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