/* REG_DEP_TRUE is used in LOG_LINKS to represent a read-after-write
   dependency (i.e. a true data dependency).  This is here, not
   grouped with REG_DEP_ANTI and REG_DEP_OUTPUT, because some passes
   use a literal 0 for it.  */
REG_NOTE (DEP_TRUE)

/* The value in REG dies in this insn (i.e., it is not needed past
   this insn).  If REG is set in this insn, the REG_DEAD note may,
   but need not, be omitted.  */
REG_NOTE (DEAD)

/* The REG is autoincremented or autodecremented in this insn.  */
REG_NOTE (INC)

/* Describes the insn as a whole; it says that the insn sets a
   register to a constant value or to be equivalent to a memory
   address.  If the register is spilled to the stack then the constant
   value should be substituted for it.  The contents of the REG_EQUIV
   is the constant value or memory address, which may be different
   from the source of the SET although it has the same value.  A
   REG_EQUIV note may also appear on an insn which copies a register
   parameter to a pseudo-register, if there is a memory address which
   could be used to hold that pseudo-register throughout the function.  */
REG_NOTE (EQUIV)

/* Like REG_EQUIV except that the destination is only momentarily
   equal to the specified rtx.  Therefore, it cannot be used for
   substitution; but it can be used for cse.  */
REG_NOTE (EQUAL)

/* This insn copies the return-value of a library call out of the hard
   reg for return values.  This note is actually an INSN_LIST and it
   points to the first insn involved in setting up arguments for the
   call.  flow.c uses this to delete the entire library call when its
   result is dead.  */
REG_NOTE (RETVAL)

/* The inverse of REG_RETVAL: it goes on the first insn of the library
   call and points at the one that has the REG_RETVAL.  This note is
   also an INSN_LIST.  */
REG_NOTE (LIBCALL)

/* The register is always nonnegative during the containing loop.
   This is used in branches so that decrement and branch instructions
   terminating on zero can be matched.  There must be an insn pattern
   in the md file named `decrement_and_branch_until_zero' or else this
   will never be added to any instructions.  */
REG_NOTE (NONNEG)

REG_NOTE (NO_CONFLICT)

/* Identifies a register set in this insn and never used.  */
REG_NOTE (UNUSED)

/* REG_CC_SETTER and REG_CC_USER link a pair of insns that set and use
   CC0, respectively.  Normally, these are required to be consecutive
   insns, but we permit putting a cc0-setting insn in the delay slot
   of a branch as long as only one copy of the insn exists.  In that
   case, these notes point from one to the other to allow code
   generation to determine what any require information and to
   properly update CC_STATUS.  These notes are INSN_LISTs.  */

/* REG_BR_PROB is attached to JUMP_INSNs and CALL_INSNs.  It has an

   won't return.  */

/* Attached to a call insn; indicates that the call is malloc-like and
   that the pointer returned cannot alias anything else.  */
REG_NOTE (NOALIAS)

/* REG_BR_PRED is attached to JUMP_INSNs and CALL_INSNSs.  It contains
   CONCAT of two integer value.  First specifies the branch predictor
   that added the note, second specifies the predicted hitrate of
   branch in the same format as REG_BR_PROB note uses.  */
REG_NOTE (BR_PRED)

/* Attached to insns that are RTX_FRAME_RELATED_P, but are too complex
   for DWARF to interpret what they imply.  The attached rtx is used
   instead of intuition.  */
REG_NOTE (FRAME_RELATED_EXPR)

/* Indicates that REG holds the exception context for the function.
   This context is shared by inline functions, so the code to acquire
   the real exception context is delayed until after inlining.  */
REG_NOTE (EH_CONTEXT)

/* Indicates what exception region an INSN belongs in.  This is used
   to indicate what region to which a call may throw.  REGION 0
   indicates that a call cannot throw at all.  REGION -1 indicates
   that it cannot throw, nor will it execute a non-local goto.  */

REG_NOTE (SAVE_NOTE)

/* Indicates that this insn (which is part of the prologue) computes a

   At present the parameter is unused and set to (const_int 0).  */
REG_NOTE (MAYBE_DEAD)

/* Indicates that a call does not return.  */
REG_NOTE (NORETURN)

/* Indicates that an indirect jump is a non-local goto instead of a
   computed goto.  */
REG_NOTE (NON_LOCAL_GOTO)

/* Indicates that a jump crosses between hot and cold sections in a
   (partitioned) assembly or .o file, and therefore should not be
   reduced to a simpler jump by optimizations.  */
REG_NOTE (CROSSING_JUMP)

/* This kind of note is generated at each to `setjmp', and similar
   functions that can return twice.  */
