Re: MMX & Floating point insn suport for reversible debugging

[paawan oza <paawan1982@yahoo.com>]

I have gone through i387-tdep.c.
and I have come up with following doubts.

 here I start adding floating point register support.
 I think curerntly it records the memory

 so remaining thing for floating point is store
 registers st0 to st7.

    do we need to collect affect FPU flags !!

    and another thing is ;
    take floating point insn
    opcode  mnemnic   desc
    DE F9   FDIVP     Divide ST(1) by ST(0),
                      store result in ST(1), and
                      pop the register stack.

I do not think code is taking care of 2 bytes floating
instruction..
I suspoe ModR/M and SIB byte encoding is taken care
with respect to floating point.

please clarify.

Oza.
