I could work on providing a test case for this feature to be included on
the GDB testsuite, as soon as i get familiar with the syntax.

About the instruction bits problem. Should i just literally assign a
decimal number to the variable (16 in this case) or is it preferred to
do a shift based on the hex value?

Thanks!
Luis
