Subject: SIM: Handle XScale COFF binaries
Date: Tue, 05 Feb 2002 02:55:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <m3elk0fb9f.fsf@north-pole.nickc.cambridge.redhat.com> (raw)

Hi Guys,

  I have checked in the following patch.  It fixes the ARM simulator
  so that COFF based XScale binaries will be correctly simulated.  The
  problem was that the COFF header did not have enough bits to
  distinguish between the v5, v5T, v5TE and XScale architectures, and
  so it was defaulting to v5, disabling the simulation of the XScale
  instructions.

Cheers
        Nick

	* wrapper.c: If a v5 architecture is detected, assume it might be
	an XScale binary, since there is no way to distinguish between
	the two in the COFF file format.
