//
// This file defines MCInstPredicate classes and its subclasses.
//
// MCInstPredicate is used to describe constraints on the opcode/operand(s) of
// an instruction. Each MCInstPredicate class has a well-known semantic, and it
// is used by a PredicateExpander to generate code for MachineInstr and/or
// MCInst.
//
// MCInstPredicate definitions can be used to construct MCSchedPredicate
// definitions. An MCSchedPredicate can be used in place of a SchedPredicate
// when defining SchedReadVariant and SchedWriteVariant used by a processor
// scheduling model.
//
// Here is an example of MCInstPredicate definition:
//
// def MCInstPredicateExample : CheckAll<[
//    CheckOpcode<[BLR]>,
//    CheckIsRegOperand<0>,
//    CheckNot<CheckRegOperand<0, LR>>]>;
//
// Predicate `MCInstPredicateExample` checks that the machine instruction in
// input is a BLR, and that operand at index 0 is register `LR`.
//
// That predicate could be used to rewrite the following definition (from
// AArch64SchedExynosM3.td):
//
// def M3BranchLinkFastPred  : SchedPredicate<[{
//    MI->getOpcode() == AArch64::BLR &&
//    MI->getOperand(0).isReg() &&
//    MI->getOperand(0).getReg() != AArch64::LR}]>;
//
// MCInstPredicate definitions are used to construct MCSchedPredicate (see the
// definition of class MCSchedPredicate in llvm/Target/TargetSchedule.td).  An
// MCSchedPredicate can be used by a `SchedVar` to associate a predicate with a
// list of SchedReadWrites. Note that `SchedVar` are used to create SchedVariant
// definitions.
//
// Each MCInstPredicate class has a well known semantic. For example,
// `CheckOpcode` is only used to check the instruction opcode value.
//
// MCInstPredicate classes allow the definition of predicates in a declarative
// way.  These predicates don't require a custom block of C++, and can be used
// to define conditions on instructions without being bound to a particular
// representation (i.e. MachineInstr vs MCInst).
//
// It also means that tablegen backends must know how to parse and expand them
// into code that works on MCInst (or MachineInst).
//
// Instances of class PredicateExpander (see utils/Tablegen/PredicateExpander.h)
// know how to expand a predicate. For each MCInstPredicate class, there must be
// an "expand" method available in the PredicateExpander interface.
//
// For example, a `CheckOpcode` predicate is expanded using method
// `PredicateExpander::expandCheckOpcode()`.
//
// New MCInstPredicate classes must be added to this file. For each new class
// XYZ, an "expandXYZ" method must be added to the PredicateExpander.
