Hi,

As discussed in https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2014-09/msg01334.html
The construct

   (clobber (match_scratch 0 "r"))

is invalid - operand 0 must be marked either write or read/write.

Likewise

   (match_* 0 "&r")

is invalid, marking an operand earlyclobber does not remove the need to
also mark it write or read/write.

This patch adds checking for these two error conditions to the generator
programs and documents the restriction.

Bootstrapped on x86, ARM and AArch64 with no new issues.

Ok?

Thanks,
James

        * doc/md.texi (Modifiers): Consistently use "read/write"
        nomenclature rather than "input/output".
        * genrecog.c (constraints_supported_in_insn_p): New.
        (validate_pattern): If needed, also check constraints on
        MATCH_SCRATCH operands.
        * genoutput.c (validate_insn_alternatives): Catch earlyclobber
        operands with no '=' or '+' modifier.

+           if (c == '=' || c == '+')
+             seen_inout = true;

Isn't "seen_input" poorly named here? ISTM what we're checking for is if we've seen an operand that will be written to.

Doesn't it make sense to use read/write nomenclature in the comments and variable names too?

So with those nits fixed, this patch is OK.
