-
- Specific Options for DBX Output
- -------------------------------
-
- `DBX_DEBUGGING_INFO'
- Define this macro if GNU CC should produce debugging output for DBX
- in response to the `-g' option.
-
- `XCOFF_DEBUGGING_INFO'
- Define this macro if GNU CC should produce XCOFF format debugging
- output in response to the `-g' option. This is a variant of DBX
- format.
-
- `DEFAULT_GDB_EXTENSIONS'
- Define this macro to control whether GNU CC should by default
- generate GDB's extended version of DBX debugging information
- (assuming DBX-format debugging information is enabled at all). If
- you don't define the macro, the default is 1: always generate the
- extended information if there is any occasion to.
-
- `DEBUG_SYMS_TEXT'
- Define this macro if all `.stabs' commands should be output while
- in the text section.
-
- `ASM_STABS_OP'
- A C string constant naming the assembler pseudo op to use instead
- of `.stabs' to define an ordinary debugging symbol. If you don't
- define this macro, `.stabs' is used. This macro applies only to
- DBX debugging information format.
-
- `ASM_STABD_OP'
- A C string constant naming the assembler pseudo op to use instead
- of `.stabd' to define a debugging symbol whose value is the current
- location. If you don't define this macro, `.stabd' is used. This
- macro applies only to DBX debugging information format.
-
- `ASM_STABN_OP'
- A C string constant naming the assembler pseudo op to use instead
- of `.stabn' to define a debugging symbol with no name. If you
- don't define this macro, `.stabn' is used. This macro applies
- only to DBX debugging information format.
-
- `DBX_NO_XREFS'
- Define this macro if DBX on your system does not support the
- construct `xsTAGNAME'. On some systems, this construct is used to
- describe a forward reference to a structure named TAGNAME. On
- other systems, this construct is not supported at all.
-
- `DBX_CONTIN_LENGTH'
- A symbol name in DBX-format debugging information is normally
- continued (split into two separate `.stabs' directives) when it
- exceeds a certain length (by default, 80 characters). On some
- operating systems, DBX requires this splitting; on others,
- splitting must not be done. You can inhibit splitting by defining
- this macro with the value zero. You can override the default
- splitting-length by defining this macro as an expression for the
- length you desire.
-
- `DBX_CONTIN_CHAR'
- Normally continuation is indicated by adding a `\' character to
- the end of a `.stabs' string when a continuation follows. To use
- a different character instead, define this macro as a character
- constant for the character you want to use. Do not define this
- macro if backslash is correct for your system.
-
- `DBX_STATIC_STAB_DATA_SECTION'
- Define this macro if it is necessary to go to the data section
- before outputting the `.stabs' pseudo-op for a non-global static
- variable.
-
- `DBX_TYPE_DECL_STABS_CODE'
- The value to use in the "code" field of the `.stabs' directive for
- a typedef. The default is `N_LSYM'.
-
- `DBX_STATIC_CONST_VAR_CODE'
- The value to use in the "code" field of the `.stabs' directive for
- a static variable located in the text section. DBX format does not
- provide any "right" way to do this. The default is `N_FUN'.
-
- `DBX_REGPARM_STABS_CODE'
- The value to use in the "code" field of the `.stabs' directive for
- a parameter passed in registers. DBX format does not provide any
- "right" way to do this. The default is `N_RSYM'.
-
- `DBX_REGPARM_STABS_LETTER'
- The letter to use in DBX symbol data to identify a symbol as a
- parameter passed in registers. DBX format does not customarily
- provide any way to do this. The default is `'P''.
-
- `DBX_MEMPARM_STABS_LETTER'
- The letter to use in DBX symbol data to identify a symbol as a
- stack parameter. The default is `'p''.
-
- `DBX_FUNCTION_FIRST'
- Define this macro if the DBX information for a function and its
- arguments should precede the assembler code for the function.
- Normally, in DBX format, the debugging information entirely
- follows the assembler code.
-
- `DBX_LBRAC_FIRST'
- Define this macro if the `N_LBRAC' symbol for a block should
- precede the debugging information for variables and functions
- defined in that block. Normally, in DBX format, the `N_LBRAC'
- symbol comes first.
