[LLVMdev] Instruction categories in the backend

[Christian Sayer]

Dear all,

I would like to classify all target specific instructions in a set of categories. The category of each instruction would then be available in the backend.
Just to illustrate what I am trying to do, the first thing I thought about how to achieve this was to group instruction definitions in InstrInfo.td in the order of categories, and to put pseudo instructions in between to mark category boundaries.  However, the  Target Instruction Enum in GenInstrNames.inc does not follow the definition order of the .td, but is in fact ordered alphabetically.

Thanks for any suggestions!
Christian
