Subject: Request for 8.2, SVE cores && adding SVE to NEWS file etc
Date: Wed, 15 Aug 2018 09:31:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <BB8CBC76-B347-43D9-9042-110598C87048@arm.com> (raw)

Wasn’t sure if this was the best place to ask.

1) Is 8.2 still open to new functionality? It’d be really useful to have core support for Aarch64 SVE in 8.2
(Given SVE is supported in 8.2, I guess you could argue it’s a bug fix :). )
Currently in 8.2, GDB will just ignore the SVE parts of a core file.

The four commits are:
(Earliest patch is obv, second is a mechanical change across many files, the final two are aarch64 only)

0c76e06d5c   2 days ago Alan Hayward    Parse SVE registers in aarch64 core file reading/writing
b7fd65b9dc   2 days ago Alan Hayward    Detect SVE when reading aarch64 core files
a616bb9450   2 days ago Alan Hayward    Split size in regset section iterators
dbd534fee4   5 days ago Alan Hayward    Rename size in get_core_register_sectio


2) I’ve spotted that Aarch64 SVE support should probably be mentioned in the NEWS file.
Are there any other documentation type files that need updating alongside?


Thanks,
Alan.
