  71. <p>Variable tracking relies on <code>MEM_EXPR</code> and <code>REG_EXPR</code>
  72. annotations to determine what user variables memory and register
  73. references refer to.
  74. </p>
  75. <p>Variable tracking at assignments uses these notes only when they refer
  76. to variables that live at fixed locations (e.g., addressable
  77. variables, global non-automatic variables). For variables whose
  78. location may vary, it relies on the following types of notes.

  83. <dt><code>(var_location:<var>mode</var> <var>var</var> <var>exp</var> <var>stat</var>)</code></dt>
  84. <dd><p>Binds variable <code>var</code>, a tree, to value <var>exp</var>, an RTL
  85. expression. It appears only in <code>NOTE_INSN_VAR_LOCATION</code> and
  86. <code>DEBUG_INSN</code>s, with slightly different meanings. <var>mode</var>, if
  87. present, represents the mode of <var>exp</var>, which is useful if it is a
  88. modeless expression. <var>stat</var> is only meaningful in notes,
  89. indicating whether the variable is known to be initialized or
  90. uninitialized.
