<h3 class="section">25.2 The Language</h3>
<a name="index-The-Language"></a>

<p>The language to write expression simplifications in resembles other
domain-specific languages GCC uses.  Thus it is lispy.  Lets start
with an example from the match.pd file:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">(simplify
  (bit_and @0 integer_all_onesp)
  @0)
</pre></div>

<p>This example contains all required parts of an expression simplification.
A simplification is wrapped inside a <code>(simplify ...)</code> expression.
That contains at least two operands - an expression that is matched
with the GIMPLE or GENERIC IL and a replacement expression that is
returned if the match was successful.
</p>
<p>Expressions have an operator ID, <code>bit_and</code> in this case.  Expressions can
be lower-case tree codes with <code>_expr</code> stripped off or builtin
function code names in all-caps, like <code>BUILT_IN_SQRT</code>.
</p>
<p><code>@n</code> denotes a so-called capture.  It captures the operand and lets
you refer to it in other places of the match-and-simplify.  In the
above example it is refered to in the replacement expression.  Captures
are <code>@</code> followed by a number or an identifier.
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">(simplify
  (bit_xor @0 @0)
  { build_zero_cst (type); })
</pre></div>

<p>In this example <code>@0</code> is mentioned twice which constrains the matched
expression to have two equal operands.  Usually matches are constraint
to equal types.  If operands may be constants and conversions are involved
matching by value might be preferred in which case use <code>@@0</code> to
denote a by value match and the specific operand you want to refer to
in the result part.  This example also introduces
operands written in C code.  These can be used in the expression
replacements and are supposed to evaluate to a tree node which has to
be a valid GIMPLE operand (so you cannot generate expressions in C code).
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">(simplify
  (trunc_mod integer_zerop@0 @1)
  (if (!integer_zerop (@1))
   @0))
</pre></div>

<p>Here <code>@0</code> captures the first operand of the trunc_mod expression
which is also predicated with <code>integer_zerop</code>.  Expression operands
may be either expressions, predicates or captures.  Captures
can be unconstrained or capture expresions or predicates.
</p>
<p>This example introduces an optional operand of simplify,
the if-expression.  This condition is evaluated after the
expression matched in the IL and is required to evaluate to true
to enable the replacement expression in the second operand
position.  The expression operand of the <code>if</code> is a standard C
expression which may contain references to captures.  The <code>if</code>
has an optional third operand which may contain the replacement
expression that is enabled when the condition evaluates to false.
</p>
<p>A <code>if</code> expression can be used to specify a common condition
for multiple simplify patterns, avoiding the need
to repeat that multiple times:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">(if (!TYPE_SATURATING (type)
     &amp;&amp; !FLOAT_TYPE_P (type) &amp;&amp; !FIXED_POINT_TYPE_P (type))
  (simplify
    (minus (plus @0 @1) @0)
    @1)
  (simplify
    (minus (minus @0 @1) @0)
    (negate @1)))
</pre></div>

<p>Note that <code>if</code>s in outer position do not have the optional
else clause but instead have multiple then clauses.
</p>
<p>Ifs can be nested.
</p>
<p>There exists a <code>switch</code> expression which can be used to
chain conditions avoiding nesting <code>if</code>s too much:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">(simplify
 (simple_comparison @0 REAL_CST@1)
 (switch
  /* a CMP (-0) -&gt; a CMP 0  */
  (if (REAL_VALUE_MINUS_ZERO (TREE_REAL_CST (@1)))
   (cmp @0 { build_real (TREE_TYPE (@1), dconst0); }))
  /* x != NaN is always true, other ops are always false.  */
  (if (REAL_VALUE_ISNAN (TREE_REAL_CST (@1))
       &amp;&amp; ! HONOR_SNANS (@1))
   { constant_boolean_node (cmp == NE_EXPR, type); })))
</pre></div>

<p>Is equal to
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">(simplify
 (simple_comparison @0 REAL_CST@1)
 (switch
  /* a CMP (-0) -&gt; a CMP 0  */
  (if (REAL_VALUE_MINUS_ZERO (TREE_REAL_CST (@1)))
   (cmp @0 { build_real (TREE_TYPE (@1), dconst0); })
   /* x != NaN is always true, other ops are always false.  */
   (if (REAL_VALUE_ISNAN (TREE_REAL_CST (@1))
        &amp;&amp; ! HONOR_SNANS (@1))
    { constant_boolean_node (cmp == NE_EXPR, type); }))))
</pre></div>

