// This tablegen backend emits a target specifier matcher for converting parsed
// assembly operands in the MCInst structures.
//
// The input to the target specific matcher is a list of literal tokens and
// operands. The target specific parser should generally eliminate any syntax
// which is not relevant for matching; for example, comma tokens should have
// already been consumed and eliminated by the parser. Most instructions will
// end up with a single literal token (the instruction name) and some number of
// operands.
//
// Some example inputs, for X86:
// 'addl' (immediate ...) (register ...)
// 'add' (immediate ...) (memory ...)
