[PATCH] s390: Do not generate incomplete opcode table

Thu Oct 16 11:09:13 GMT 2025


The s390 opcode table s390-opc.tbl is generated from s390-opc.txt
using the 390-mkopc utility using output redirection.  If s390-mkopc
fails with a non-zero return code, e.g. due to a warning or error, an
incomplete opcode table may be generated in the build directory.  A
subsequent invocation of make then assumes that incomplete opcode
table to be up to date.  Depending on the s390-mkopc issue the build
may then proceed without any follow-on warnings or errors, causing
the preceding error or warning to go unnoticed.

Generate the s390 opcode table into an intermediate temporary file
s390-opc.tbl.tmp in the build directory and only move it to the final
target s390-opc.tbl if the generation was successful.

Tested by appending an unsupported inline comment "# TEST" to one of
the instructions defined in s390-opc.txt.

opcodes/
	* Makefile.am (s390-opc.tab): Use an intermediate temporary file
	to prevent updating of the target on error/warning.
	* Makefile.in: Regenerated.

Notes (jremus):
    An generic alternative would have been to use the special built-in make
    target .DELETE_ON_ERROR [1].  But since that cannot be restricted to
    individual targets it would affect all targets.
