+code generator into target-specific machine instructions. There are several
+well-known ways to do this in the literature. LLVM have three types of
+instruction selector. 1. SelectionDAG 2. FastIsel 3. GlobalIsel
+FastIsel is the default instruction selector for X86 target. GlobalIsel is
+intended to be a replacement of SelectionDAG and FastIsel.
Portions of the DAG instruction selector are generated from the target
description (``*.td``) files. Our goal is for the entire instruction selector
