The attached replaces the body of the INIT_DISASSEMBLE_INFO macro with
a function (init_disassemble_info).  As for
INIT_DISASSEMBLE_INFO_NO_ARCH, it deletes it (For reference, I've also
attached a patch expunging the macro from GDB).

If we're replacing the macro with a function, I think we might as well
eliminate INIT_DISASSEMBLE_INFO entirely, and just have users call
init_disassemble_info().

It depends on how concerned BINUTILS are with backward compatibility. As I wrote:

Should binutils/objdump be updated and INIT_DISASSEMBLE_INFO also deleted.

Should both macro's be retained for "backward compatibility"?


enjoy,
Andrew
