- Subject: [PATCH] opcodes/riscv: Hide '.L0 ' fake symbols
The RISC-V assembler generates fake labels with the name '.L0 ' as
part of the debug information (see
gas/config/tc-riscv.h:FAKE_LABEL_NAME).
The problem is that currently, when disassembling an object file, the
output looks like this (this is an example from the GDB testsuite, but
is pretty representative of anything with debug information):
000000000000001e <main>:

The frequent repeated '.L0 ' labels are pointless, as they are
non-unique there's no way to match a use of '.L0 ' to its appearence
in the output, so we'd be better off just not printing it at all.
That's what this patch does by defining a 'symbol_is_valid' method for
RISC-V. With this commit, the same disassembly now looks like this:
000000000000001e <main>:
