It isn't necessary, just like register convertible and register raw/virtual size; .... that go before it, also were not necessary. And now all these years later, GDB is still yet to expunge. Until someone does the right think - add support for values scattered across registers and memory - hacks should be confined to architecture specific code. Andrew
