Here we introduce flags on match expressions. There used flag
above, @code{c}, denotes that the expression should
be also matched commutated. Thus the above match expression
is really the following four match expressions:
@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)
@end smallexample
Usual canonicalizations you know from GENERIC expressions are
applied before matching, so for example constant operands always
come second in commutative expressions.
The second supported flag is @code{s} which tells the code
generator to fail the pattern if the expression marked with
@code{s} does have more than one use. For example in
@smallexample
(simplify
(pointer_plus (pointer_plus:s @@0 @@1) @@3)
(pointer_plus @@0 (plus @@1 @@3)))
@end smallexample
this avoids the association if @code{(pointer_plus @@0 @@1)} is
used outside of the matched expression and thus it would stay
live and not trivially removed by dead code elimination.
More features exist to avoid too much repetition.

which will match both @code{(eq (convert @@1) (convert @@2))} and
@code{(eq (convert @@1) @@2)}. The optional converts are supposed
to be all either present or not, thus

Predicates available from the GCC middle-end need to be made
available explicitely via @code{define_predicates}:
