25/// X86 Disassembler Emitter
26///
27/// *** IF YOU'RE HERE TO RESOLVE A "Primary decode conflict", LOOK DOWN NEAR
28///     THE END OF THIS COMMENT!
29///
30/// The X86 disassembler emitter is part of the X86 Disassembler, which is
31/// documented in lib/Target/X86/X86Disassembler.h.
32///
33/// The emitter produces the tables that the disassembler uses to translate
34/// instructions.  The emitter generates the following tables:
35///
36/// - One table (CONTEXTS_SYM) that contains a mapping of attribute masks to
37///   instruction contexts.  Although for each attribute there are cases where
38///   that attribute determines decoding, in the majority of cases decoding is
39///   the same whether or not an attribute is present.  For example, a 64-bit
40///   instruction with an OPSIZE prefix and an XS prefix decodes the same way in
41///   all cases as a 64-bit instruction with only OPSIZE set.  (The XS prefix
42///   may have effects on its execution, but does not change the instruction
43///   returned.)  This allows considerable space savings in other tables.
44/// - Six tables (ONEBYTE_SYM, TWOBYTE_SYM, THREEBYTE38_SYM, THREEBYTE3A_SYM,
45///   THREEBYTEA6_SYM, and THREEBYTEA7_SYM contain the hierarchy that the
46///   decoder traverses while decoding an instruction.  At the lowest level of
47///   this hierarchy are instruction UIDs, 16-bit integers that can be used to
48///   uniquely identify the instruction and correspond exactly to its position
49///   in the list of CodeGenInstructions for the target.
50/// - One table (INSTRUCTIONS_SYM) contains information about the operands of
51///   each instruction and how to decode them.
52///
53/// During table generation, there may be conflicts between instructions that
54/// occupy the same space in the decode tables.  These conflicts are resolved as
55/// follows in setTableFields() (X86DisassemblerTables.cpp)
56///
57/// - If the current context is the native context for one of the instructions
58///   (that is, the attributes specified for it in the LLVM tables specify
59///   precisely the current context), then it has priority.
60/// - If the current context isn't native for either of the instructions, then
61///   the higher-priority context wins (that is, the one that is more specific).
62///   That hierarchy is determined by outranks() (X86DisassemblerTables.cpp)
63/// - If the current context is native for both instructions, then the table
64///   emitter reports a conflict and dies.
65///
66/// *** RESOLUTION FOR "Primary decode conflict"S
67///
68/// If two instructions collide, typically the solution is (in order of
69/// likelihood):
70///
71/// (1) to filter out one of the instructions by editing filter()
72///     (X86RecognizableInstr.cpp).  This is the most common resolution, but
73///     check the Intel manuals first to make sure that (2) and (3) are not the
74///     problem.
75/// (2) to fix the tables (X86.td and its subsidiaries) so the opcodes are
76///     accurate.  Sometimes they are not.
77/// (3) to fix the tables to reflect the actual context (for example, required
78///     prefixes), and possibly to add a new context by editing
79///     lib/Target/X86/X86DisassemblerDecoderCommon.h.  This is unlikely to be
80///     the cause.
81///
82/// DisassemblerEmitter.cpp contains the implementation for the emitter,
83///   which simply pulls out instructions from the CodeGenTarget and pushes them
84///   into X86DisassemblerTables.
85/// X86DisassemblerTables.h contains the interface for the instruction tables,
86///   which manage and emit the structures discussed above.
87/// X86DisassemblerTables.cpp contains the implementation for the instruction
88///   tables.
89/// X86ModRMFilters.h contains filters that can be used to determine which
90///   ModR/M values are valid for a particular instruction.  These are used to
91///   populate ModRMDecisions.
92/// X86RecognizableInstr.h contains the interface for a single instruction,
93///   which knows how to translate itself from a CodeGenInstruction and provide
94///   the information necessary for integration into the tables.
95/// X86RecognizableInstr.cpp contains the implementation for a single
96///   instruction.
