Subject: Re: disassembly in gdb?

Can you be more specific as to where in i386 or mips that disassemble_info is set for those targets?

How does gdb know which disassembler options to use for a given
architecture target?  For example on PPC there are various flags to
enable such things as SPE, AltiVec, ISEL, etc.

Is there anyway in an existing gdb to have the disassembler understand
a different subset of opcodes for the architecture?


This is supposed to be handled by the disassembler_options field in
the disassemble_info struct.  Unfortunately, I don't see anything
in the public GDB sources which set these options for any of the
PPC cores.  (mips and i386 have some code which do this though.)
