Re: [PATCH][x86] Fix for objdump internal error


Hi HJ,

Attached is patch with the tests. Ok for trunk?

gas/testsuite/Changelog:
2013-12-17  Michael Zolotukhin  <michael.v.zolotukhin@gmail.com>

        * gas/i386/disassem.s: New.
        * gas/i386/disassem.d: New.
        * gas/i386/x86-64-disassem.s: New.
        * gas/i386/x86-64-disassem.d: New.
        * gas/i386/i386.exp: Call new tests.


opcodes/Changelog:
2013-12-17  Michael Zolotukhin  <michael.v.zolotukhin@gmail.com>

        * i386-dis.c (MOD_FF_REG_3): New.
        (MOD_FF_REG_5): New.
        (mod_table): Add new entries.
        (reg_table): Fix decoding of ljmp and lcall.


BTW, the testing is still in progress, but it seems that it won't find
other bugs. It performs excessive backtracking of all possible
encoding-bytes, skipping only traversal through different values of
immediates. However, there is a suspicious place - somewhere in
print_insn routine there is a memory leakage. I'm going to investigate
it, but most probably it is caused by my a bit hacky changes.

Thanks,
Michael
