Re: Can't set architecture to m32c on m32c-elf-gdb.

Hello DJ,

Hmm, it's possible a matter of degree...

Talking about that cpu-m32c.c.
In case you try to support R32C target, where target_info for R32C should be placed in?
There are two strategy.
One is to create cpu-r32c.c, The another is to append to cpu-m32c.c

I have no objection about Nick's patch in case we will adopt the former.
But I think it's better the latter since Renesas regards R32C as M16C family.
