f408f0f0d7 [docs] TableGen easter egg: Multiline string literals
They're called code fragments, but they are really multiline string
literals. Just spotted this usage in a patch by Aaron using "code
fragments" for holding documentation text. I remember someone bemoaning
the lack of multiline string literals in TableGen, so I'm explicitly
documenting that code fragments are multiline string literals.

Let it be known that any use case needing multiline string literals in
TableGen (such as descriptions of options, or whatnot) can use use
code fragments (instead of C-style string concatenation or exceedingly
long lines). E.g.

    class Bar<int n>;
    class Baz<int n>;
    class Doc<string desc> {
        string Desc = desc;
    }
    def Foo : Bar<1>, Baz<3>, Doc<[{
    This Foo is a Bar, and also a Baz. It can take 3 values:
        * Qux
        * Quux
        * Quuux
    }]>;

4717fd4c0f Allow TableGen DAG arguments to be just a name.
DAG arguments can optionally be named:

  (dag node, node:$name)

With this change, the node is also optional:

  (dag node, node:$name, $name)

The missing node is treated as an UnsetInit, so the above is equivalent
to:

  (dag node, node:$name, ?:$name)

This syntax is useful in output patterns where we currently require the
types of variables to be repeated:

  def : Pat<(subc i32:$b, i32:$c), (SUBCCrr i32:$b, i32:$c)>;

This is preferable:

  def : Pat<(subc i32:$b, i32:$c), (SUBCCrr $b, $c)>;

f1f57c5c1a [docs] Fixup fallout from other grammar fixup.
My "excuse" for not refactoring the grammar here is to not diverge too
far from the grammar in the comments of TGParser.cpp, since I'm not
taking on the quest of majorly refactoring TGParser.cpp at the moment.

One benefit of doing this is that Ideas for refactoring and clarifying
the grammar in this document should translate almost immediately to
beneficial refactorings that can be made to TGParser.cpp.

d23a41c153 Add an addition operator to TableGen
This adds an !add(a, b) operator to tablegen; this will be used
to cleanup the PPC register definitions.

It's not just def's but actually a limited subset of Object's that are
allowed inside a multiclass.
