/* This file defines all the MACHINE MODES used by GCC.

   A machine mode specifies a size and format of data
   at the machine level.

   Each RTL expression has a machine mode.

   At the syntax tree level, each ..._TYPE and each ..._DECL node
   has a machine mode which describes data of that type or the
   data of the variable declared.  */

/* This file is included by the genmodes program.  Its text is the
   body of a function.  Do not rely on this, it will change in the
   future.

   The following statements can be used in this file -- all have
   the form of a C macro call.  In their arguments:

   A CLASS argument must be one of the constants defined in
   mode-classes.def, less the leading MODE_ prefix; some statements
   that take CLASS arguments have restrictions on which classes are
   acceptable.  For instance, INT.

   A MODE argument must be the printable name of a machine mode,
   without quotation marks or trailing "mode".  For instance, SI.

   A PRECISION, BYTESIZE, or COUNT argument must be a positive integer
   constant.

   A FORMAT argument must be one of the real_mode_format structures
   declared in real.h, or else a literal 0.  Do not put a leading &
   on the argument.

   An EXPR argument must be a syntactically valid C expression.
   If an EXPR contains commas, you may need to write an extra pair of
   parentheses around it, so it appears to be a single argument to the
   statement.

   This file defines only those modes which are of use on almost all
   machines.  Other modes can be defined in the target-specific
   mode definition file, config/ARCH/ARCH-modes.def.

   Order matters in this file in so far as statements which refer to
   other modes must appear after the modes they refer to.  However,
   statements which do not refer to other modes may appear in any
   order.

     RANDOM_MODE (MODE);
        declares MODE to be of class RANDOM.

     CC_MODE (MODE);
        declares MODE to be of class CC.

     INT_MODE (MODE, BYTESIZE);
        declares MODE to be of class INT and BYTESIZE bytes wide.
	All of the bits of its representation are significant.

     FRACTIONAL_INT_MODE (MODE, PRECISION, BYTESIZE);
        declares MODE to be of class INT, BYTESIZE bytes wide in
	storage, but with only PRECISION significant bits.

     FLOAT_MODE (MODE, BYTESIZE, FORMAT);
        declares MODE to be of class FLOAT and BYTESIZE bytes wide,
	using floating point format FORMAT.
	All of the bits of its representation are significant.

     FRACTIONAL_FLOAT_MODE (MODE, PRECISION, BYTESIZE, FORMAT);
        declares MODE to be of class FLOAT, BYTESIZE bytes wide in
	storage, but with only PRECISION significant bits, using
	floating point format FORMAT.

     RESET_FLOAT_FORMAT (MODE, FORMAT);
	changes the format of MODE, which must be class FLOAT,
	to FORMAT.  Use in an ARCH-modes.def to reset the format
	of one of the float modes defined in this file.

     PARTIAL_INT_MODE (MODE);
        declares a mode of class PARTIAL_INT with the same size as
	MODE (which must be an INT mode).  The name of the new mode
	is made by prefixing a P to the name MODE.  This statement
	may grow a PRECISION argument in the future.

     VECTOR_MODE (CLASS, MODE, COUNT);
        Declare a vector mode whose component mode is MODE (of class
	CLASS) with COUNT components.  CLASS must be INT or FLOAT.
	The name of the vector mode takes the form VnX where n is
	COUNT in decimal and X is MODE.

     VECTOR_MODES (CLASS, WIDTH);
        For all modes presently declared in class CLASS, construct
	corresponding vector modes having width WIDTH.  Modes whose
	byte sizes do not evenly divide WIDTH are ignored, as are
	modes that would produce vector modes with only one component,
	and modes smaller than one byte (if CLASS is INT) or smaller
	than two bytes (if CLASS is FLOAT).  CLASS must be INT or
	FLOAT.  The names follow the same rule as VECTOR_MODE uses.

     COMPLEX_MODES (CLASS);
        For all modes presently declared in class CLASS, construct
	corresponding complex modes.  Modes smaller than one byte
	are ignored.  For FLOAT modes, the names are derived by
	replacing the 'F' in the mode name with a 'C'.  (It is an
	error if there is no 'F'.  For INT modes, the names are
	derived by prefixing a C to the name.

     ADJUST_BYTESIZE (MODE, EXPR);
     ADJUST_ALIGNMENT (MODE, EXPR);
     ADJUST_FLOAT_FORMAT (MODE, EXPR);
        Arrange for the byte size, alignment, or floating point format
	of MODE to be adjustable at run time.  EXPR will be executed
	once after processing all command line options, and should
	evaluate to the desired byte size, alignment, or format.

	Unlike a FORMAT argument, if you are adjusting a float format
	you must put an & in front of the name of each format structure.

   Note: If a mode is ever made which is more than 255 bytes wide,
   machmode.h and genmodes.c will have to be changed to allocate
   more space for the mode_size and mode_alignment arrays.  */

   RESET_FLOAT_FORMAT or at runtime (in OVERRIDE_OPTIONS).  */
