This describes commands for alignment.
The alignment (log base 2) to put in front of label, which is a common destination of jumps and has no fallthru incoming edge.
This macro need not be defined if you don't want any special alignment to be done at such a time. Most machine descriptions do not currently define the macro.
Unless it's necessary to inspect the label parameter, it is better to set the variable align_jumps in the target's
TARGET_OPTION_OVERRIDE
. Otherwise, you should try to honor the user's selection in align_jumps in aJUMP_ALIGN
implementation.
The maximum number of bytes to skip before label when applying
JUMP_ALIGN
. This works only ifASM_OUTPUT_MAX_SKIP_ALIGN
is defined.
The alignment (log base 2) to put in front of label, which follows a
BARRIER
.This macro need not be defined if you don't want any special alignment to be done at such a time. Most machine descriptions do not currently define the macro.
The maximum number of bytes to skip before label when applying
LABEL_ALIGN_AFTER_BARRIER
. This works only ifASM_OUTPUT_MAX_SKIP_ALIGN
is defined.
The alignment (log base 2) to put in front of label that heads a frequently executed basic block (usually the header of a loop).
This macro need not be defined if you don't want any special alignment to be done at such a time. Most machine descriptions do not currently define the macro.
Unless it's necessary to inspect the label parameter, it is better to set the variable
align_loops
in the target'sTARGET_OPTION_OVERRIDE
. Otherwise, you should try to honor the user's selection inalign_loops
in aLOOP_ALIGN
implementation.
The maximum number of bytes to skip when applying
LOOP_ALIGN
to label. This works only ifASM_OUTPUT_MAX_SKIP_ALIGN
is defined.
The alignment (log base 2) to put in front of label. If
LABEL_ALIGN_AFTER_BARRIER
/LOOP_ALIGN
specify a different alignment, the maximum of the specified values is used.Unless it's necessary to inspect the label parameter, it is better to set the variable
align_labels
in the target'sTARGET_OPTION_OVERRIDE
. Otherwise, you should try to honor the user's selection inalign_labels
in aLABEL_ALIGN
implementation.
The maximum number of bytes to skip when applying
LABEL_ALIGN
to label. This works only ifASM_OUTPUT_MAX_SKIP_ALIGN
is defined.
A C statement to output to the stdio stream stream an assembler instruction to advance the location counter by nbytes bytes. Those bytes should be zero when loaded. nbytes will be a C expression of type
unsigned HOST_WIDE_INT
.
Define this macro if
ASM_OUTPUT_SKIP
should not be used in the text section because it fails to put zeros in the bytes that are skipped. This is true on many Unix systems, where the pseudo–op to skip bytes produces no-op instructions rather than zeros when used in the text section.
A C statement to output to the stdio stream stream an assembler command to advance the location counter to a multiple of 2 to the power bytes. power will be a C expression of type
int
.
Like
ASM_OUTPUT_ALIGN
, except that the “nop” instruction is used for padding, if necessary.
A C statement to output to the stdio stream stream an assembler command to advance the location counter to a multiple of 2 to the power bytes, but only if max_skip or fewer bytes are needed to satisfy the alignment request. power and max_skip will be a C expression of type
int
.
