Sorry, that wasn’t accurate.

With guessInstructionProperties=0, Tablegen will refuse to invent flags out of thin air for instructions that have neither patterns nor explicit flags. It will still infer flags for instructions with patterns and no explicit flags.

It will always complain when flags inferred from patterns are inconsistent with explicit flags.
