Hello,
The attached patch modifies the generic ``info registsters'' command so
that it precludes vector registers (in addition to floating-point
registers). The online doco indicates:
(gdb) help info registers
List of integer registers and their contents, for selected stack frame.
Register name as argument means describe only that register.
(gdb) help info all-registers
List of all registers and their contents, for selected stack frame.
Register name as argument means describe only that register.
I think the change makes the behavour a better match for both the
documentation and what I think is the intent of the command. Print a
minimal set of registers.
It will eventually affect the i386 -- I've a patch to change the type of
xmm [and mmx] registers to true vectors. When that is in, ``info
registers'' will stop displaying the xmm registers.
Thoughts?
enjoy,
Andrew
