I would recommend one in gdb.arch (and maybe a NEWS > entry too). I could work on providing a test case for this feature to be included on the GDB testsuite, as soon as i get familiar with the syntax. About the instruction bits problem. Should i just literally assign a decimal number to the variable (16 in this case) or is it preferred to do a shift based on the hex value? Thanks! Luis
