[PATCH 0/3] disassembler syntax highlighting in objdump (via libopcodes)

[Nelson Chu]

Hi Andrew,

I get gas/testsuite/gas/riscv/insn testcase fail after applying the
series of patches.  Here is the reduced case,

$ cat tmp.s
.word 0x68c58543
fmadd.s fa0,fa1,fa2,fa3,rne
.insn r  MADD, 0, 0, a0, a1, a2, a3
.insn 0x68c58543

All these are the same instruction encoding - fmadd.s, but the first
".word" will be marked and dumped as data rather than instruction.  We
are used to get the following dump result,

$ /scratch/nelsonc/build-upstream/rv64gc-elf/build-install/bin/riscv64-unknown-elf-objdump
-d tmp.o

0000000000000000 <.text>:
   0:   68c58543                .word   0x68c58543
   4:   68c58543                fmadd.s fa0,fa1,fa2,fa3,rne
   8:   68c58543                fmadd.s fa0,fa1,fa2,fa3,rne
   c:   68c58543                fmadd.s fa0,fa1,fa2,fa3,rne

But now with the patches, I will get segmentation fault when trying to
dump fmadd.s as instruction,

$ /scratch/nelsonc/build-upstream/rv64gc-elf/build-install/bin/riscv64-unknown-elf-objdump
-d tmp.o

0000000000000000 <.text>:
   0:   68c58543                .word   0x68c58543
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Is it possible if you could help to see what happened?  Thanks!


Nelson
