thanks,There is a macro LEGITIMIZE_RELOAD_ADDRESS.Accroding to gcc internals
"It is a C compound statement that attempts to replace x, which is an
address that needs
reloading, with a valid memory address for an operand of mode mode.
win will be a
C statement label elsewhere in the code".

I'm not been able to comprehend this macro.The explaination is saying
that it tries to replace the address with some suitable address.But
when will such a situation occur,any example will  be helpful.And what
is reloading pass.According to gcc internals in this pass
pseudo-registers  are replaced with hard registers and some are
assigned stack slots.Is there anything else which happens in this
phase.Is above mentioned macro also has something to do with pass.

thanks,
shahzad

Well, this works for MIPS (though I suppose you might want to check
that), so if you just copy the MIPS files, then this should work for
your target.  So if it doesn't work, then you either didn't just copy
the files, or you didn't update config.gcc correctly.  We can't really
help you with this.

They are used to build libgcc, the gcc support library.
