Three unrelated things the A32 sweep turned up, all of them in what an
instruction prints rather than what it encodes.
VTBL and VTBX read their table from a run of one to four D registers,
and the run length is a fixed pattern bit of the form rather than
something the operand encodes. They printed a bare `d0`, which is not
the syntax -- the table is a list even when it holds one register. The
length now rides in the operand encoding, the way the NEON
structure-list lengths already do, and the encoder checks it, so
`{d0}` and `{d0, d1}` select different forms instead of both landing on
whichever sorted first.
The NEON compare-with-zero forms and VCMP/VCMPE against zero take a
literal `#0` that no field encodes. Modelling it as an implicit operand
is enough for it to print; nothing is emitted for it.
VCMP left bit 7 out of its mask. That bit is the E, which is the only
thing separating VCMP from VCMPE, so VCMP matched both and VCMPE could
never be decoded at all.
Also: VPUSH and VPOP take no data type, but the printer's fallback
guessed one from the register bank whenever the table gave none, and
produced `vpop.f64 {d0}`. A leading register list now suppresses it --
the load/store-multiple forms are exactly the ones that lead with a
list.

The Odin Programming Language
Odin is a general-purpose programming language with distinct typing, built for high performance, modern systems, and built-in data-oriented data types. The Odin Programming Language, the C alternative for the joy of programming.
