Subject: Fix arm_addr_bits_remove: 26-bit Thumb doesn't exist
Date: Sat, 20 Oct 2001 10:23:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.SOL.4.33.0110201758490.17268-100000@virgo.cus.cam.ac.uk> (raw)
I haven't actually encountered this bug in reality yet, but it looks to me
as if arm_addr_bits_remove() is bogus. Specifically, it has a case for
Thumb state in a 26-bit mode. According to the ARM ARM (2nd Edition,
section A8.1), no processor will support both 26-bit mode and thumb state
at all, let alone at the same time. I suspect this might be a noticable
problem when debugging SVC mode code, since then R15 will have its bottom
bit set, which arm_pc_is_thumb() is likely to interpret as meaning the CPU
is in Thumb state.
ChangeLog entry:

* arm-tdep.c (arm_addr_bits_remove): Don't believe in 26-bit
