Hi Mark,

Do you think you could try out this one, instead?  I worked out what
was going wrong for me: sign extension.  I was testing a 64-bit GDB
binary on 32-bit programs, which caused (op >> 22) == 0x20f to fail;
when it didn't fail, on a 32-bit host, that check allows any load into
r31 to be considered part of the prologue.  But it was advancing so far
that for small functions, the breakpoint was placed after the restore
of r31 in the epilogue - much too far.

This patch fixes the original bug, fixes the sign extension problem,
and generally overhauls the prologue skipping (as opposed to scanning)
to work more like MIPS's.  It tests with no regressions on
powerpc-linux, using a 32-bit binary this time.

	* rs6000-tdep.c (rs6000_skip_prologue): Use skip_prologue_using_sal.
	(rs6000_in_function_epilogue_p): Use extract_unsigned_integer.
	(refine_prologue_limit): Delete.
	(skip_prologue): Don't call it.  Use extract_unsigned_integer.
	Assume lim_pc is set.  Correct check for incomplete prologues.

2006-10-17  Daniel Jacobowitz  <dan@codesourcery.com>

	* gdb.arch/powerpc-prologue.c (optimized_1_marker, gdb2029_marker)
	(optimized_1): New.
	(main): Call optimized_1.
	(gdb2029): Correct typos.  Call gdb2029_marker.
	* gdb.arch/powerpc-prologue.exp: Run new test.  Use a breakpoint
	for gdb2029.
