+@node Define Constraints
+@subsection Defining Machine-Specific Constraints
+@cindex defining constraints
+@cindex constraints, defining
+
+Machine-specific constraints fall into two categories: register and
+non-register constraints. Within the latter category, constraints
+which allow subsets of all possible memory or address operands should
+be specially marked, to give @code{reload} more information.
+
+Machine-specific constraints can be given names of arbitrary length,
+but they must be entirely composed of letters, digits, underscores
+(@samp{_}), and angle brackets (@samp{< >}). Like C identifiers, they
+must begin with a letter or underscore.
+
+In order to avoid ambiguity in operand constraint strings, no
+constraint can have a name that begins with any other constraint's
+name. For example, if @code{x} is defined as a constraint name,
+@code{xy} may not be, and vice versa. As a consequence of this rule,
+no constraint may begin with one of the generic constraint letters:
+@samp{E F V X g i m n o p r s}.
+
+Register constraints correspond directly to register classes.
+@xref{Register Classes}. There is thus not much flexibility in their
+definitions.
+
+@deffn {MD Expression} define_register_constraint name regclass docstring
+All three arguments are string constants.
+@var{name} is the name of the constraint, as it will appear in
+@code{match_operand} expressions. @var{regclass} can be either the
+name of the corresponding register class (@pxref{Register Classes}),
+or a C expression which evaluates to the appropriate register class.
+If it is an expression, it must have no side effects, and it cannot
+look at the operand. The usual use of expressions is to map some
+register constraints to @code{NO_REGS} when the register class
+is not available on a given subarchitecture.
+
+@var{docstring} is a sentence documenting the meaning of the
+constraint. Docstrings are explained further below.
+@end deffn
+
+Non-register constraints are more like predicates: the constraint
+definition gives a Boolean expression which indicates whether the
+constraint matches.
+
+@deffn {MD Expression} define_constraint name docstring exp
+The @var{name} and @var{docstring} arguments are the same as for
+@code{define_register_constraint}, but note that the docstring comes
+immediately after the name for these expressions. @var{exp} is an RTL
+expression, obeying the same rules as the RTL expressions in predicate
+definitions. @xref{Defining Predicates}, for details. If it
+evaluates true, the constraint matches; if it evaluates false, it
+doesn't. Constraint expressions should indicate which RTL codes they
+might match, just like predicate expressions.
+
+@code{match_test} C expressions have access to the
+following variables:
+
+@table @var
+@item op
+The RTL object defining the operand.
+@item mode
+The machine mode of @var{op}.
+@item ival
+@samp{INTVAL (@var{op})}, if @var{op} is a @code{const_int}.
+@item hval
+@samp{CONST_DOUBLE_HIGH (@var{op})}, if @var{op} is an integer
+@code{const_double}.
+@item lval
+@samp{CONST_DOUBLE_LOW (@var{op})}, if @var{op} is an integer
+@code{const_double}.
+@item rval
+@samp{CONST_DOUBLE_REAL_VALUE (@var{op})}, if @var{op} is a floating-point
+@code{const_double}.
+@end table
+
+The @var{*val} variables should only be used once another piece of the
+expression has verified that @var{op} is the appropriate kind of RTL
+object.
+@end deffn
+
+Most non-register constraints should be defined with
+@code{define_constraint}. The remaining two definition expressions
+are only appropriate for constraints that should be handled specially
+by @code{reload} if they fail to match.
+
+@deffn {MD Expression} define_memory_constraint name docstring exp
+Use this expression for constraints that match a subset of all memory
+operands: that is, @code{reload} can make them match by converting the
+operand to the form @samp{@w{(mem (reg @var{X}))}}, where @var{X} is a
+base register (from the register class specified by
+@code{BASE_REG_CLASS}, @pxref{Register Classes}).
+
+For example, on the S/390, some instructions do not accept arbitrary
+memory references, but only those that do not make use of an index
+register. The constraint letter @samp{Q} is defined to represent a
+memory address of this type. If @samp{Q} is defined with
+@code{define_memory_constraint}, a @samp{Q} constraint can handle any
+memory operand, because @code{reload} knows it can simply copy the
+memory address into a base register if required. This is analogous to
+the way a @samp{o} constraint can handle any memory operand.
+
+The syntax and semantics are otherwise identical to
+@code{define_constraint}.
+@end deffn
+
+@deffn {MD Expression} define_address_constraint name docstring exp
+Use this expression for constraints that match a subset of all address
+operands: that is, @code{reload} can make the constraint match by
+converting the operand to the form @samp{@w{(reg @var{X})}}, again
+with @var{X} a base register.
+
+Constraints defined with @code{define_address_constraint} can only be
+used with the @code{address_operand} predicate, or machine-specific
+predicates that work the same way. They are treated analogously to
+the generic @samp{p} constraint.
+
+The syntax and semantics are otherwise identical to
+@code{define_constraint}.
