Having made some changes to the Alpha decoder, I decided to make the same changes to the ARM decoder to move my target there. The wiki talks about bitfield definitions as being in the .isa files and everything was straight forward in Alpha.
However, the ARM code does something completely different by putting the actual definitions of the bit fields in types.hh. Since types.hh isn't mentioned on the wiki it took me some probing to try to figure out how the decoder was figuring out those values. So my question is: is there a preferred way of doing it one way or the other? Should I add a note on the wiki about types.hh being a place to look for bitfield information?
