// Class to check for a jump table sequence.
// This class should be used in preference to the hard encoding of jump table sequences
// because it allows for:
//      - instruction rescheduling
//      - intermingling the jump sequence with other instructions
//      - sequence variants
//
// For this class:
//   all instructions of the sequence are numbered starting from the last instruction.
//   The last instruction has the number 0.
//   The instruction before the last instruciton has the number 1, etc.
//   There is a virtual function jpiN() for each instruction of the sequence
//   These functions return true if 'insn' is filled with the required instruction
//
// The comparison is made in the match() function:
//
//   ea points to the last instruction of the sequence (instruction #0)
//
//   the 'depends' array contains dependencies between the instructions of the sequence.
//   For example:
//      ARM thumb LDRH switch
//      7 SUB     Ra, #minv (optional)
//      6 CMP     Ra, #size
//      5 BCS     defea
//      4 ADR     Rb, jt
//      3 ADD     Rb, Rb, Ra
//      2 LDRH    Rb, [Rb,Ra]
//      1 LSL     Rb, Rb, #1
//      0 ADD     PC, Rb
//   In this sequence, instruction #0 depends on the value of Rb which is produced
//   by the instruction #1. So, the instruction #0 depends on #1. Therefore, depends[0]
//   will contain '1' as its element.
//   The instruction #3 depends on 2 registers: Ra and Rb, or in other words,
//   it depends on the instructions #4 and #6. Therefore, depends[2] will contain { 4, 6 }
//   Maximum 4 dependencies per instruction are allowed.
//
//   FIXME
//   The 'roots' array contains the first instruction of the dependency chains.
//   In our case we can say that there are 2 dependency chains:
//      0 -> 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4
//                       -> 6 -> 7
//                     5 -> 6
//   Therefore the roots array will consist of {1, 5}.
//   0 denotes the end of the chain and cannot be the root of a dependency chain
//   Usually 1 is a root of any jump sequence.
//
//   The dependency array allows for checking for optimized sequences of instructions.
//   If 2 instructions are not dependent on each other, they may appear in any order.
//   (for example, the instruction #4 and the instruction sequence #5-6-7 may appear
//   in any order because they do not depend on each other)
//   Also any other instructions not modifying the register values may appear between
//   the instructions of the sequence (due to the instruction rescheduling performed
//   by the compiler).
//
//   Provision for optional instructions:
//   The presence of an optional instruction in the sequence (like #7) is signalled
//   by a negative number of the dependency in the 'depends' array.
//
//   Provision for variable instructions:
//   In some cases several variants of the same instructions may be supported.
//   For example, the instruction #5 might be BCS as well as BGE. It is the job of
//   the jpi5() function to check for all variants.
//
// In order to use the 'jump_pattern_t' class you should derive another class from it
// and define the jpiN() virtual functions.
// Then you have to define the 'depends' and 'roots' arrays and call the match()
// function.
// If you processor contains instructions who modify registers in peculiar ways
// you might want to override the check_spoiled() function.
