|
|
|
|
<p>In addition to instruction patterns the <samp>md</samp> file may contain
|
|
definitions of machine-specific peephole optimizations.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The combiner does not notice certain peephole optimizations when the data
|
|
flow in the program does not suggest that it should try them. For example,
|
|
sometimes two consecutive insns related in purpose can be combined even
|
|
though the second one does not appear to use a register computed in the
|
|
first one. A machine-specific peephole optimizer can detect such
|
|
opportunities.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>There are two forms of peephole definitions that may be used. The
|
|
original <code>define_peephole</code> is run at assembly output time to
|
|
match insns and substitute assembly text. Use of <code>define_peephole</code>
|
|
is deprecated.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>A newer <code>define_peephole2</code> matches insns and substitutes new
|
|
insns. The <code>peephole2</code> pass is run after register allocation
|
|
but before scheduling, which may result in much better code for
|
|
targets that do scheduling.