-
- File: gcc.info, Node: DBX Hooks, Next: File Names and DBX, Prev: DBX Options, Up: Debugging Info
-
- Open-Ended Hooks for DBX Format
- -------------------------------
-
- `DBX_OUTPUT_LBRAC (STREAM, NAME)'
- Define this macro to say how to output to STREAM the debugging
- information for the start of a scope level for variable names. The
- argument NAME is the name of an assembler symbol (for use with
- `assemble_name') whose value is the address where the scope begins.
-
- `DBX_OUTPUT_RBRAC (STREAM, NAME)'
- Like `DBX_OUTPUT_LBRAC', but for the end of a scope level.
-
- `DBX_OUTPUT_ENUM (STREAM, TYPE)'
- Define this macro if the target machine requires special handling
- to output an enumeration type. The definition should be a C
- statement (sans semicolon) to output the appropriate information
- to STREAM for the type TYPE.
-
- `DBX_OUTPUT_FUNCTION_END (STREAM, FUNCTION)'
- Define this macro if the target machine requires special output at
- the end of the debugging information for a function. The
- definition should be a C statement (sans semicolon) to output the
- appropriate information to STREAM. FUNCTION is the
- `FUNCTION_DECL' node for the function.
-
- `DBX_OUTPUT_STANDARD_TYPES (SYMS)'
- Define this macro if you need to control the order of output of the
- standard data types at the beginning of compilation. The argument
- SYMS is a `tree' which is a chain of all the predefined global
- symbols, including names of data types.
-
- Normally, DBX output starts with definitions of the types for
- integers and characters, followed by all the other predefined
- types of the particular language in no particular order.
-
- On some machines, it is necessary to output different particular
- types first. To do this, define `DBX_OUTPUT_STANDARD_TYPES' to
- output those symbols in the necessary order. Any predefined types
- that you don't explicitly output will be output afterward in no
- particular order.
-
- Be careful not to define this macro so that it works only for C.
- There are no global variables to access most of the built-in
- types, because another language may have another set of types.
- The way to output a particular type is to look through SYMS to see
- if you can find it. Here is an example:
-
- {
- tree decl;
- for (decl = syms; decl; decl = TREE_CHAIN (decl))
- if (!strcmp (IDENTIFIER_POINTER (DECL_NAME (decl)), "long int"))
- dbxout_symbol (decl);
- ...
- }
-
- This does nothing if the expected type does not exist.
-
- See the function `init_decl_processing' in source file `c-decl.c'
- to find the names to use for all the built-in C types.
-
- Here is another way of finding a particular type:
-
- {
- tree decl;
- for (decl = syms; decl; decl = TREE_CHAIN (decl))
- if (TREE_CODE (decl) == TYPE_DECL
- && TREE_CODE (TREE_TYPE (decl)) == INTEGER_CST
- && TYPE_PRECISION (TREE_TYPE (decl)) == 16
- && TYPE_UNSIGNED (TREE_TYPE (decl)))
- /* This must be `unsigned short'. */
- dbxout_symbol (decl);
- ...
- }

-
- File Names in DBX Format
- ------------------------
-
- `DBX_WORKING_DIRECTORY'
- Define this if DBX wants to have the current directory recorded in
- each object file.
-
- Note that the working directory is always recorded if GDB
- extensions are enabled.
-
- `DBX_OUTPUT_MAIN_SOURCE_FILENAME (STREAM, NAME)'
- A C statement to output DBX debugging information to the stdio
- stream STREAM which indicates that file NAME is the main source
- file--the file specified as the input file for compilation. This
- macro is called only once, at the beginning of compilation.
-
- This macro need not be defined if the standard form of output for
- DBX debugging information is appropriate.
-
- `DBX_OUTPUT_MAIN_SOURCE_DIRECTORY (STREAM, NAME)'
- A C statement to output DBX debugging information to the stdio
- stream STREAM which indicates that the current directory during
- compilation is named NAME.
-
- This macro need not be defined if the standard form of output for
- DBX debugging information is appropriate.
-
- `DBX_OUTPUT_MAIN_SOURCE_FILE_END (STREAM, NAME)'
- A C statement to output DBX debugging information at the end of
- compilation of the main source file NAME.
-
- If you don't define this macro, nothing special is output at the
- end of compilation, which is correct for most machines.
-
- `DBX_OUTPUT_SOURCE_FILENAME (STREAM, NAME)'
- A C statement to output DBX debugging information to the stdio
- stream STREAM which indicates that file NAME is the current source
- file. This output is generated each time input shifts to a
- different source file as a result of `#include', the end of an
- included file, or a `#line' command.
