Subject: RE: machine instruction operands

I got interrupted and forgot to explain the example.  In that case:

        reg will be the 3rd operand of MUL and it will be of type
MO_MInstrVirtualReg.  The field MachineInstr* minstr will point to the
instruction that computes reg.

        numElements will be an immediate constant, not a register.

        %sp will be operand 1 of ADD and it will be of type MO_MachineReg.  The
field regNum identifies the register.

        numElements will be operand 2 of ADD and it will be of type
MO_VMVirtualReg.  The field Value* value identifies the value.

        ptr will be operand 3 of ADD will also be %sp, i.e., of
        type MO_MachineReg. regNum identifies the register.
