I dug up this:

http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/man5/ap.5.html

and I looked at the file knowing approximately what kind of problem it solves.
Still the file is huge and I don't think I can debug the code just by looking
at it. I just wonder how many 'I' records it has. Shouldn't it be like 3
instances? Or is this because each bit slice counts?

I pulled your changes and did only

  make clean
  make lvx
  cgt --script=doAlu16

Still I got exactly the same error as before. And the picture is just a quarter
of the 'make view' picture size.
