Subject: RE: machine instruction operands
I got interrupted and forgot to explain the example. In that case:
reg will be the 3rd operand of MUL and it will be of type
MO_MInstrVirtualReg. The field MachineInstr* minstr will point to the
instruction that computes reg.
numElements will be an immediate constant, not a register.
%sp will be operand 1 of ADD and it will be of type MO_MachineReg. The
field regNum identifies the register.
numElements will be operand 2 of ADD and it will be of type
MO_VMVirtualReg. The field Value* value identifies the value.
ptr will be operand 3 of ADD will also be %sp, i.e., of
type MO_MachineReg. regNum identifies the register.
