9This document briefly describes which field of struct instruction is
10used by which operation.
11
12Some of those fields are used by almost all instructions,
13some others are specific to only one or a few instructions.
14The common ones are:
15
16* .src1, .src2, .src3: (pseudo_t) operands of binops or ternary ops.
17* .src: (pseudo_t) operand of unary ops (alias for .src1).
18* .target: (pseudo_t) result of unary, binary & ternary ops, is
19  sometimes used otherwise by some others instructions.
20* .cond: (pseudo_t) input operands for condition (alias .src/.src1)
21* .type: (symbol*) usually the type of .result, sometimes of the operands
