are defined as enumerations. Current bits include:
eEmulateInstructionOptionAutoAdvancePC
eEmulateInstructionOptionIgnoreConditions
Modified the EmulateInstruction class to have a few more pure virtuals that
can help clients understand how many instructions the emulator can handle:
virtual bool
SupportsEmulatingIntructionsOfType (InstructionType inst_type) = 0;
Where instruction types are defined as:
//------------------------------------------------------------------
/// Instruction types
//------------------------------------------------------------------
typedef enum InstructionType
{
eInstructionTypeAny, // Support for any instructions at all (at least one)
eInstructionTypePrologueEpilogue, // All prologue and epilogue instructons that push and pop register values and modify sp/fp
eInstructionTypePCModifying, // Any instruction that modifies the program counter/instruction pointer
eInstructionTypeAll // All instructions of any kind
} InstructionType;
This allows use to tell what an emulator can do and also allows us to request
these abilities when we are finding the plug-in interface.
Added the ability for an EmulateInstruction class to get the register names
for any registers that are part of the emulation. This helps with being able
to dump and log effectively.
The UnwindAssembly class now stores the architecture it was created with in
case it is needed later in the unwinding process.
Added a function that can tell us DWARF register names for ARM that goes
along with the source/Utility/ARM_DWARF_Registers.h file:
source/Utility/ARM_DWARF_Registers.c
Took some of plug-ins out of the lldb_private namespace.

The idea is that the instruction to be emulated is actually executed
on the hardware to be emulated, with the before and after state of the
hardware being captured and 'freeze-dried' into .dat files. The
emulation testing code then loads the before & after state from the
.dat file, emulates the instruction using the before state, and
compares the resulting state to the 'after' state. If they match, the
emulation is accurate, otherwise there is a problem.
The final format of the .dat files needs a bit more work; the plan is
to generalize them a bit and to convert the plain values to key-value pairs.
But I wanted to get this first pass committed.
This commit adds arm instruction emulation testing to the testsuite, along with
many initial .dat files.
It also fixes a bug in the llvm disassembler, where 32-bit thumb opcodes
were getting their upper & lower 16-bits reversed.
There is a new Instruction sub-class, that is intended to be loaded
from a .dat file rather than read from an executable. There is also a
new EmulationStateARM class, for handling the before & after states.
EmulationStates for other architetures can be added later when we
emulate their instructions.
