In md.texi it says: Predicates written with @code{define_special_predicate} do not get any automatic mode checks, and are treated as having special mode handling by @command{genrecog}.
However, in genrecog, when validating a SET pattern, if either the source or destination is missing a mode then a warning is given, even if there's a predicate defined with define_special_predicate. This commit silences the warning for special predicates. gcc/ChangeLog: * genrecog.c (validate_pattern): Don't warn about missing mode for define_special_predicate predicates.
