<a name="index-tm_002eh-macros"></a>

<p>In addition to the file <samp><var>machine</var>.md</samp>, a machine description
includes a C header file conventionally given the name
<samp><var>machine</var>.h</samp> and a C source file named <samp><var>machine</var>.c</samp>.
The header file defines numerous macros that convey the information
about the target machine that does not fit into the scheme of the
<samp>.md</samp> file.  The file <samp>tm.h</samp> should be a link to
<samp><var>machine</var>.h</samp>.  The header file <samp>config.h</samp> includes
<samp>tm.h</samp> and most compiler source files include <samp>config.h</samp>.  The
source file defines a variable <code>targetm</code>, which is a structure
containing pointers to functions and data relating to the target
machine.  <samp><var>machine</var>.c</samp> should also contain their definitions,
if they are not defined elsewhere in GCC, and other functions called
through the macros defined in the <samp>.h</samp> file.
