Re: [PATCH] arm reversible : <phase_2_complete>

Hi Tom,

So you are suggesting;

GET_REG_VAL (reg_cache, ARM_PC_REGNUM, &u_buf.buf[0]);
if (target is big endian)
  {
        convert_big_to_little (u_buf.s_word)
  }


something like above ?
right ?

and while replaying do I need to convert it to big endian ?
somethig like that ?

Regards,
Oza.

No, sorry.  Any code in gdb is by running on the host system.

So, GET_REG_VAL fetches the raw register -- from the target to the host.
`u_buf.s_word' is a scalar value in gdb, i.e., on the host.
