Decoding
Decoding of instructions.
Instructions are encoded as specified in [ISA] and [ISAP],
and as formalized in encoding.
We define an executable decoder that maps the encodings of instructions
to the corresponding instruction fixtypes
defined in instructions.
Currently we only cover the decoding of
the instructions defined in instructions.
We only handle the normal encodings,
i.e. not the compressed ones in the C extension [ISA:26];
thus, our decoder operates on 32-bit encodings.