-
- This macro need not be defined if the standard form of output for
- DBX debugging information is appropriate.
-
- File: gcc.info, Node: SDB and DWARF, Prev: File Names and DBX, Up: Debugging Info
-
- Macros for SDB and DWARF Output
- -------------------------------
-
- `SDB_DEBUGGING_INFO'
- Define this macro if GNU CC should produce COFF-style debugging
- output for SDB in response to the `-g' option.
-
- `DWARF_DEBUGGING_INFO'
- Define this macro if GNU CC should produce dwarf format debugging
- output in response to the `-g' option.
-
- `PUT_SDB_...'
- Define these macros to override the assembler syntax for the
- special SDB assembler directives. See `sdbout.c' for a list of
- these macros and their arguments. If the standard syntax is used,
- you need not define them yourself.
-
- `SDB_DELIM'
- Some assemblers do not support a semicolon as a delimiter, even
- between SDB assembler directives. In that case, define this macro
- to be the delimiter to use (usually `\n'). It is not necessary to
- define a new set of `PUT_SDB_OP' macros if this is the only change
- required.
-
- `SDB_GENERATE_FAKE'
- Define this macro to override the usual method of constructing a
- dummy name for anonymous structure and union types. See
- `sdbout.c' for more information.
-
- `SDB_ALLOW_UNKNOWN_REFERENCES'
- Define this macro to allow references to unknown structure, union,
- or enumeration tags to be emitted. Standard COFF does not allow
- handling of unknown references, MIPS ECOFF has support for it.
-
- `SDB_ALLOW_FORWARD_REFERENCES'
- Define this macro to allow references to structure, union, or
- enumeration tags that have not yet been seen to be handled. Some
- assemblers choke if forward tags are used, while some require it.

-
- Cross Compilation and Floating Point Format
- ===========================================
-
- While all modern machines use 2's complement representation for
- integers, there are a variety of representations for floating point
- numbers. This means that in a cross-compiler the representation of
- floating point numbers in the compiled program may be different from
- that used in the machine doing the compilation.
-
- Because different representation systems may offer different amounts
- of range and precision, the cross compiler cannot safely use the host
- machine's floating point arithmetic. Therefore, floating point
- constants must be represented in the target machine's format. This
- means that the cross compiler cannot use `atof' to parse a floating
- point constant; it must have its own special routine to use instead.
- Also, constant folding must emulate the target machine's arithmetic (or
- must not be done at all).
-
- The macros in the following table should be defined only if you are
- cross compiling between different floating point formats.
-
- Otherwise, don't define them. Then default definitions will be set
- up which use `double' as the data type, `==' to test for equality, etc.
-
- You don't need to worry about how many times you use an operand of
- any of these macros. The compiler never uses operands which have side
- effects.
-
- `REAL_VALUE_TYPE'
- A macro for the C data type to be used to hold a floating point
- value in the target machine's format. Typically this would be a
- `struct' containing an array of `int'.
-
- `REAL_VALUES_EQUAL (X, Y)'
- A macro for a C expression which compares for equality the two
- values, X and Y, both of type `REAL_VALUE_TYPE'.
-
- `REAL_VALUES_LESS (X, Y)'
- A macro for a C expression which tests whether X is less than Y,
- both values being of type `REAL_VALUE_TYPE' and interpreted as
- floating point numbers in the target machine's representation.
-
- `REAL_VALUE_LDEXP (X, SCALE)'
- A macro for a C expression which performs the standard library
- function `ldexp', but using the target machine's floating point
- representation. Both X and the value of the expression have type
- `REAL_VALUE_TYPE'. The second argument, SCALE, is an integer.
-
- `REAL_VALUE_FIX (X)'
- A macro whose definition is a C expression to convert the
- target-machine floating point value X to a signed integer. X has
- type `REAL_VALUE_TYPE'.
-
- `REAL_VALUE_UNSIGNED_FIX (X)'
- A macro whose definition is a C expression to convert the
- target-machine floating point value X to an unsigned integer. X
- has type `REAL_VALUE_TYPE'.
-
- `REAL_VALUE_FIX_TRUNCATE (X)'
- A macro whose definition is a C expression to convert the
- target-machine floating point value X to a signed integer,
- rounding toward 0. X has type `REAL_VALUE_TYPE'.
