[PATCH] pseudo-register un-optimization

[Michael Snyder <msnyder@cygnus.com>]

 
2001-08-10  Michael Snyder  <msnyder@redhat.com>

	* regcache.c (legacy_write_register_gen): Don't 'optimize out'
	a write_register to a pseudo-reg.  Target_store_pseudo_register
	needs to get called, because these regs may be computed and may
	have side-effects.

You miised one CORE_ADDR in partial-stab.h. This patch seems to fix
my problem. Any comments?

Thanks.

	* partial-stab.h: valu should be a CORE_ADDR.

	* dbxread.c (SWAP_SYMBOL): Removed.
	(INTERNALIZE_SYMBOL): Check sign extended vma.
