In the Arm Architecture Reference Manual, the instruction encoding diagrams use "sf" to distinguish the bit that selects 32- versus 64-bit registers in the data-processing instructions. What does "sf" stand for? For example, does it stand for "size flag"? Or "size field"?
Similarly, they use "hw" to show the shift amount of a 16-bit value. Does this stand for "half word"?
These acronyms are not defined in the glossary.
It really does matter whether 'sf' stands for 'size flag' or 'sixty-four', as long as it is clear that 'integer datasize = if sf == '1' then 64 else 32'