-
- `REAL_VALUE_UNSIGNED_FIX_TRUNCATE (X)'
- A macro whose definition is a C expression to convert the
- target-machine floating point value X to an unsigned integer,
- rounding toward 0. X has type `REAL_VALUE_TYPE'.
-
- `REAL_VALUE_ATOF (STRING)'
- A macro for a C expression which converts STRING, an expression of
- type `char *', into a floating point number in the target
- machine's representation. The value has type `REAL_VALUE_TYPE'.
-
- `REAL_INFINITY'
- Define this macro if infinity is a possible floating point value,
- and therefore division by 0 is legitimate.
-
- `REAL_VALUE_ISINF (X)'
- A macro for a C expression which determines whether X, a floating
- point value, is infinity. The value has type `int'. By default,
- this is defined to call `isinf'.
-
- `REAL_VALUE_ISNAN (X)'
- A macro for a C expression which determines whether X, a floating
- point value, is a "nan" (not-a-number). The value has type `int'.
- By default, this is defined to call `isnan'.
-
- Define the following additional macros if you want to make floating
- point constant folding work while cross compiling. If you don't define
- them, cross compilation is still possible, but constant folding will
- not happen for floating point values.
-
- `REAL_ARITHMETIC (OUTPUT, CODE, X, Y)'
- A macro for a C statement which calculates an arithmetic operation
- of the two floating point values X and Y, both of type
- `REAL_VALUE_TYPE' in the target machine's representation, to
- produce a result of the same type and representation which is
- stored in OUTPUT (which will be a variable).
-
- The operation to be performed is specified by CODE, a tree code
- which will always be one of the following: `PLUS_EXPR',
- `MINUS_EXPR', `MULT_EXPR', `RDIV_EXPR', `MAX_EXPR', `MIN_EXPR'.
-
- The expansion of this macro is responsible for checking for
- overflow. If overflow happens, the macro expansion should execute
- the statement `return 0;', which indicates the inability to
- perform the arithmetic operation requested.
-
- `REAL_VALUE_NEGATE (X)'
- A macro for a C expression which returns the negative of the
- floating point value X. Both X and the value of the expression
- have type `REAL_VALUE_TYPE' and are in the target machine's
- floating point representation.
-
- There is no way for this macro to report overflow, since overflow
- can't happen in the negation operation.
-
- `REAL_VALUE_TRUNCATE (X)'
- A macro for a C expression which converts the double-precision
- floating point value X to single-precision.
-
- Both X and the value of the expression have type `REAL_VALUE_TYPE'
- and are in the target machine's floating point representation.
- However, the value should have an appropriate bit pattern to be
- output properly as a single-precision floating constant.
-
- There is no way for this macro to report overflow.
-
- `REAL_VALUE_TO_INT (LOW, HIGH, X)'
- A macro for a C expression which converts a floating point value X
- into a double-precision integer which is then stored into LOW and
- HIGH, two variables of type INT.
-
- `REAL_VALUE_FROM_INT (X, LOW, HIGH)'
- A macro for a C expression which converts a double-precision
- integer found in LOW and HIGH, two variables of type INT, into a
- floating point value which is then stored into X.

-
- Miscellaneous Parameters
- ========================
-
- `PREDICATE_CODES'
- Optionally define this if you have added predicates to
- `MACHINE.c'. This macro is called within an initializer of an
- array of structures. The first field in the structure is the name
- of a predicate and the second field is an array of rtl codes. For
- each predicate, list all rtl codes that can be in expressions
- matched by the predicate. The list should have a trailing comma.
- Here is an example of two entries in the list for a typical RISC
- machine:
-
- #define PREDICATE_CODES \
- {"gen_reg_rtx_operand", {SUBREG, REG}}, \
- {"reg_or_short_cint_operand", {SUBREG, REG, CONST_INT}},
-
- Defining this macro does not affect the generated code (however,
- incorrect definitions that omit an rtl code that may be matched by
- the predicate can cause the compiler to malfunction). Instead, it
- allows the table built by `genrecog' to be more compact and
- efficient, thus speeding up the compiler. The most important
- predicates to include in the list specified by this macro are
- thoses used in the most insn patterns.
