Subject: [PATCH 3/4] gdb/aarch64: Display fp8 formats in registers
Date: Thu, 25 Sep 2025 22:18:03 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250925211804.21967-4-Ezra.Sitorus@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250925211804.21967-1-Ezra.Sitorus@arm.com>
From: Ezra Sitorus <ezra.sitorus@arm.com>
Display fp8 formats for AArch64 vector/float registers. On a system
without SVE, the V register and B-pseudo registers have the new
e5m2/e4m3 formats. If it has SVE, then the Z registers, V and B pseudo
registers get the new e5m2/e4m3 formats.
