[llvm-dev] TableGen terminology

[Paul C. Anagnostopoulos via llvm-dev]

Folks,

I'd like to get involved with LLVM and I'm thinking of doing a little editing of the TableGen documents. After reading the Introduction and Reference documents, I see that there is no consistent term for the fields of the records that TableGen creates. They are referred to as fields, values, definitions, etc.

I propose to make this consistent with the term "field." Is that the best choice? Other possibilities are "slot" and "item." I think it's clear that "value" and "definition" are confusing.
