Description

It would be very convenient and useful to have aliases for arrays of regs. The example follows.

reg GPR [32, DWORD]
reg X [32, DWORD] alias = GPR // expected
reg W [32, WORD] alias = GPR // expected

Examples:

The structure reg Y [N, T] alias = X [MIN..MAX] allows interpreting a part of the X array from MIN to MAX as an array of type T that includes N items.
Precondition: sizeof(Type of array X) must be divisible to sizeof(T).

reg GPR   [32,  WORD]
reg GPRS1 [2,  SHORT] alias = GPR         // Interpret GPR[0] as an array of 2 SHORTs
reg GPRS2 [64, SHORT] alias = GPR[0..31]  // Interpret GPR (entire) as an array of 64 SHORTs
reg GPRS3 [32, SHORT] alias = GPR[16..31] // Interpret the second half of GPR as an array of 32 SHORTs
