[LLVMdev] TSFlags in AsmBackend

[Steve King]

Thanks, Francois.  Your answer was very helpful and worked fine.
After some experimenting, I wrapped your approach inside a XMCInst()
class defined like so:

namespace llvm {
  class XMCInst : public MCInst {
  public:
    const MCInstrDesc& getInstrDesc() const;
  };
}

Now, anywhere I have an MCInst I can static_cast to XMCInst and get
the MCInstrDesc.

Best Regards,
-steve
