2 Testsuite for the i860 version of the GNU assembler
3 ---------------------------------------------------
5 This is a simple testsuite for the i860 assembler. It currently
6 consists of testcases for checking that every instruction is
7 parsed correctly and that correct object code is generated.
9 It includes testcases for the base i860XR instruction set as well
10 as the enhanced i860XP instructions and control registers.
12 The expected results files were generated using the UNIX System V/i860
13 Release 4 vendor assembler (/usr/ccs/bin/as -V reports version
14 "Standard C Development Environment (SCDE) 5.0 12/08/89"). This
15 way GAS/i860 is tested against a known good assembler.
18 - Relocation testing is basically non-existent.
19 - pst.d (pixel store) is the only instruction with no testcase.
20 - Tests for dual instruction mode: alignment of a dual mode pair,
21 check that dual mode has a proper pair (FLOP/integer) of instructions,
22 known gas defect when handling the d.fnop, etc.
23 - All current testcases use the default AT&T/SVR4 syntax; a few simple
24 tests of the Intel syntax should be added to prevent bitrot.
