Hi Daniel,

IIRC, you've worked on the mips target a few times in the past.
Do you forsee any problem if mips_register_name return "0" .. "31"
for the raw GP registers?

What Aleksandar is trying to do is allow "info register 1" to work
on mips, instead of having to use "info register at"...

Thanks!

I think it's weird for them to map to the raw registers. info registers displays the ABI-sized registers, so why should these be any different?


Bottom line is that mips assembly will have something like this: move $4, $9 # copy contents of $9 into $4

and it would be natural to be able to print value of $9.

My patch may have not implemented this correctly, maybe I still need to return pseudo registers, but the numeric name should be recognized in any case.
