 - <h4 class="subsubsection">17.23.1.2 Substitution in Mode Iterators</h4>
 - <a name="index-define_005fmode_005fattr"></a>
 - 
 - <p>If an <samp>.md</samp> file construct uses mode iterators, each version of the
 - construct will often need slightly different strings or modes.  For
 - example:
 - </p>
 - <ul>
 - <li> When a <code>define_expand</code> defines several <code>add<var>m</var>3</code> patterns
 - (see <a href="Standard-Names.html#Standard-Names">Standard Names</a>), each expander will need to use the
 - appropriate mode name for <var>m</var>.
 - 
 - </li><li> When a <code>define_insn</code> defines several instruction patterns,
 - each instruction will often use a different assembler mnemonic.
 - 
 - </li><li> When a <code>define_insn</code> requires operands with different modes,
 - using an iterator for one of the operand modes usually requires a specific
 - mode for the other operand(s).
 - </li></ul>
 - 
 - <p>GCC supports such variations through a system of “mode attributes”.
 - There are two standard attributes: <code>mode</code>, which is the name of
 - the mode in lower case, and <code>MODE</code>, which is the same thing in
 - upper case.  You can define other attributes using:
 - </p>
 - <div class="smallexample">
 - <pre class="smallexample">(define_mode_attr <var>name</var> [(<var>mode1</var> "<var>value1</var>") … (<var>moden</var> "<var>valuen</var>")])
 - </pre></div>
 - 
 - <p>where <var>name</var> is the name of the attribute and <var>valuei</var>
 - is the value associated with <var>modei</var>.
 - </p>
 - <p>When GCC replaces some <var>:iterator</var> with <var>:mode</var>, it will scan
 - each string and mode in the pattern for sequences of the form
 - <code><<var>iterator</var>:<var>attr</var>></code>, where <var>attr</var> is the name of a
 - mode attribute.  If the attribute is defined for <var>mode</var>, the whole
 - <code><…></code> sequence will be replaced by the appropriate attribute
 - value.
 - </p>
 - <p>For example, suppose an <samp>.md</samp> file has:
 - </p>
 - <div class="smallexample">
 - <pre class="smallexample">(define_mode_iterator P [(SI "Pmode == SImode") (DI "Pmode == DImode")])
 - (define_mode_attr load [(SI "lw") (DI "ld")])
 - </pre></div>
 - 
 - <p>If one of the patterns that uses <code>:P</code> contains the string
 - <code>"<P:load>\t%0,%1"</code>, the <code>SI</code> version of that pattern
 - will use <code>"lw\t%0,%1"</code> and the <code>DI</code> version will use
 - <code>"ld\t%0,%1"</code>.
 - </p>
 - <p>Here is an example of using an attribute for a mode:
 - </p>
 - <div class="smallexample">
 - <pre class="smallexample">(define_mode_iterator LONG [SI DI])
 - (define_mode_attr SHORT [(SI "HI") (DI "SI")])
 - (define_insn …
 -   (sign_extend:LONG (match_operand:<LONG:SHORT> …)) …)
 - </pre></div>
 - 
 - <p>The <code><var>iterator</var>:</code> prefix may be omitted, in which case the
 - substitution will be attempted for every iterator expansion.
