Re: Instruction bundling on IA64 and the Intel Assembler

Hmm, you are probably right.  Well, how about this?  Always print
"{.whatever" in the bundle_selector output template; then, whenever
bundling() goes to emit a bundle_selector, have it also look three
insns ahead and emit an "}" insn.

That sounds doable and would indeed be a good solution. I'll investigate this route more.

I think this will always be right, not interfere with labels and
 directives, and shouldn't require you to comprehend this problem
 function.

Yes, that would be a definite plus! However, my request still stands for more comments in this function. Vladimir, could you take care of that?

Also, it seems that it might help to break the function up in three
smaller functions:
  - the forward dynamic programming pass generating states
    and finding states with minimal cost (about 150 lines)
  - the backward pass adding nops and templates (about 125 lines)
  - the Itanium-1 specific stuff (about 75 lines)
