- Subject: [PATCH] Make arm_record_test work on big-endian machines
- Authentication-results: sourceware.org; auth=none
While running selftests on a big-endian PPC, I noticed arm_record_test
failed a test. The reason is that the gdbarch_find_by_info call is done
with BFD_ENDIAN_UNKNOWN byte order in the info structure. In that case,
it uses the byte order of the current default BFD, which happened to be
big-endian on that GDB build, and the gdbarch returned is a big-endian
one. The instruction used for the 32-bits part of the test is written
in little-endian form, so GDB fails to decode the instruction properly.
Since ARM supports both endiannesses, and it should be possible to debug
using an host of both endiannesses, I changed the test to check with
gdbarches of both endiannesses.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* arm-tdep.c (arm_record_test): Test with big and little endian
gdbarch.
