/*======================================================================*/
/*
 * Herein lies the support for dynamic specification of processor
 * instructions and registers.  Mnemonics, values, and formats for each
 * instruction and register are specified in an ascii file consisting of
 * table entries.  The grammar for the table is defined in the document
 * "Processor instruction table specification".
 *
 * Instructions use the gnu assembler syntax, with the addition of
 * allowing mnemonics for register.
 * Eg. "func $2,reg3,0x100,symbol ; comment"
 * 	func - opcode name
 * 	$n - register n
 * 	reg3 - mnemonic for processor's register defined in table
 * 	0xddd..d - immediate value
 * 	symbol - address of label or external symbol
 *
 * First, itbl_parse reads in the table of register and instruction
 * names and formats, and builds a list of entries for each
 * processor/type combination.  lex and yacc are used to parse
 * the entries in the table and call functions defined here to
 * add each entry to our list.
 *
 * Then, when assembling or disassembling, these functions are called to
 * 1) get information on a processor's registers and
 * 2) assemble/disassemble an instruction.
 * To assemble(disassemble) an instruction, the function
 * itbl_assemble(itbl_disassemble) is called to search the list of
 * instruction entries, and if a match is found, uses the format
 * described in the instruction entry structure to complete the action.
 *
 * Eg. Suppose we have a Mips coprocessor "cop3" with data register "d2"
 * and we want to define function "pig" which takes two operands.
 *
 * Given the table entries:
 * 	"p3 insn pig 0x1:24-21 dreg:20-16 immed:15-0"
 * 	"p3 dreg d2 0x2"
 * and that the instruction encoding for coprocessor pz has encoding:
 * 	#define MIPS_ENCODE_COP_NUM(z) ((0x21|(z<<1))<<25)
 * 	#define ITBL_ENCODE_PNUM(pnum) MIPS_ENCODE_COP_NUM(pnum)
 *
 * a structure to describe the instruction might look something like:
 *      struct itbl_entry = {
 *      e_processor processor = e_p3
 *      e_type type = e_insn
 *      char *name = "pig"
 *      uint value = 0x1
 *      uint flags = 0
 *      struct itbl_range range = 24-21
 *      struct itbl_field *field = {
 *              e_type type = e_dreg
 *              struct itbl_range range = 20-16
 *              struct itbl_field *next = {
 *                      e_type type = e_immed
 *                      struct itbl_range range = 15-0
 *                      struct itbl_field *next = 0
 *                      };
 *              };
 *      struct itbl_entry *next = 0
 *      };
 *
 * And the assembler instructions:
 * 	"pig d2,0x100"
 * 	"pig $2,0x100"
 *
 * would both assemble to the hex value:
 * 	"0x4e220100"
 *
