Subject: 	* findvar.c (value_of_register, value_from_register),
X-Git-Tag: gdb-4_18~16766
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ad09cb2bd3ea991f862103ee802a7a93e7895909;p=platform%2Fupstream%2Fbinutils.git

	* findvar.c (value_of_register, value_from_register),
	hppa-tdep.c (pa_print_fp_reg), infcmd.c (do_registers_info),
	valops.c (value_assign):   Use REGISTER_CONVERT_TO_* only if
	REGISTER_CONVERTIBLE is defined, otherwise just copy the content.
	Pass desired type to REGISTER_CONVERT_TO_*.

	* config/m68k/tm-m68k.h, config/i960/tm-i960.h (REGISTER_CONVERT_*):
	Pass length of desired type to store/extract_floating.
	* config/i386/tm-arm.h, config/i386/tm-i386aix.h,
	config/i386/tm-sun386.h, config/i386/tm-symmetry.h,
	config/m88k/tm-m88k.h config/rs6000/tm-rs6000.h (REGISTER_CONVERT_*):
	Use extract_floating and store_floating with length of desired type.
	* config/m68k/tm-news.h (STORE,EXTRACT_RETURN_VALUE):  Add type
	parameter to REGISTER_CONVERT_*.

	* config/a29k/tm-a29k.h, config/convex/tm-convex.h,
	config/gould/tm-np1.h, config/gould/tm-pn.h, config/h8300/tm-h8300.h,

	config/vax/tm-vax.h, config/z8k/tm-z8k.h (REGISTER_CONVERTIBLE,
	REGISTER_CONVERT_TO_RAW, REGISTER_CONVERT_TO_VIRTUAL):  Remove
	versions for which REGISTER_CONVERTIBLE is always false.
	* z8k-tdep.c (register_convert_to_virtual, register_convert_to_raw):
	Remove, no longer used.

	* alpha-tdep.c (alpha_register_convert_to_raw,
	alpha_register_convert_to_virtual):  New routines to handle
	the different raw formats in alpha floating point registers.
	* config/alpha/tm-alpha.h (REGISTER_CONVERTIBLE,
	REGISTER_CONVERT_TO_VIRTUAL, REGISTER_CONVERT_TO_RAW):  Use them.
