[opcodes] bfd_flavour

[Emmanuel Fleury]

Hi,

I'm trying to use libopcodes for one of my project and I stumbled into
the bfd_flavour parameter.

I tried to code a small disassembler (similar to objdump but way
simpler) with and without setting the bfd_flavour with no significant
difference on my tool.

My question is: What bad can happen if I omit to set the flavour of the
binary that I'm disassembling when using the disassembler_fn of
libopcodes ? (and, subsequently, what is used the bfd_flavour for in
libopcodes ?)

Regards
