The Mnemonic enum had one member per encoding form -- ADD_IMM, ADD_SR,
ADD_ER, ADD_V for what an assembler just calls ADD; LDR, LDR_LIT, LDR_PRE,
LDR_POST, LDR_REG, LDR_V for LDR; SVE_ADD_Z / SVE_ADD_PRED / SVE_AND_P for
names SVE spells ADD and AND. The encoder never needed that: like x86, it
already resolves a mnemonic by scanning its run of forms and matching
operand types, so the split bought nothing and cost a printer that had to
strip suffixes back off at runtime -- incompletely, so ADD_V printed
"add.v", LDR_PRE "ldr.pre" and FCVT_H_S "fcvt.h.s".
Collapse the enum to the names assemblers accept: 1104 -> 785 mnemonics,
with the variants becoming forms under one name (ADD now has 13, LDR 15).
LSLV/LSRV/ASRV/RORV fold into LSL/LSR/ASR/ROR. Form order within a run is
precedence, and the original declaration order is already the order an
assembler resolves: "add w0,w1,w2" takes the shifted-register form, and
only the extended form can encode SP.
This needed one structural change. The matcher was blind to addressing
mode -- `case .MEM: return op.kind == .MEMORY` -- which is precisely why
LDR/LDR_PRE/LDR_POST/LDR_REG had to be separate mnemonics; all 20 merge
collisions were this and nothing else. Split Operand_Type.MEM into
mode-specific types (MEM_OFFSET/PRE/POST/REG/EXT plus four SVE), matching
how W_REG/W_SHIFTED/W_EXTENDED are already distinct types over one
register class. The decoder derives Address_Mode from `enc`, so it is
unaffected.
Encodings are unchanged: the multiset of (ops, enc, bits, mask, feature,
flags) over all forms is identical before and after except for two entries
deliberately dropped. NOT_V_ALIAS duplicated NOT_V byte for byte, and
MOV_V_ALIAS was wrong -- it encoded VN where the ORR-based MOV alias needs
VN_VM_DUP, so "mov v1.8b, v2.8b" would have emitted "orr v1.8b, v2.8b,
v0.8b".
AMX_* keeps its prefix: Apple's coprocessor is undocumented with no
assembler spelling, so there is no canonical name to collapse to and bare
"set"/"clr"/"ldx" would mislead. The two-token system instructions keep
theirs too and print with a space (dc zva, tlbi vae1, bti j).
Verified: all 11 rexcode suites match HEAD exactly (arm64 461/461); the
three generator stages round-trip idempotently; 754 of 785 mnemonics are
accepted by llvm-mc, the rest being AMX (24), TME (4, no +tme in this LLVM
build), B_COND/BC_COND and TBL2; and a 39-case encode/print differential
against llvm-mc matches 34, with the 5 others confirmed byte-identical at
HEAD (pre-existing LSR/ASR immediate and LDP pre-index packing bugs, and
printer gaps for vector arrangements and MOVZ/MOVK shifts).
