RE: debugger 6.2.1 misfeatures

["Monika Chaddha" <monika at acmet dot com>]

Is it necessary to send test cases with the bug? I had sent the
following bug with patch some days ago but didn't get any response
regarding this. I don't have any test case till now to prove this bug as
it can be test only for remote target during tracing.
What should I do? Pls help.

Thanks & Regards
Monika

Defect report:-

Defects
--------

1. Mnemonic for CMP instruction is putted as

   "sltiu r<TRX>, r<TRY>"

   While it should be as

   "cmp r<TRX>, r<TRY>"

2. Mnemonic for CMPI instruction is putted as

   "sltiu r<TRX>, <IMMED>"

   While it should be as

   "cmpi r<TRX>, <IMMED>"
