There's still a TON of work to be done before the documentation
is usable to more than just the maintainers of the port,
and what's there now may only be of MARGINAL use to port maintainers.
If one doesn't have access to a real reference manual and one wants to look
at the layout of a particular instruction, what's there now is potentially
useful. One obviously has to keep in mind that what's there isn't
authoritative.
Anyways I'm at a needed stopping point, so fyi ...
If you check the bottom of the cgen home page http://sources.redhat.com/cgen/
you'll see links to documentation generated from the cpu files.
Feedback is certainly welcome.

It looks good. Of course, what I was expecting was a nice tabular
layout of bit patterns for instructions, but I'm sure you've thought
of that already.
Cheers, Ben

Can you be more specific?

Well, for each instruction, draw a box, partition it by the defined
ifields and label them with their names and bit ranges.

That's what's done now. I'm only using html tables so
perhaps the result can be prettier.
Are you seeing something different?
btw, I think either the bottom row should print numbers in binary
or perhaps even better would be to print another row with the constant
values in binary.

Ah -- sorry, I overlooked that. It's not bad.

Agreed.
