The generators are generally a bunch of Python if-then-else
statements based on the regtype and regid. Encapsulate regtype/regid
into a class hierarchy. Clients lookup the register and invoke
methods.
This has several advantages for making the code easier to read,
understand, and maintain
- The class name makes it more clear what the operand does
- All the methods for a given type of operand are together
- Don't need hex_common.bad_register
If a regtype/regid is missing, the lookup in hex_common.get_register
will fail
- We can remove the functions in hex_common that use regtype/regid
(e.g., is_read)
This patch creates the class hierarchy in hex_common and converts
gen_tcg_funcs.py. The other scripts will be converted in subsequent
patches in this series.
