Subject: [commit] Fix a zero-sized registers bug
Date: Mon, 26 Feb 2007 19:29:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070226192929.GA3023@caradoc.them.org> (raw)
A followon to the ARM iWMMXt patches, found during basic ARM testing.
If we do not add a special case for zero-sized registers, we'll get an
internal error during 'g' packet parsing - they appear to be past the
end of the 'g' packet, even though they occupy no bytes in it.
The right answer is to neither fetch nor store registers without
contents, of course. Anything else runs the risk of wasted 'p' / 'P'
packets going back and forth.
Tested on arm-linux and checked in.

* remote.c (init_remote_state): Add special handling for placeholder
registers.
