commit 7d02540ab73206249779ced77a6abe0be156442e
Author: Tamar Christina <tamar.christina@arm.com>
Date: Tue May 15 16:34:54 2018 +0100
Allow non-fatal errors to be emitted and for disassembly notes be placed on AArch64
This patch adds a new platform option "notes" that can be used to indicate if
disassembly notes should be placed in the disassembly as comments.
These notes can contain information about a failing constraint such as reading
from a write-only register. The disassembly will not be blocked because of this
but -M notes will emit a comment saying that the operation is not allowed.
For assembly this patch adds a new non-fatal status for errors. This is
essentially a warning. The reason for not creating an actual warning type is
that this causes the interaction between the ordering of warnings and errors to
be problematic. Currently the error buffer is almost always filled because of
the way operands are matched during assembly. An earlier template may have put
an error there that would only be displayed if no other template matches or
generates a higher priority error. But by definition a warning is lower
priority than a warning, so the error (which is incorrect if another template
matched) will supersede the warning. By treating warnings as errors and only
later relaxing the severity this relationship keeps working and the existing
reporting infrastructure can be re-used.
