The old sh simulator is legendary, in some circles for, probably, all the wrong reaons. Still two questions. Firstly, GDB already has an SH simululator that can be used to generate a sh1, sh2, sh3, sh3e, sh4 and sh-dsp (but only one at a time). Does this new simulator cover that set or only a subset? i.e. is it a drop in replacement? Secondly, the MIPS, mn10300, d10v and other IGEN simulators support more than one cpu variant (can't use ISA - see binutils list :-/). How does this simulator go in this regard? > I have already made the requisite changes to the FSF master copy of > config.sub. Shall I import the latest version? Anyone can do that anytime. See src/MAINTAINERS for the process. enjoy, Andrew