<p>which has the second <code>if</code> in the else operand of the first.
The <code>switch</code> expression takes <code>if</code> expressions as
operands (which may not have else clauses) and as a last operand
a replacement expression which should be enabled by default if
no other condition evaluated to true.
</p>
<p>Captures can also be used for capturing results of sub-expressions.
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">#if GIMPLE
(simplify
  (pointer_plus (addr@2 @0) INTEGER_CST_P@1)
  (if (is_gimple_min_invariant (@2)))
  {
    HOST_WIDE_INT off;
    tree base = get_addr_base_and_unit_offset (@0, &amp;off);
    off += tree_to_uhwi (@1);
    /* Now with that we should be able to simply write
       (addr (mem_ref (addr @base) (plus @off @1)))  */
    build1 (ADDR_EXPR, type,
            build2 (MEM_REF, TREE_TYPE (TREE_TYPE (@2)),
                    build_fold_addr_expr (base),
                    build_int_cst (ptr_type_node, off)));
  })
#endif
</pre></div>

<p>In the above example, <code>@2</code> captures the result of the expression
<code>(addr @0)</code>.  For outermost expression only its type can be captured,
and the keyword <code>type</code> is reserved for this purpose.  The above
example also gives a way to conditionalize patterns to only apply
to <code>GIMPLE</code> or <code>GENERIC</code> by means of using the pre-defined
preprocessor macros <code>GIMPLE</code> and <code>GENERIC</code> and using
preprocessor directives.
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">(simplify
  (bit_and:c integral_op_p@0 (bit_ior:c (bit_not @0) @1))
  (bit_and @1 @0))
</pre></div>

<p>Here we introduce flags on match expressions.  The flag used
above, <code>c</code>, denotes that the expression should
be also matched commutated.  Thus the above match expression
is really the following four match expressions:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">  (bit_and integral_op_p@0 (bit_ior (bit_not @0) @1))
  (bit_and (bit_ior (bit_not @0) @1) integral_op_p@0)
  (bit_and integral_op_p@0 (bit_ior @1 (bit_not @0)))
  (bit_and (bit_ior @1 (bit_not @0)) integral_op_p@0)
</pre></div>

<p>Usual canonicalizations you know from GENERIC expressions are
applied before matching, so for example constant operands always
come second in commutative expressions.
</p>
<p>The second supported flag is <code>s</code> which tells the code
generator to fail the pattern if the expression marked with
<code>s</code> does have more than one use.  For example in
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">(simplify
  (pointer_plus (pointer_plus:s @0 @1) @3)
  (pointer_plus @0 (plus @1 @3)))
</pre></div>

<p>this avoids the association if <code>(pointer_plus @0 @1)</code> is
used outside of the matched expression and thus it would stay
live and not trivially removed by dead code elimination.
</p>
<p>More features exist to avoid too much repetition.
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">(for op (plus pointer_plus minus bit_ior bit_xor)
  (simplify
    (op @0 integer_zerop)
    @0))
</pre></div>

<p>A <code>for</code> expression can be used to repeat a pattern for each
operator specified, substituting <code>op</code>.  <code>for</code> can be
nested and a <code>for</code> can have multiple operators to iterate.
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">(for opa (plus minus)
     opb (minus plus)
  (for opc (plus minus)
    (simplify...
</pre></div>

<p>In this example the pattern will be repeated four times with
<code>opa, opb, opc</code> being <code>plus, minus, plus</code>,
<code>plus, minus, minus</code>, <code>minus, plus, plus</code>,
<code>minus, plus, minus</code>.
</p>
<p>To avoid repeating operator lists in <code>for</code> you can name
them via
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">(define_operator_list pmm plus minus mult)
</pre></div>

<p>and use them in <code>for</code> operator lists where they get expanded.
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">(for opa (pmm trunc_div)
 (simplify...
</pre></div>

