From: Stafford Horne Date: Wed, 27 Dec 2017 14:36:31 +0000 (+0900) Subject: tdesc: handle arbitrary strings in tdesc_register_in_reggroup_p X-Git-Tag: gdb-8.1-release~99 X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=cef0f8684e818f8b6c71c44dc9cc28a6d0ac3754;p=external%2Fbinutils.git tdesc: handle arbitrary strings in tdesc_register_in_reggroup_p tdesc_register_in_reggroup_p in now able to handle arbitrary groups. This is useful when groups are created while the target descriptor file is received from the remote. This can be the case of a soft core target processor where registers/groups can change. gdb/ChangeLog: yyyy-mm-dd Franck Jullien Stafford Horne * target-descriptions.c (tdesc_register_in_reggroup_p): Support arbitrary strings. (tdesc_use_registers): Add logic to register new reggroups. (tdesc_reg::group): Update comment to indicate we allow arbitrary strings. * NEWS (Changes since GDB 8.0): Announce that GDB supports arbitrary reggroups. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: yyyy-mm-dd Stafford Horne * gdb.xml/extra-regs.xml: Add example foo reggroup. * gdb.xml/tdesc-regs.exp: Add test to check for foo reggroup. gdb/doc/ChangeLog: yyyy-mm-dd Stafford Horne * gdb.texinfo (Target Description Format): Explain that arbitrary strings are now allowed for register groups. --- diff --git a/gdb/ChangeLog b/gdb/ChangeLog index e3ef0fe..4d85029 100644 --- a/gdb/ChangeLog +++ b/gdb/ChangeLog @@ -1,3 +1,14 @@ +2017-12-27 Franck Jullien + Stafford Horne + + * target-descriptions.c (tdesc_register_in_reggroup_p): Support + arbitrary strings. + (tdesc_use_registers): Add logic to register new reggroups. + (tdesc_reg::group): Update comment to indicate we allow + arbitrary strings. + * NEWS (Changes since GDB 8.0): Announce that GDB supports + arbitrary reggroups. + 2017-12-27 Stafford Horne * reggroups.c (reggroup_gdbarch_new): New function. diff --git a/gdb/NEWS b/gdb/NEWS index 44f481d..c861853 100644 --- a/gdb/NEWS +++ b/gdb/NEWS @@ -3,6 +3,10 @@ *** Changes since GDB 8.0 +* GDB now supports dynamically creating arbitrary register groups specified + in XML target descriptions.
