Sorry, what I ment to say was that the change adds ``mipsV'' yet nothing else explains this. If nothing else it is most likely a separate change.

Several more generic comments. tm-cris.h: I'm trying to figure out why it is needed. The obvious problem is SOFTWARE_SINGLESTEP_P. I'll fix that. Beyond that one, what else is needed? I'd like to see a second pure multi-arch target in GDB so will help where needed. cris-tdep.c: It is preferable to have enums and two line functions rather than macros. They both make the long term job of maintenance far easier. Other files have put __initialize* and xxx_arch_init() at the end. I'd just suggest moving them. Other than that, absolutly nothing has jumped up and even the above are not problems. cool! Andrew >From cgd@sibyte.com Mon Dec 04 17:25:00 2000 From: cgd@sibyte.com (Chris G.

OK. Having worked in the other tools, my inclination was stepwise refinement. We can certainly do this if you are so inclined. Would you prefer: (a) 1 patch which adds MIPS V, MIPS32, and MIPS64 at once, or (b) 1 patch for each. I think if the goal is to do "one patch that just does it," I'd prefer the former, because it means a lot less duplication of effort. > o I'd like to be sure that the information > being committed is, one way, or another > public. > > Instruction set simulators include a semantic > specification of each instruction.

There is some public documentation on MIPS32, as part of the MIPS32 4K core documentation available on: http://www.mips.com/publications/index.html For the rest, yes, we've done the due process. 8-) > "Chris G.

If nothing else it is most likely a separate change. Oh, I'm sorry. I thought i'd mentioned it in my ChangLog, along with the mips32 and mips64 entries, but I guess I didn't. It's another ISA, like MIPS I - MIPS IV. (It incorporates all of MIPS IV and adds on to it.) If i recall correctly, its main addition is Paired Single floating point operations, but it's been a while since I've checked. chris >From hans-peter.nilsson@axis.com Mon Dec 04 17:57:00 2000 From: Hans-Peter Nilsson To: ac131313@cygnus.com Cc: orjan.friberg@axis.com, gdb-patches@sources.redhat.com, jimb@cygnus.com Subject: Re: New port: CRIS architecture Date: Mon, 04 Dec 2000 17:57:00 -0000 Message-id: <200012050156.CAA03951@ignucius.axis.se> References: <3A2C3AC7.9F7F454F@cygnus.com> X-SW-Source: 2000-12/msg00100.html Content-length: 323 > Date: Tue, 05 Dec 2000 11:45:59 +1100 > From: Andrew Cagney > I can't find an assignment in place?

The theory is that the script is already being passed something it can use. There's the -cpu argument. I dunno if your @prefix@ patches change whether genmloop.sh should use @cpu@ or @prefix@, but won't one of them (whichever it is) be sufficient to separate the output files? >From msnyder@cygnus.com Mon Dec 04 19:15:00 2000 From: Michael Snyder To: gdb-patches@sources.redhat.com Subject: [PATCH] Fix typo in error msg.

The same could be said for determining the input filename (ie. mloop.in), but we provide the flexibility to specify *that*. There is even a comment in genmloop.sh that says that it would be useful to provide options to specify the output filenames (both of them) in the future. Ben
