Thanks. That makes sense to me.

The main problem is that calling LegalizerHelper methods from LegalizerInfo without some kind of indirection (like the LegalizerAction enum provides) is tricky. We're currently cheating a bit with custom rules as their implementation is in the LegalizerInfo which was meant to describe what needs to happen, rather than exactly how to do it.

I have been going through the documents and tutorials of GISel and I thought to list out the updates that should be made. It would be very helpful if anyone wants to add anything to the list or if they think something needs to be updated or added in the documentation.

Most of the instructions also need documentation on the type constraints (e.g. G_ADD only has one type and all three operands must agree on it, also G_PTR_ADD's first type must be a pointer), and any limitations on the types (e.g. G_MERGE_VALUES result must have the same number of bits as the sum of the operand sizes).
