|
|
<p>GCC usually addresses every static object as a separate entity.
|
For example, if we have:
|
</p>
|
<div class="smallexample">
|
<pre class="smallexample">static int a, b, c;
|
int foo (void) { return a + b + c; }
|
</pre></div>
|
|
<p>the code for <code>foo</code> will usually calculate three separate symbolic
|
addresses: those of <code>a</code>, <code>b</code> and <code>c</code>. On some targets,
|
it would be better to calculate just one symbolic address and access
|
the three variables relative to it. The equivalent pseudocode would
|
be something like:
|
</p>
|
<div class="smallexample">
|
<pre class="smallexample">int foo (void)
|
{
|
register int *xr = &x;
|
return xr[&a - &x] + xr[&b - &x] + xr[&c - &x];
|
}
|
</pre></div>
|
|
<p>(which isn’t valid C). We refer to shared addresses like <code>x</code> as
|
“section anchors”. Their use is controlled by <samp>-fsection-anchors</samp>.
|
</p>
|
<p>The hooks below describe the target properties that GCC needs to know
|
in order to make effective use of section anchors. It won’t use
|
section anchors at all unless either <code>TARGET_MIN_ANCHOR_OFFSET</code>
|
or <code>TARGET_MAX_ANCHOR_OFFSET</code> is set to a nonzero value.
|
</p>
|
<dl>
|
<dt><a name="index-TARGET_005fMIN_005fANCHOR_005fOFFSET"></a>Target Hook: <em>HOST_WIDE_INT</em> <strong>TARGET_MIN_ANCHOR_OFFSET</strong></dt>
|
<dd><p>The minimum offset that should be applied to a section anchor.
|
On most targets, it should be the smallest offset that can be
|
applied to a base register while still giving a legitimate address
|
for every mode. The default value is 0.
|
</p></dd></dl>
|
|
<dl>
|
<dt><a name="index-TARGET_005fMAX_005fANCHOR_005fOFFSET"></a>Target Hook: <em>HOST_WIDE_INT</em> <strong>TARGET_MAX_ANCHOR_OFFSET</strong></dt>
|
<dd><p>Like <code>TARGET_MIN_ANCHOR_OFFSET</code>, but the maximum (inclusive)
|
offset that should be applied to section anchors. The default
|
value is 0.
|
</p></dd></dl>
|
|
<dl>
|
<dt><a name="index-TARGET_005fASM_005fOUTPUT_005fANCHOR"></a>Target Hook: <em>void</em> <strong>TARGET_ASM_OUTPUT_ANCHOR</strong> <em>(rtx <var>x</var>)</em></dt>
|
<dd><p>Write the assembly code to define section anchor <var>x</var>, which is a
|
<code>SYMBOL_REF</code> for which ‘<samp>SYMBOL_REF_ANCHOR_P (<var>x</var>)</samp>’ is true.
|
The hook is called with the assembly output position set to the beginning
|
of <code>SYMBOL_REF_BLOCK (<var>x</var>)</code>.
|
</p>
|
<p>If <code>ASM_OUTPUT_DEF</code> is available, the hook’s default definition uses
|
it to define the symbol as ‘<samp>. + SYMBOL_REF_BLOCK_OFFSET (<var>x</var>)</samp>’.
|
If <code>ASM_OUTPUT_DEF</code> is not available, the hook’s default definition
|
is <code>NULL</code>, which disables the use of section anchors altogether.
|
</p></dd></dl>
|
|
<dl>
|
<dt><a name="index-TARGET_005fUSE_005fANCHORS_005fFOR_005fSYMBOL_005fP"></a>Target Hook: <em>bool</em> <strong>TARGET_USE_ANCHORS_FOR_SYMBOL_P</strong> <em>(const_rtx <var>x</var>)</em></dt>
|
<dd><p>Return true if GCC should attempt to use anchors to access <code>SYMBOL_REF</code>
|
<var>x</var>. You can assume ‘<samp>SYMBOL_REF_HAS_BLOCK_INFO_P (<var>x</var>)</samp>’ and
|
‘<samp>!SYMBOL_REF_ANCHOR_P (<var>x</var>)</samp>’.
|
</p>
|
<p>The default version is correct for most targets, but you might need to
|
intercept this hook to handle things like target-specific attributes
|
or target-specific sections.
