In the past, it was extremely painful to modify (or create a cpu descriptio= n), because the error recovery didn't do a very good job of reporting the a= ctual issues. I'm doing a new machine description and the error handling i= s AWESOME. It really increases my productivity and I no longer have to comment out gre= at chunks of the cpu file to try and isolate my mistakes.
