instruction set. This code adds support for the VEX prefix
and for the YMM registers accessible on AVX-enabled
architectures. Instruction table support that enables AVX
instructions for the disassembler is in an upcoming patch.

incarnations), integrated into the MC framework.
The disassembler is table-driven, using a custom TableGen backend to
generate hierarchical tables optimized for fast decode. The disassembler
consumes MemoryObjects and produces arrays of MCInsts, adhering to the
abstract base class MCDisassembler (llvm/MC/MCDisassembler.h).
The disassembler is documented in detail in
- lib/Target/X86/Disassembler/X86Disassembler.cpp (disassembler runtime)
- utils/TableGen/DisassemblerEmitter.cpp (table emitter)
You can test the disassembler by running llvm-mc -disassemble for i386
or x86_64 targets. Please let me know if you encounter any problems
with it.
