string starts with a &lsquo;<samp>@</samp>&rsquo;, then it is actually
a series of templates, each on a separate line. (Blank lines and
leading spaces and tabs are ignored.) The templates correspond to the
pattern&rsquo;s constraint alternatives (see <a href="Multi_002dAlternative.html#Multi_002dAlternative">Multi-Alternative</a>). For example,
if a target machine has a two-address add instruction &lsquo;<samp>addr</samp>&rsquo; to add
into a register and another &lsquo;<samp>addm</samp>&rsquo; to add a register to memory, you
might write this pattern:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">(define_insn &quot;addsi3&quot;
[(set (match_operand:SI 0 &quot;general_operand&quot; &quot;=r,m&quot;)
(plus:SI (match_operand:SI 1 &quot;general_operand&quot; &quot;0,0&quot;)
(match_operand:SI 2 &quot;general_operand&quot; &quot;g,r&quot;)))]
&quot;&quot;
&quot;@
addr %2,%0
addm %2,%0&quot;)
</pre></div>
<a name="index-_002a-in-template"></a>
<a name="index-asterisk-in-template"></a>
<p>If the output control string starts with a &lsquo;<samp>*</samp>&rsquo;, then it is not an
output template but rather a piece of C program that should compute a
template. It should execute a <code>return</code> statement to return the
template-string you want. Most such templates use C string literals, which
require doublequote characters to delimit them. To include these
doublequote characters in the string, prefix each one with &lsquo;<samp>\</samp>&rsquo;.
</p>
<p>If the output control string is written as a brace block instead of a
double-quoted string, it is automatically assumed to be C code. In that
case, it is not necessary to put in a leading asterisk, or to escape the
doublequotes surrounding C string literals.
</p>
<p>The operands may be found in the array <code>operands</code>, whose C data type
is <code>rtx []</code>.
</p>
<p>It is very common to select different ways of generating assembler code
based on whether an immediate operand is within a certain range. Be
careful when doing this, because the result of <code>INTVAL</code> is an
integer on the host machine. If the host machine has more bits in an
<code>int</code> than the target machine has in the mode in which the constant
will be used, then some of the bits you get from <code>INTVAL</code> will be
superfluous. For proper results, you must carefully disregard the
values of those bits.
</p>
<a name="index-output_005fasm_005finsn"></a>
<p>It is possible to output an assembler instruction and then go on to output
or compute more of them, using the subroutine <code>output_asm_insn</code>. This
receives two arguments: a template-string and a vector of operands. The
vector may be <code>operands</code>, or it may be another array of <code>rtx</code>
that you declare locally and initialize yourself.
</p>
<a name="index-which_005falternative"></a>
<p>When an insn pattern has multiple alternatives in its constraints, often
the appearance of the assembler code is determined mostly by which alternative
was matched. When this is so, the C code can test the variable
<code>which_alternative</code>, which is the ordinal number of the alternative
that was actually satisfied (0 for the first, 1 for the second alternative,
etc.).
</p>
<p>For example, suppose there are two opcodes for storing zero, &lsquo;<samp>clrreg</samp>&rsquo;
for registers and &lsquo;<samp>clrmem</samp>&rsquo; for memory locations. Here is how
a pattern could use <code>which_alternative</code> to choose between them:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">(define_insn &quot;&quot;
[(set (match_operand:SI 0 &quot;general_operand&quot; &quot;=r,m&quot;)
(const_int 0))]
&quot;&quot;
{
return (which_alternative == 0
? &quot;clrreg %0&quot; : &quot;clrmem %0&quot;);
})
</pre></div>
<p>The example above, where the assembler code to generate was
<em>solely</em> determined by the alternative, could also have been specified
as follows, having the output control string start with a &lsquo;<samp>@</samp>&rsquo;:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">(define_insn &quot;&quot;
[(set (match_operand:SI 0 &quot;general_operand&quot; &quot;=r,m&quot;)
(const_int 0))]
&quot;&quot;
&quot;@
clrreg %0
clrmem %0&quot;)
</pre></div>
<p>If you just need a little bit of C code in one (or a few) alternatives,
you can use &lsquo;<samp>*</samp>&rsquo; inside of a &lsquo;<samp>@</samp>&rsquo; multi-alternative template:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">(define_insn &quot;&quot;
[(set (match_operand:SI 0 &quot;general_operand&quot; &quot;=r,&lt;,m&quot;)
(const_int 0))]
&quot;&quot;
&quot;@
clrreg %0
* return stack_mem_p (operands[0]) ? \&quot;push 0\&quot; : \&quot;clrmem %0\&quot;;
clrmem %0&quot;)
</pre></div>
