  72. <p>In addition to describing the instruction supported by the target machine,
  73. the <samp>md</samp> file also defines a group of <em>attributes</em> and a set of
  74. values for each. Every generated insn is assigned a value for each attribute.
  75. One possible attribute would be the effect that the insn has on the machine&rsquo;s
  76. condition code. This attribute can then be used by <code>NOTICE_UPDATE_CC</code>
  77. to track the condition codes.
