@subsection Disable insn alternatives using the @code{enabled} attribute
@cindex enabled
The @code{enabled} insn attribute may be used to disable certain insn
alternatives for machine-specific reasons. This is useful when adding
new instructions to an existing pattern which are only available for
certain cpu architecture levels as specified with the @code{-march=}
option.
The @code{enabled} insn attribute may be used to disable insn
alternatives that are not available for the current subtarget.
This is useful when adding new instructions to an existing pattern

If an insn alternative is disabled, then it will never be used. The

A definition of the @code{enabled} insn attribute. The attribute is
defined as usual using the @code{define_attr} command. This
definition should be based on other insn attributes and/or target flags.
The attribute must be a static property of the subtarget; that is, it
must not depend on the current operands or any other dynamic context
(for example, the location of the insn within the body of a loop).
The @code{enabled} attribute is a numeric attribute and should evaluate to
@code{(const_int 1)} for an enabled alternative and to
@code{(const_int 0)} otherwise.
