With this, we can have the function return a value from the DisasContext.

Could you also update the documentation in docs/devel/decodetree.rst ?

This code change looks like it also now allows definitions
of fields that specify nothing at all (ie there's no check
that a field definition with no "unnamed_field" parts has
a !function specifier) -- what do they do, or should they
be made syntax errors ?

Is one of these functions which just returns a constant
from no input bits still a "static int func(DisasContext *s, int x)"
taking a pointless input argument, or is it now a
"static int func(DisasContext *s)" ? I guess from the fact
this code doesn't change the way a call is output that it
is the former, but would the latter be cleaner ?
(This would probably be implemented something like allowing
FunctionField to be passed a base == None instead of
allowing MultiFields with len(subs) == 0.)

thanks

Ah good point.  Should be syntax errors.

Right on both counts.  Because of how the loop in MultiField is set up, x will
always be given 0.  I'll see about cleaning this up.

In the meantime, fyi, this is used for setting the S bit for thumb1 insns,
where S=0 iff the insn is within an IT block.
