<p>This document is meant to be a normative spec about the TableGen language
in and of itself (i.e. how to understand a given construct in terms of how
it affects the final set of records represented by the TableGen file). If
you are unsure if this document is really what you are looking for, please
read the <a class="reference internal" href="index.html"><span class="doc">introduction to TableGen</span></a> first.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="notation">
<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id11">Notation</a><a class="headerlink" href="#notation" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>The lexical and syntax notation used here is intended to imitate
<a class="reference external" href="http://docs.python.org/py3k/reference/introduction.html#notation">Python’s</a>. In particular, for lexical definitions, the productions
operate at the character level and there is no implied whitespace between
elements. The syntax definitions operate at the token level, so there is
implied whitespace between tokens.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="lexical-analysis">
<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id12">Lexical Analysis</a><a class="headerlink" href="#lexical-analysis" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>TableGen supports BCPL (<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">//</span> <span class="pre">...</span></code>) and nestable C-style (<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/*</span> <span class="pre">...</span> <span class="pre">*/</span></code>)
comments. TableGen also provides simple <a class="reference internal" href="#preprocessing-support">Preprocessing Support</a>.</p>
<p>The following is a listing of the basic punctuation tokens:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>- + [ ] { } ( ) < > : ; . = ? #
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Numeric literals take one of the following forms:</p>
<pre>
<strong id="grammar-token-tokinteger">TokInteger </strong> ::= <a class="reference internal" href="#grammar-token-decimalinteger"><code class="xref docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">DecimalInteger</span></code></a> | <a class="reference internal" href="#grammar-token-hexinteger"><code class="xref docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">HexInteger</span></code></a> | <a class="reference internal" href="#grammar-token-bininteger"><code class="xref docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">BinInteger</span></code></a>
<strong id="grammar-token-decimalinteger">DecimalInteger</strong> ::= ["+" | "-"] ("0"..."9")+
<strong id="grammar-token-hexinteger">HexInteger </strong> ::= "0x" ("0"..."9" | "a"..."f" | "A"..."F")+
<strong id="grammar-token-bininteger">BinInteger </strong> ::= "0b" ("0" | "1")+
</pre>
<p>One aspect to note is that the <a class="reference internal" href="#grammar-token-decimalinteger"><code class="xref std std-token docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">DecimalInteger</span></code></a> token <em>includes</em> the
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">+</span></code> or <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-</span></code>, as opposed to having <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">+</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-</span></code> be unary operators as
most languages do.</p>
<p>Also note that <a class="reference internal" href="#grammar-token-bininteger"><code class="xref std std-token docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">BinInteger</span></code></a> creates a value of type <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">bits<n></span></code>
(where <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">n</span></code> is the number of bits). This will implicitly convert to
integers when needed.</p>
<p>TableGen has identifier-like tokens:</p>
<pre>
<strong id="grammar-token-ualpha">ualpha </strong> ::= "a"..."z" | "A"..."Z" | "_"
<strong id="grammar-token-tokidentifier">TokIdentifier</strong> ::= ("0"..."9")* <a class="reference internal" href="#grammar-token-ualpha"><code class="xref docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">ualpha</span></code></a> (<a class="reference internal" href="#grammar-token-ualpha"><code class="xref docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">ualpha</span></code></a> | "0"..."9")*
<strong id="grammar-token-tokvarname">TokVarName </strong> ::= "$" <a class="reference internal" href="#grammar-token-ualpha"><code class="xref docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">ualpha</span></code></a> (<a class="reference internal" href="#grammar-token-ualpha"><code class="xref docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">ualpha</span></code></a> | "0"..."9")*
</pre>
<p>Note that unlike most languages, TableGen allows <a class="reference internal" href="#grammar-token-tokidentifier"><code class="xref std std-token docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">TokIdentifier</span></code></a> to
begin with a number. In case of ambiguity, a token will be interpreted as a
numeric literal rather than an identifier.</p>
<p>TableGen also has two string-like literals:</p>
<pre>
<strong id="grammar-token-tokstring">TokString </strong> ::= '"' <non-'"' characters and C-like escapes> '"'
<strong id="grammar-token-tokcodefragment">TokCodeFragment</strong> ::= "[{" <shortest text not containing "}]"> "}]"
</pre>
<p><a class="reference internal" href="#grammar-token-tokcodefragment"><code class="xref std std-token docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">TokCodeFragment</span></code></a> is essentially a multiline string literal
delimited by <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">[{</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">}]</span></code>.</p>
<div class="admonition note">
<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
<p>The current implementation accepts the following C-like escapes:</p>
<div class="last highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>\\ \<span class="s1">' </span><span class="se">\"</span><span class="s1"> </span><span class="se">\t</span><span class="s1"> </span><span class="se">\n</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
</div>
<p>TableGen also has the following keywords:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">bit</span> <span class="n">bits</span> <span class="k">class</span> <span class="nc">code</span> <span class="n">dag</span>
<span class="k">def</span> <span class="nf">foreach</span> <span class="n">defm</span> <span class="n">field</span> <span class="ow">in</span>
<span class="nb">int</span> <span class="n">let</span> <span class="nb">list</span> <span class="n">multiclass</span> <span class="n">string</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>TableGen also has “bang operators” which have a
wide variety of meanings:</p>
<pre>
<strong id="grammar-token-bangoperator">BangOperator</strong> ::= one of
!eq !if !head !tail !con
!add !shl !sra !srl !and
!or !empty !subst !foreach !strconcat

<div class="section" id="syntax">
<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id13">Syntax</a><a class="headerlink" href="#syntax" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>TableGen has an <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">include</span></code> mechanism. It does not play a role in the

<p>A <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">class</span></code> declaration creates a record which other records can inherit
from. A class can be parametrized by a list of “template arguments”, whose
values can be used in the class body.</p>
<p>A given class can only be defined once. A <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">class</span></code> declaration is
considered to define the class if any of the following is true:</p>
<ol class="arabic simple">
<li>The <a class="reference internal" href="#grammar-token-templatearglist"><code class="xref std std-token docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">TemplateArgList</span></code></a> is present.</li>
<li>The <a class="reference internal" href="#grammar-token-body"><code class="xref std std-token docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Body</span></code></a> in the <a class="reference internal" href="#grammar-token-objectbody"><code class="xref std std-token docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">ObjectBody</span></code></a> is present and is not empty.</li>

</ol>
<p>You can declare an empty class by giving and empty <a class="reference internal" href="#grammar-token-templatearglist"><code class="xref std std-token docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">TemplateArgList</span></code></a>
and an empty <a class="reference internal" href="#grammar-token-objectbody"><code class="xref std std-token docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">ObjectBody</span></code></a>. This can serve as a restricted form of
forward declaration: note that records deriving from the forward-declared
class will inherit no fields from it since the record expansion is done
when the record is parsed.</p>
<p>Every class has an implicit template argument called <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">NAME</span></code>, which is set
to the name of the instantiating <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">def</span></code> or <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">defm</span></code>. The result is undefined
if the class is instantiated by an anonymous record.</p>

<p>The peculiar last form of <a class="reference internal" href="#grammar-token-rangepiece"><code class="xref std std-token docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">RangePiece</span></code></a> is due to the fact that the

instead of “1”, “-“, and “5”.
The <a class="reference internal" href="#grammar-token-rangelist"><code class="xref std std-token docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">RangeList</span></code></a> can be thought of as specifying “list slice” in some