-
- `CASE_VECTOR_MODE'
- An alias for a machine mode name. This is the machine mode that
- elements of a jump-table should have.
-
- `CASE_VECTOR_PC_RELATIVE'
- Define this macro if jump-tables should contain relative addresses.
-
- `CASE_DROPS_THROUGH'
- Define this if control falls through a `case' insn when the index
- value is out of range. This means the specified default-label is
- actually ignored by the `case' insn proper.
-
- `BYTE_LOADS_ZERO_EXTEND'
- Define this macro if an instruction to load a value narrower than a
- word from memory into a register also zero-extends the value to
- the whole register.
-
- `IMPLICIT_FIX_EXPR'
- An alias for a tree code that should be used by default for
- conversion of floating point values to fixed point. Normally,
- `FIX_ROUND_EXPR' is used.
-
- `FIXUNS_TRUNC_LIKE_FIX_TRUNC'
- Define this macro if the same instructions that convert a floating
- point number to a signed fixed point number also convert validly
- to an unsigned one.
-
- `EASY_DIV_EXPR'
- An alias for a tree code that is the easiest kind of division to
- compile code for in the general case. It may be `TRUNC_DIV_EXPR',
- `FLOOR_DIV_EXPR', `CEIL_DIV_EXPR' or `ROUND_DIV_EXPR'. These four
- division operators differ in how they round the result to an
- integer. `EASY_DIV_EXPR' is used when it is permissible to use
- any of those kinds of division and the choice should be made on
- the basis of efficiency.
-
- `MOVE_MAX'
- The maximum number of bytes that a single instruction can move
- quickly from memory to memory.
-
- `SHIFT_COUNT_TRUNCATED'
- Defining this macro causes the compiler to omit a sign-extend,
- zero-extend, or bitwise `and' instruction that truncates the count
- of a shift operation to a width equal to the number of bits needed
- to represent the size of the object being shifted. On machines
- that have instructions that act on bitfields at variable
- positions, including `bit test' instructions, defining
- `SHIFT_COUNT_TRUNCATED' also causes truncation not to be applied
- to these instructions.
-
- If both types of instructions truncate the count (for shifts) and
- position (for bitfield operations), or if no variable-position
- bitfield instructions exist, you should define this macro.
-
- However, on some machines, such as the 80386 and the 680x0,
- truncation only applies to shift operations and not the (real or
- pretended) bitfield operations. Do not define
- `SHIFT_COUNT_TRUNCATED' on such machines. Instead, add patterns
- to the `md' file that include the implied truncation of the shift
- instructions.
-
- `TRULY_NOOP_TRUNCATION (OUTPREC, INPREC)'
- A C expression which is nonzero if on this machine it is safe to
- "convert" an integer of INPREC bits to one of OUTPREC bits (where
- OUTPREC is smaller than INPREC) by merely operating on it as if it
- had only OUTPREC bits.
-
- On many machines, this expression can be 1.
-
- It is reported that suboptimal code can result when
- `TRULY_NOOP_TRUNCATION' returns 1 for a pair of sizes for modes for
- which `MODES_TIEABLE_P' is 0. If this is the case, making
- `TRULY_NOOP_TRUNCATION' return 0 in such cases may improve things.
-
- `STORE_FLAG_VALUE'
- A C expression describing the value returned by a comparison
- operator and stored by a store-flag instruction (`sCOND') when the
- condition is true. This description must apply to *all* the
- `sCOND' patterns and all the comparison operators.
-
- A value of 1 or -1 means that the instruction implementing the
- comparison operator returns exactly 1 or -1 when the comparison is
- true and 0 when the comparison is false. Otherwise, the value
- indicates which bits of the result are guaranteed to be 1 when the
- comparison is true. This value is interpreted in the mode of the
- comparison operation, which is given by the mode of the first
- operand in the `sCOND' pattern. Either the low bit or the sign
- bit of `STORE_FLAG_VALUE' be on. Presently, only those bits are
- used by the compiler.
-
- If `STORE_FLAG_VALUE' is neither 1 or -1, the compiler will
- generate code that depends only on the specified bits. It can also
- replace comparison operators with equivalent operations if they
- cause the required bits to be set, even if the remaining bits are
- undefined. For example, on a machine whose comparison operators
- return an `SImode' value and where `STORE_FLAG_VALUE' is defined as
- `0x80000000', saying that just the sign bit is relevant, the
- expression
-
- (ne:SI (and:SI X (const_int POWER-OF-2)) (const_int 0))
-
- can be converted to
-
- (ashift:SI X (const_int N))
-
- where N is the appropriate shift count to move the bit being
- tested into the sign bit.
