`Predicates` and `Features` fields serve the same purpose. They should
be kept in sync, but not all predicates are based on features. This
resulted in introducing dummy features for that only reason.
This patch removes `Features` field and changes TableGen emitters to use
`Predicates` instead.
Historically, predicates were written with the assumption that the
checking code will be used in `SelectionDAGISel` subclasses, meaning
they will have access to the subclass variables, such as `Subtarget`.
There are no such variables in the generated
`GenSubtargetInfo::getHwModeSet()`, so we need to provide them. This can
be achieved by subclassing `HwModePredicateProlog`, see an example in
`Hexagon.td`.
- Bail out of TableGen if any asserts fail before running the backend.
- Add asserts to validate that the `Objects` and `Modes` lists for
various `HwModeSelect` subclasses are of same length.
- Eliminate equivalent check in CodeGenHWModes.cpp
1. Bitwise operations are used to access HwMode, allowing for the
coexistence of HwMode IDs for different features (such as RegInfo and
EncodingInfo). This will provide better scalability for HwMode.
Currently, most users utilize HwMode primarily for configuring
Register-related information, and few use it for configuring Encoding.
The limited scalability of HwMode has been a significant factor in this
usage pattern.
2. Sink the HwMode Encodings selection logic down to per instruction
level, this makes the logic for choosing encodings clearer and provides
better error messages.
3. Add some HwMode ID conflict detection to the getHwMode() interface.
Refactor of the llvm-tblgen source into:
- a "Basic" library, which contains the bare minimum utilities to build
`llvm-min-tablegen`
- a "Common" library which contains all of the helpers for TableGen
backends. Such helpers can be shared by more than one backend, and even
unit tested (e.g. CodeExpander is, maybe we can add more over time)
