Detailed Description

The ExecContext is an abstract base class the provides the interface used by the ISA to manipulate the state of the CPU model.

Register accessor methods in this class typically provide the index of the instruction's operand (e.g., 0 or 1), not the architectural register index, to simplify the implementation of register renaming. The architectural register index can be found by indexing into the instruction's own operand index table.

Note
The methods in this class typically take a raw pointer to the StaticInst is provided instead of a ref-counted StaticInstPtr to reduce overhead as an argument. This is fine as long as the implementation doesn't copy the pointer into any long-term storage (which is pretty hard to imagine they would have reason to do).
