Information about the instruction that writes to a register, from the perspective of our particular constraints here

This is conceptually similar to storing the last super::Instruction that wrote to a register, but HashX sometimes needs information for constraints which won’t end up in the final Instruction.

We’ve chosen the encoding to minimize the code size in writer_pair_allowed. Most pairwise comparisons can just be a register equality test.

The instructions here fall into three categories which use their own format for encoding arguments:

• Wide Multiply, extra u32

  UMulH and SMulH use an additional otherwise unused 32-bit value from the Rng when considering writer collisions.

  As far as I can tell this is a bug in the original implementation but we can’t change the behavior without breaking compatibility.

  The collisions are rare enough not to be a worthwhile addition to ASIC-resistance. It seems like this was a vestigial feature left over from immediate value matching features which were removed during the development of HashX, but I can’t be sure.

• Constant source

  Only considers the opcode itself, not the specific immediate value.

• Register source

  Considers the source register, collapses add/subtract into one op.
