Re: RFC: Patch to arm-tdep.c -- Register flavors

[Nick Clifton <nickc at cygnus dot com>]

Hi Andrew,

: With regard to the argumet to set dissassembly-flavour et.al. commands,
: is there anything generic in either BFD or opcodes that can be used to
: determine the names?

Sadly no.  In fact as far as I know the ARM is the only port so far
which has multiple flavours of register names (or at least supports
displaying them in disassembler dumps).

: Also are the functions:
: 
: > ! /* From opcodes/arm-dis.c */
: > !
: > ! extern int get_arm_regname_num_options (void);
: > !
: > ! extern int set_arm_regname_option (int option);
: > 
: > ! extern int get_arm_regnames (int option, const char **setname,
: > !                            const char **setdescription,
: > !                            const char ***regnames);
: 
: available in a header file (Nick?).  That would indicate an ongoing
: committment, on the part of the opcode maintainers, to support these
: interfaces.

They will be...  I am about to check in the following patch:

Cheers
