Hi Mike,
Thanks for quick response.

Yes but he no longer works for Mentor Graphics. We have been carrying  
this patch for some time in our internal branches. I just put it in  
latest code and tested it.

Regards,
Abid

it's probably a safe assumption you guys know a lot more about the powerpc ISA 
than myself.  i don't see anything wrong with the patch, so feel free to push 
it.

Thanks!

For the record, I also moved the original ChangeLog entry from
sim/ChangeLog to sim/ppc/ChangeLog.

It looks that isel was already supported in the simulator for the e500.  
The duplication caused the error that Joel observed. I will revert now  
with the following.

I have reverted locally, so it's not urgent for me. But it isn't
nice to leave something deliberately broken for too long. Do you
have an idea of what "some time" would mean? I'll leave the decision
of whether and when to revert to Mike, who is the sim maintainer.

Joel,
Thansk for lettting me know. If this is urgent for you then I can  
revert as it may take me some time to find a fix.

Another issue I noticed: The changeLog entry should be in sim/ppc/,
not sim/...

This patch causes the sim build to fail when configured with
--enable-sim-float=spe. The full configure command-line used was:

    % configure --disable-nls --disable-tui --without-zlib --prefix=/[...]/install --enable-sim --enable-sim-float=spe --without-python --with-libexpat-prefix=/[...]/libexpat --target=powerpc-eabispe

The error I get is:

    | ./igen   -E  -F 32,f,o,e500 -CSRI 1024 -N 5  \
    | [...]
    |         expanding ...
    |         -n icache.h
    |         -h 
    |         -c tmp-icache.h
    | gen-icache.c:66: assertion failed - entry->nr_insn == 1
    | make: *** [tmp-igen] Error 1

I am not familiar with this part of the code, so can you please fix
or revert?

Interestingly, no problem with --enable-sim-float=altivec.

Thank you.

[patch, sim] Add isel instruction

[Abid, Hafiz]

Hi,
This patch adds support for isel instruction in the ppc simulator.  
Tested manually by running a small assembly file through the simulator.  
Is this ok?

i don't really know anything about the ppc ISA, so i can't vet changes on that 
level.  the style looks OK i guess.
