+/** \file arch/generic/vec_reg.hh
+ * Vector Registers layout specification.
+ *
+ * This register type is to be used to model the SIMD registers.
+ * It takes into account the possibility that different architectural names
+ * may overlap (like for ARMv8 AArch32 for example).
+ *
+ * The design is having a basic vector register container that holds the
+ * bytes, unaware of anything else. This is implemented by VecRegContainer.
+ * As the (maximum) length of the physical vector register is a compile-time
+ * constant, it is defined as a template parameter.
+ *
+ * This file also describes two views of the container that have semantic
+ * information about the bytes. The first of this views is VecRegT.
+ * A VecRegT is a view of a VecRegContainer (by reference). The VecRegT has
+ * a type (VecElem) to which bytes are casted, and the amount of such
+ * elements that the vector contains (NumElems). The size of a view,
+ * calculated as sizeof(VecElem) * NumElems must match the size of the
+ * underlying container. As VecRegT has some degree of type information it
+ * has vector semantics, and defines the index operator ([]) to get
+ * references to particular bytes understood as a VecElem.
+ * The second view of a container implemented in this file is VecLaneT, which
+ * is a view of a subset of the container.
+ * A VecLaneT is a view of a lane of a vector register, where a lane is
+ * identified by a type (VecElem) and an index (although the view is
+ * unaware of its index). Operations on the lane are directly applied to
+ * the corresponding bytes of the underlying VecRegContainer through a
+ * reference.
+ *
+ * The intended usage is requesting views to the VecRegContainer via the
+ * member 'as' for VecRegT and the member 'laneView' for VecLaneT. Kindly
+ * find an example of usage in the following.
+ *
+ *
+ * // We declare 512 bits vectors
+ * using Vec512 = VecRegContainer<64>;
+ * ...
+ * // We implement the physical vector register file
+ * Vec512 physicalVecRegFile[NUM_VREGS];
+ * ...
+ * // Usage example, for a macro op:
+ * VecFloat8Add(ExecContext* xd) {
+ * // Request source vector register to the execution context (const as it
+ * // is read only).
+ * const Vec512& vsrc1raw = xc->readVecRegOperand(this, 0);
+ * // View it as a vector of floats (we could just specify the first
+ * // template parametre, the second has a default value that works, and the
+ * // last one is derived by the constness of vsrc1raw).
+ * VecRegT<float, 8, true>& vsrc1 = vsrc1raw->as<float, 8>();
+ *
+ * // Second source and view
+ * const Vec512& vsrc2raw = xc->readVecRegOperand(this, 1);
+ * VecRegT<float, 8, true>& vsrc2 = vsrc2raw->as<float, 8>();
+ *
+ * // Destination and view
+ * Vec512 vdstraw;
+ * VecRegT<float, 8, false>& vdst = vdstraw->as<float, 8>();
+ *
+ * for (auto i = 0; i < 8; i++) {
+ * // This asignment sets the bits in the underlying Vec512: vdstraw
+ * vdst[i] = vsrc1[i] + vsrc2[i];
+ * }
+ * xc->setWriteRegOperand(this, 0, vdstraw);
+ * }
+ *
+ * // Usage example, for a micro op that operates over lane number _lidx:
+ * VecFloatLaneAdd(ExecContext* xd) {
+ * // Request source vector register to the execution context (const as it
+ * // is read only).
+ * const Vec512& vsrc1raw = xc->readVecRegOperand(this, 0);
+ * // View it as a lane of a vector of floats (we could just specify the
+ * // first template parametre, the second is derived by the constness of
+ * // vsrc1raw).
+ * VecLaneT<float, true>& src1 = vsrc1raw->laneView<float>(this->_lidx);
+ *
+ * // Second source and view
+ * const Vec512& vsrc2raw = xc->readVecRegOperand(this, 1);
+ * VecLaneT<float, true>& src2 = vsrc2raw->laneView<float>(this->_lidx);
+ *
+ * // (Writable) destination and view
+ * // As this is a partial write, we need the exec context to support that
+ * // through, e.g., 'readVecRegOperandToWrite' returning a writable
+ * // reference to the register
+ * Vec512 vdstraw = xc->readVecRegOperandToWrite(this, 3);
+ * VecLaneT<float, false>& dst = vdstraw->laneView<float>(this->_lidx);
+ *
+ * dst = src1 + src2;
+ * // There is no need to copy the value back into the exec context, as
+ * // the assignment to dst modifies the appropriate bytes in vdstraw which
+ * // is in turn, a reference to the register in the cpu model.
+ * // For operations that do conditional writeback, we can decouple the
+ * // write by doing:
+ * // auto tmp = src1 + src2;
+ * // if (test) {
+ * // dst = tmp; // do writeback
+ * // } else {
+ * // // do not do writeback
+ * // }
+ * }
+ *
