[PATCH] Implement i386 register renumbering

Sat Jul 28 10:24:00 GMT 2001


The attached patch implements the mapping from debug info register
numbers to GDB's internal register numbers.  I chose reasonable
defaults for stabs, COFF, DWARF and DWARF2 based on the the GCC
configuration files:

 * stabs, COFF: Use the "default" register map; probably based on what
   was used by dbx on BSD and System V before release 4.

 * DWARF, DWARF2: Use the Dwarf register map; Based on sdb on System V
   release 4.

These defaults don't work for all targets.  On most ELF targets, GCC
always uses the Dwarf map, which means that stabs-in-ELF (the default
for many of those systems) will have problems.  The converse will be
true for COFF/a.out that support DWARF2.  Overriding the right
_REG_TO_REGNUM define in your target's tm.h should be enough to get it
working.  The attached patch does this for the targets that I
maintain.

If your target doesn't support floating-point registers, don't bother,
the defaults will work just fine.  If you want me to fix your target,
just drop me a mail, and I'll fix things such that it works right with
GCC 3.0.