-
- There is no way to describe a machine that always sets the
- low-order bit for a true value, but does not guarantee the value
- of any other bits, but we do not know of any machine that has such
- an instruction. If you are trying to port GNU CC to such a
- machine, include an instruction to perform a logical-and of the
- result with 1 in the pattern for the comparison operators and let
- us know (*note Bug Reporting::.).
-
- Often, a machine will have multiple instructions that obtain a
- value from a comparison (or the condition codes). Here are rules
- to guide the choice of value for `STORE_FLAG_VALUE', and hence the
- instructions to be used:
-
- * Use the shortest sequence that yields a valid definition for
- `STORE_FLAG_VALUE'. It is more efficient for the compiler to
- "normalize" the value (convert it to, e.g., 1 or 0) than for
- the comparison operators to do so because there may be
- opportunities to combine the normalization with other
- operations.
-
- * For equal-length sequences, use a value of 1 or -1, with -1
- being slightly preferred on machines with expensive jumps and
- 1 preferred on other machines.
-
- * As a second choice, choose a value of `0x80000001' if
- instructions exist that set both the sign and low-order bits
- but do not define the others.
-
- * Otherwise, use a value of `0x80000000'.
-
- You need not define `STORE_FLAG_VALUE' if the machine has no
- store-flag instructions.
-
- `Pmode'
- An alias for the machine mode for pointers. Normally the
- definition can be
-
- #define Pmode SImode
-
- `FUNCTION_MODE'
- An alias for the machine mode used for memory references to
- functions being called, in `call' RTL expressions. On most
- machines this should be `QImode'.
-
- `INTEGRATE_THRESHOLD (DECL)'
- A C expression for the maximum number of instructions above which
- the function DECL should not be inlined. DECL is a
- `FUNCTION_DECL' node.
-
- The default definition of this macro is 64 plus 8 times the number
- of arguments that the function accepts. Some people think a larger
- threshold should be used on RISC machines.
-
- `SCCS_DIRECTIVE'
- Define this if the preprocessor should ignore `#sccs' directives
- and print no error message.
-
- `HANDLE_PRAGMA (STREAM)'
- Define this macro if you want to implement any pragmas. If
- defined, it should be a C statement to be executed when `#pragma'
- is seen. The argument STREAM is the stdio input stream from which
- the source text can be read.
-
- It is generally a bad idea to implement new uses of `#pragma'. The
- only reason to define this macro is for compatibility with other
- compilers that do support `#pragma' for the sake of any user
- programs which already use it.
-
- `DOLLARS_IN_IDENTIFIERS'
- Define this macro to control use of the character `$' in identifier
- names. The value should be 0, 1, or 2. 0 means `$' is not allowed
- by default; 1 means it is allowed by default if `-traditional' is
- used; 2 means it is allowed by default provided `-ansi' is not
- used. 1 is the default; there is no need to define this macro in
- that case.
-
- `NO_DOLLAR_IN_LABEL'
- Define this macro if the assembler does not accept the character
- `$' in label names. By default constructors and destructors in
- G++ have `$' in the identifiers. If this macro is defined, `.' is
- used instead.
-
- `DEFAULT_MAIN_RETURN'
- Define this macro if the target system expects every program's
- `main' function to return a standard "success" value by default
- (if no other value is explicitly returned).
-
- The definition should be a C statement (sans semicolon) to
- generate the appropriate rtl instructions. It is used only when
- compiling the end of `main'.
-
- `HAVE_ATEXIT'
- Define this if the target system supports the function `atexit'
- from the ANSI C standard. If this is not defined, and
- `INIT_SECTION_ASM_OP' is not defined, a default `exit' function
- will be provided to support C++.
-
- `EXIT_BODY'
- Define this if your `exit' function needs to do something besides
- calling an external function `_cleanup' before terminating with
- `_exit'. The `EXIT_BODY' macro is only needed if netiher
- `HAVE_ATEXIT' nor `INIT_SECTION_ASM_OP' are defined.

