On entry to the hook, @code{*@var{total}} contains a default estimate
for the cost of the expression. The hook should modify this value as
necessary.
necessary. Traditionally, the default costs are @code{COSTS_N_INSNS (5)}
for multiplications, @code{COSTS_N_INSNS (7)} for division and modulus
operations, and @code{COSTS_N_INSNS (1)} for all other operations.
When optimizing for code size, i.e@. when @code{optimize_size} is
non-zero, this target hook should be used to estimate the relative
size cost of an expression, again relative to @code{COSTS_N_INSNS}.
The hook returns true when all subexpressions of @var{x} have been
processed, and false when @code{rtx_cost} should recurse.
