Subject: [PATCH v3 7/8] Windows gdb: Implement AVX register support
Date: Sat, 29 Aug 2026 16:49:04 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260829145823.1034821-7-ssbssa@yahoo.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260829145823.1034821-1-ssbssa@yahoo.de>

This adds support for the Intel AVX registers on Windows.
It enables accessing registers $ymm0 - $ymm15 where they are available.

After this patch gdb.arch/i386-avx.exp passes on windows.
---
v3:
  - merged gdb+gdbserver parts, and split again AVX/AVX-512 parts