- The Configuration File
- **********************
-
- The configuration file `xm-MACHINE.h' contains macro definitions
- that describe the machine and system on which the compiler is running,
- unlike the definitions in `MACHINE.h', which describe the machine for
- which the compiler is producing output. Most of the values in
- `xm-MACHINE.h' are actually the same on all machines that GNU CC runs
- on, so large parts of all configuration files are identical. But there
- are some macros that vary:
-
- `USG'
- Define this macro if the host system is System V.
-
- `VMS'
- Define this macro if the host system is VMS.
-
- `FAILURE_EXIT_CODE'
- A C expression for the status code to be returned when the compiler
- exits after serious errors.
-
- `SUCCESS_EXIT_CODE'
- A C expression for the status code to be returned when the compiler
- exits without serious errors.
-
- `HOST_WORDS_BIG_ENDIAN'
- Defined if the host machine stores words of multi-word values in
- big-endian order. (GNU CC does not depend on the host byte
- ordering within a word.)
-
- `HOST_FLOAT_FORMAT'
- A numeric code distinguishing the floating point format for the
- host machine. See `TARGET_FLOAT_FORMAT' in *Note Storage Layout::
- for the alternatives and default.
-
- `HOST_BITS_PER_CHAR'
- A C expression for the number of bits in `char' on the host
- machine.
-
- `HOST_BITS_PER_SHORT'
- A C expression for the number of bits in `short' on the host
- machine.
-
- `HOST_BITS_PER_INT'
- A C expression for the number of bits in `int' on the host machine.
-
- `HOST_BITS_PER_LONG'
- A C expression for the number of bits in `long' on the host
- machine.
-
- `ONLY_INT_FIELDS'
- Define this macro to indicate that the host compiler only supports
- `int' bit fields, rather than other integral types, including
- `enum', as do most C compilers.
-
- `EXECUTABLE_SUFFIX'
- Define this macro if the host system uses a naming convention for
- executable files that involves a common suffix (such as, in some
- systems, `.exe') that must be mentioned explicitly when you run
- the program.
-
- `OBSTACK_CHUNK_SIZE'
- A C expression for the size of ordinary obstack chunks. If you
- don't define this, a usually-reasonable default is used.
-
- `OBSTACK_CHUNK_ALLOC'
- The function used to allocate obstack chunks. If you don't define
- this, `xmalloc' is used.
-
- `OBSTACK_CHUNK_FREE'
- The function used to free obstack chunks. If you don't define
- this, `free' is used.
-
- `USE_C_ALLOCA'
- Define this macro to indicate that the compiler is running with the
- `alloca' implemented in C. This version of `alloca' can be found
- in the file `alloca.c'; to use it, you must also alter the
- `Makefile' variable `ALLOCA'. (This is done automatically for the
- systems on which we know it is needed.)
-
- If you do define this macro, you should probably do it as follows:
-
- #ifndef __GNUC__
- #define USE_C_ALLOCA
- #else
- #define alloca __builtin_alloca
- #endif
-
- so that when the compiler is compiled with GNU CC it uses the more
- efficient built-in `alloca' function.
-
- `FUNCTION_CONVERSION_BUG'
- Define this macro to indicate that the host compiler does not
- properly handle converting a function value to a
- pointer-to-function when it is used in an expression.
-
- `HAVE_VPRINTF'
- Define this if the library function `vprintf' is available on your
- system.
-
- `MULTIBYTE_CHARS'
- Define this macro to enable support for multibyte characters in the
- input to GNU CC. This requires that the host system support the
- ANSI C library functions for converting multibyte characters to
- wide characters.
-
- `HAVE_PUTENV'
- Define this if the library function `putenv' is available on your
- system.
-
- `NO_SYS_SIGLIST'
- Define this if your system *does not* provide the variable
- `sys_siglist'.
-
- Some systems do provide this variable, but with a different name
- such as `_sys_siglist'. On these systems, you can define
- `sys_siglist' as a macro which expands into the name actually
- provided.
-
- `NO_STAB_H'
- Define this if your system does not have the include file
- `stab.h'. If `USG' is defined, `NO_STAB_H' is assumed.
-
- In addition, configuration files for system V define `bcopy',
- `bzero' and `bcmp' as aliases. Some files define `alloca' as a macro
- when compiled with GNU CC, in order to take advantage of the benefit of
- GNU CC's built-in `alloca'.
