20.7 Operand Constraints

Each match_operand in an instruction pattern can specify a constraint for the type of operands allowed. Constraints can say whether an operand may be in a register, and which kinds of register; whether the operand can be a memory reference, and which kinds of address; whether the operand may be an immediate constant, and which possible values it may have. Constraints can also require two operands to match.

20.7.3 Register Class Preferences		Constraints guide which hard register to put things in.
20.7.4 Constraint Modifier Characters		More precise control over effects of constraints.
20.7.5 Constraints for Particular Machines		Existing constraints for some particular machines.
