ARM: Modified immediate assembly syntax (again?)

[Asiri Rathnayake]

Hi Tim,

 

Sometime back there was a lot of debate about how to support the
modified-immediate syntax [1, 2]. I'm assessing the possibility of
re-opening this issue, and wondering why you abandoned the approach sketched
in [3]?

 

My grasp of the MC codebase is a bit primitive, but it looks like we can
shield the layers above MC with the approach suggested by Kristof in [4] and
get rid of the ri form of MCInst (thus removing the duplication). Is this a
fair assessment? I'm hoping to pursue a patch in this direction.

 

Please let me know what you think.

 

Best,

 

- Asiri