<p>So this example iterates over <code>plus</code>, <code>minus</code>, <code>mult</code>
and <code>trunc_div</code>.
</p>
<p>Using operator lists can also remove the need to explicitely write
a <code>for</code>.  All operator list uses that appear in a <code>simplify</code>
or <code>match</code> pattern in operator positions will implicitely
be added to a new <code>for</code>.  For example
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">(define_operator_list SQRT BUILT_IN_SQRTF BUILT_IN_SQRT BUILT_IN_SQRTL)
(define_operator_list POW BUILT_IN_POWF BUILT_IN_POW BUILT_IN_POWL)
(simplify
 (SQRT (POW @0 @1))
 (POW (abs @0) (mult @1 { built_real (TREE_TYPE (@1), dconsthalf); })))
</pre></div>

<p>is the same as
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">(for SQRT (BUILT_IN_SQRTF BUILT_IN_SQRT BUILT_IN_SQRTL)
     POW (BUILT_IN_POWF BUILT_IN_POW BUILT_IN_POWL)
 (simplify
  (SQRT (POW @0 @1))
  (POW (abs @0) (mult @1 { built_real (TREE_TYPE (@1), dconsthalf); }))))
</pre></div>

<p><code>for</code>s and operator lists can include the special identifier
<code>null</code> that matches nothing and can never be generated.  This can
be used to pad an operator list so that it has a standard form,
even if there isn&rsquo;t a suitable operator for every form.
</p>
<p>Another building block are <code>with</code> expressions in the
result expression which nest the generated code in a new C block
followed by its argument:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">(simplify
 (convert (mult @0 @1))
 (with { tree utype = unsigned_type_for (type); }
  (convert (mult (convert:utype @0) (convert:utype @1)))))
</pre></div>

<p>This allows code nested in the <code>with</code> to refer to the declared
variables.  In the above case we use the feature to specify the
type of a generated expression with the <code>:type</code> syntax where
<code>type</code> needs to be an identifier that refers to the desired type.
Usually the types of the generated result expressions are
determined from the context, but sometimes like in the above case
it is required that you specify them explicitely.
</p>
<p>As intermediate conversions are often optional there is a way to
avoid the need to repeat patterns both with and without such
conversions.  Namely you can mark a conversion as being optional
with a <code>?</code>:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">(simplify
 (eq (convert@0 @1) (convert? @2))
 (eq @1 (convert @2)))
</pre></div>

<p>which will match both <code>(eq (convert @1) (convert @2))</code> and
<code>(eq (convert @1) @2)</code>.  The optional converts are supposed
to be all either present or not, thus
<code>(eq (convert? @1) (convert? @2))</code> will result in two
patterns only.  If you want to match all four combinations you
have access to two additional conditional converts as in
<code>(eq (convert1? @1) (convert2? @2))</code>.
</p>
<p>Predicates available from the GCC middle-end need to be made
available explicitely via <code>define_predicates</code>:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">(define_predicates
 integer_onep integer_zerop integer_all_onesp)
</pre></div>

<p>You can also define predicates using the pattern matching language
and the <code>match</code> form:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">(match negate_expr_p
 INTEGER_CST
 (if (TYPE_OVERFLOW_WRAPS (type)
      || may_negate_without_overflow_p (t))))
(match negate_expr_p
 (negate @0))
</pre></div>

<p>This shows that for <code>match</code> expressions there is <code>t</code>
available which captures the outermost expression (something
not possible in the <code>simplify</code> context).  As you can see
<code>match</code> has an identifier as first operand which is how
you refer to the predicate in patterns.  Multiple <code>match</code>
for the same identifier add additional cases where the predicate
matches.
</p>
<p>Predicates can also match an expression in which case you need
to provide a template specifying the identifier and where to
get its operands from:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">(match (logical_inverted_value @0)
 (eq @0 integer_zerop))
(match (logical_inverted_value @0)
 (bit_not truth_valued_p@0))
</pre></div>

<p>You can use the above predicate like
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">(simplify
 (bit_and @0 (logical_inverted_value @0))
 { build_zero_cst (type); })
</pre></div>

<p>Which will match a bitwise and of an operand with its logical
inverted value.
</p>