+@end deffn
+
+For historical reasons, names beginning with the letters @samp{G H}
+are reserved for constraints that match only @code{const_double}s, and
+names beginning with the letters @samp{I J K L M N O P} are reserved
+for constraints that match only @code{const_int}s. This may change in
+the future. For the time being, constraints with these names must be
+written in a stylized form, so that @code{genpreds} can tell you did
+it correctly:
+
+@smallexample
+@group
+(define_constraint "[@var{GHIJKLMNOP}]@dots{}"
+ "@var{doc}@dots{}"
+ (and (match_code "const_int") ; @r{@code{const_double} for G/H}
+ @var{condition}@dots{})) ; @r{usually a @code{match_test}}
+@end group
+@end smallexample
+@c the semicolons line up in the formatted manual
+
+It is fine to use names beginning with other letters for constraints
+that match @code{const_double}s or @code{const_int}s.
+
+Each docstring in a constraint definition should be one or more complete
+sentences, marked up in Texinfo format. @emph{They are currently unused.}
+In the future they will be copied into the GCC manual, in @ref{Machine
+Constraints}, replacing the hand-maintained tables currently found in
+that section. Also, in the future the compiler may use this to give
+more helpful diagnostics when poor choice of @code{asm} constraints
+causes a reload failure.
+
+If you put the pseudo-Texinfo directive @samp{@@internal} at the
+beginning of a docstring, then (in the future) it will appear only in
+the internals manual's version of the machine-specific constraint tables.
+Use this for constraints that should not appear in @code{asm} statements.
+
+@node C Constraint Interface
+@subsection Testing constraints from C
+@cindex testing constraints
+@cindex constraints, testing
+
+It is occasionally useful to test a constraint from C code rather than
+implicitly via the constraint string in a @code{match_operand}. The
+generated file @file{tm_p.h} declares a few interfaces for working
+with machine-specific constraints. None of these interfaces work with
+the generic constraints described in @ref{Simple Constraints}. This
+may change in the future.
+
+@strong{Warning:} @file{tm_p.h} may declare other functions that
+operate on constraints, besides the ones documented here. Do not use
+those functions from machine-dependent code. They exist to implement
+the old constraint interface that machine-independent components of
+the compiler still expect. They will change or disappear in the
+future.
+
+Some valid constraint names are not valid C identifiers, so there is a
+mangling scheme for referring to them from C@. Constraint names that
+do not contain angle brackets or underscores are left unchanged.
+Underscores are doubled, each @samp{<} is replaced with @samp{_l}, and
+each @samp{>} with @samp{_g}. Here are some examples:
+
+@c the @c's prevent double blank lines in the printed manual.
+@example
+@multitable {Original} {Mangled}
+@item @strong{Original} @tab @strong{Mangled} @c
+@item @code{x} @tab @code{x} @c
+@item @code{P42x} @tab @code{P42x} @c
+@item @code{P4_x} @tab @code{P4__x} @c
+@item @code{P4>x} @tab @code{P4_gx} @c
+@item @code{P4>>} @tab @code{P4_g_g} @c
+@item @code{P4_g>} @tab @code{P4__g_g} @c
+@end multitable
+@end example
+
+Throughout this section, the variable @var{c} is either a constraint
+in the abstract sense, or a constant from @code{enum constraint_num};
+the variable @var{m} is a mangled constraint name (usually as part of
+a larger identifier).
+
+@deftp Enum constraint_num
+For each machine-specific constraint, there is a corresponding
+enumeration constant: @samp{CONSTRAINT_} plus the mangled name of the
+constraint. Functions that take an @code{enum constraint_num} as an
+argument expect one of these constants.
+
+Machine-independent constraints do not have associated constants.
+This may change in the future.
+@end deftp
+
+@deftypefun {inline bool} satisfies_constraint_@var{m} (rtx @var{exp})
+For each machine-specific, non-register constraint @var{m}, there is
+one of these functions; it returns @code{true} if @var{exp} satisfies the
+constraint. These functions are only visible if @file{rtl.h} was included
+before @file{tm_p.h}.
+@end deftypefun
+
+@deftypefun bool constraint_satisfied_p (rtx @var{exp}, enum constraint_num @var{c})
+Like the @code{satisfies_constraint_@var{m}} functions, but the
+constraint to test is given as an argument, @var{c}. If @var{c}
+specifies a register constraint, this function will always return
+@code{false}.
+@end deftypefun
+
+@deftypefun {enum reg_class} regclass_for_constraint (enum constraint_num @var{c})
+Returns the register class associated with @var{c}. If @var{c} is not
+a register constraint, or those registers are not available for the
+currently selected subtarget, returns @code{NO_REGS}.
+@end deftypefun
+
+Here is an example use of @code{satisfies_constraint_@var{m}}. In
+peephole optimizations (@pxref{Peephole Definitions}), operand
+constraint strings are ignored, so if there are relevant constraints,
+they must be tested in the C condition. In the example, the
+optimization is applied if operand 2 does @emph{not} satisfy the
+@samp{K} constraint. (This is a simplified version of a peephole
+definition from the i386 machine description.)
