  21 /* Creates the files semantics.[hc].
  22
  23    The generated file semantics contains functions that implement the
  24    operations required to model a single target processor instruction.
  25
  26    Several different variations on the semantics file can be created:
  27
  28         o       uncached
  29
  30                 No instruction cache exists.  The semantic function
  31                 needs to generate any required values locally.
  32
  33         o       cached - separate cracker and semantic
  34
  35                 Two independent functions are created.  Firstly the
  36                 function that cracks an instruction entering it into a
  37                 cache and secondly the semantic function proper that
  38                 uses the cache.
  39
  40         o       cached - semantic + cracking semantic
  41
  42                 The function that cracks the instruction and enters
  43                 all values into the cache also contains a copy of the
  44                 semantic code (avoiding the need to call both the
  45                 cracker and the semantic function when there is a
  46                 cache miss).
  47
  48    For each of these general forms, several refinements can occure:
  49
  50         o       do/don't duplicate/expand semantic functions
  51
  52                 As a consequence of decoding an instruction, the
  53                 decoder, as part of its table may have effectivly made
  54                 certain of the variable fields in an instruction
  55                 constant. Separate functions for each of the
  56                 alternative values for what would have been treated as
  57                 a variable part can be created.
  58
  59         o       use cache struct directly.
  60
  61                 When a cracking cache is present, the semantic
  62                 functions can be generated to either hold intermediate
  63                 cache values in local variables or always refer to the
  64                 contents of the cache directly. */
