gdb 7.5.1: broken powerpc disassemble initialization

[Udma Catalin-Dan-B32721 <B32721@freescale.com>]

Hi,

I found the powerpc disassemble initialization issue introduced in gdb 7.5.1. Everything seems correctly for previous gdb versions.
What was changed in gdb 7.5.1:

In opcodes/ppc-dis.c has been added the function disassemble_init_powerpc. At the end of the function is done the powerpc dialect initialization (powerpc_init_dialect).
With this change, the dialect initialization is done before the function gdb_print_insn_powerpc is called and therefore  disassembler_options set here are ignored being set before the dialect initialization.

The patch that fixes this issue is below. Please let me know your comments.

Regards,
Catalin


Subject: [PATCH] fix gdb disassembly initialization

The dialect initialization is broken in gdb 7.5.1 only: the dialect 
initialization is done before gdb-print-instruction, therefore the 
disassembly options set here are always ignored. This patch fixes 
this problem by moving  powerpc dialect initialization after the
disassembly option is set in gdb-print-instruction.
