+/* Creates the files semantics.[hc].
+
+ The generated file semantics contains functions that implement the
+ operations required to model a single target processor instruction.
+
+ Several different variations on the semantics file can be created:
+
+ o uncached
+
+ No instruction cache exists. The semantic function
+ needs to generate any required values locally.
+
+ o cached - separate cracker and semantic
+
+ Two independant functions are created. Firstly the
+ function that cracks an instruction entering it into a
+ cache and secondly the semantic function propper that
+ uses the cache.
+
+ o cached - semantic + cracking semantic
+
+ The function that cracks the instruction and enters
+ all values into the cache also contains a copy of the
+ semantic code (avoiding the need to call both the
+ cracker and the semantic function when there is a
+ cache miss).
+
+ For each of these general forms, several refinements can occure:
+
+ o do/don't duplicate/expand semantic functions
+
+ As a consequence of decoding an instruction, the
+ decoder, as part of its table may have effectivly made
+ certain of the variable fields in an instruction
+ constant. Separate functions for each of the
+ alternative values for what would have been treated as
+ a variable part can be created.
+
+ o use cache struct directly.
+
+ When a cracking cache is present, the semantic
+ functions can be generated to either hold intermediate
+ cache values in local variables or always refer to the
+ contents of the cache directly. */
