[llvm-dev] Question about Decoding Conflict of DisassemblerTables from TableGen

[Hal Finkel via llvm-dev]

Hi JinGu,

You can use different DecoderNamespace values in order to separate out different conflict-free groups. For a simple example, look at how QPX disassembly is handled in the PowerPC backend.
