Right now there is no documentation for the GCC tree -> rtl interfaces
2
(or more generally the interfaces for adding new languages).
3
 
4
Such documentation would be of great benefit to the project.  Until such
5
time as we can formally start documenting the interface this file will
6
serve as a repository for information on these interface and any incompatable
7
changes we've made.

  In an effort to decrease execution time, single char tree code
11
  classes were changed to enumerated values.
12
 
13
  Old way:
14
 
15
    DEFTREECODE (CLASS_METHOD_DECL, "class_method_decl", 'd', 0)
16
 
17
  New way:
18
 
19
    DEFTREECODE (CLASS_METHOD_DECL, "class_method_decl", tcc_declaration, 0)

2001-02-26:
22
  A DECL_INITIAL of NULL_TREE or error_mark_node in a VAR_DECL is no longer
23
  taken to signify a tentative definition which should not be emitted until
24
  end-of-file.  Frontends which want that behavior should set
25
  DECL_DEFER_OUTPUT before calling rest_of_decl_compilation.

Feb 1, 1998:

  GCC used to store structure sizes & offsets to elements as bitsize
30
  quantities.  This causes problems because a structure can only be
31
  (target memsize / 8) bytes long (this may effect arrays too).  This
32
  is particularly problematical on machines with small address spaces.
33
 
34
  So:
35
 
36
    All trees that represent sizes in bits should have a TREE_TYPE of
37
    bitsizetype (rather than sizetype).
38
 
39
    Accordingly, when such values are computed / initialized, care has to
40
    be takes to use / compute the proper type.
41
 
42
    When a size in bits is converted into a size in bytes, which is expressed
43
    in trees, care should be taken to change the tree's type again to sizetype.
44
 
45
?? 1997:
46
 
47
  In an effort to decrease cache thrashing and useless loads we've changed the
48
  third argument to the DEFTREECODE macro to be a single char.  This will
49
  affect languages that defined their own tree codes (usually in a .def file).
50
 
51
  Old way:
52
 
53
    DEFTREECODE (CLASS_METHOD_DECL, "class_method_decl", "d", 0)
54
 
55
  New way:
56
 
57
    DEFTREECODE (CLASS_METHOD_DECL, "class_method_decl", 'd', 0)
