Refactor the TableGen'erated fixed length disassemblmer to use a
table-driven state machine rather than a massive set of nested
switch() statements.
As a result, the ARM Disassembler (ARMDisassembler.cpp) builds much more
quickly and generates a smaller end result. For a Release+Asserts build on
a 16GB 3.4GHz i7 iMac w/ SSD:
Time to compile at -O2 (averaged w/ hot caches):
Previous: 35.5s
New: 8.9s
TEXT size:
Previous: 447,251
New: 297,661
Builds in 25% of the time previously required and generates code 66% of
the size.
Execution time of the disassembler is only slightly slower (7% disassembling
10 million ARM instructions, 19.6s vs 21.0s). The new implementation has
not yet been tuned, however, so the performance should almost certainly
be recoverable should it become a concern.
