Hi Scott,
: I think the default register names should be set by the port. Most Linux users
: don't use the APCS/ATPCS register names. I don't find them intuitive at all
: myself.
On the other hand, Cygnus customers have complained about the lack of
A{T}PCS compliant register naming schemes and this patch is part of
the work that was done to make them happy.
: Is the othernames command really necessary? Perhaps we should take this
: opportunity to remove it. I won't miss it. It's just another command to
: document.
Documenting a command is not hard. I suppoose the question the
question is really "is this feature necessary ?". I would certainly
think that the ability to invoke target-specific commands from within
GDB would be useful (*) be they register renaming commands or
something else.
Cheers
Nick
(*) Note - I am not a GDB power user, so for all I know GDB may
already have the ability to do this.
