Add file sim-hload.c - generic load for hardware only simulators.
Review each simulators sim_open, sim_load, sim_create_inferior so that
they more closely match required behavour.
that image properties such as endianness can be checked.
More strongly document the expected behavour of each of the sim_*
interfaces.
Add default endian argument to simulator config macro
SIM_AC_OPTION_ENDIAN. Use in sim_config.
o Provide poll_quit callback to simulators
so that they can poll for SIGINT on
clueless OS's.
o Add sim_stop to simulators so that clients
can request a halt (eg gdbtk's STOP button)
Works for PPC!
o Re-arange remote-sim.c so that the
hard work is moved from gdbsim_resume()
to gdbsim_wait() (where it should be).
* interp.c (target_byte_order): Delete.
(sim_kind, myname, little_endian_p): New static locals.
(init_pointers): Use little_endian_p instead of target_byte_order.
(sim_resume): Likewise.
(sim_open): Set sim_kind, myname. Set little_endian_p from -E arg.
(sim_load): Return SIM_RC. New arg abfd. Call sim_load_file to
load file into simulator. Set start address from bfd.
(sim_create_inferior): Return SIM_RC. Delete arg start_address.
* Make-common.in (CSEARCH): Do not include the gdb directory in
the search path.
* Make-common.in (SIM_ENDIAN, SIM_HOSTENDIAN, SIM_INLINE,
SIM_WARNING): Drop, requiring the simulator specific Makefile.in
to explicitly incorporate these.
* aclocal.m4 (--enable-sim-alignment); New option. Strongly
specify the alignment restrictions of the target architecture -
without this option all alignment restrictions are accomodated.
(--enable-sim-assert): New option. Conditionally compile in
assertion statements.
(--enable-sim-float): New option. Strongly specify the target's
floating point support.
(--enable-sim-hardware): New option. Specify the hardware devices
included in the simulation.
(--enable-sim-packages): New option. Specify the hardware
packages included in the simulation.
(--enable-sim-regparm): New option. Specify that parameters be
passed in registers instead of on the stack.
(--enable-sim-reserved-bits): New option. Specify that reserved
bits within an instruction are are correctly set.
(--enable-sim-smp): New option. Specify the level of SMP support
to be included in the simulator.
(--enable-sim-stdcall): New option. Specify an alternative
function call convention.
(--enable-sim-xor-endian): New option. Configure xor-endian
support used by some targets to implement bi-endian support.
scheme which is more compatible with WinGDB builds.
* configure.in: Improve comment on how to run autoconf.
* configure: Re-run autoconf to get new ../common/aclocal.m4.
* Makefile.in: Use autoconf substitution to install common
makefile fragment.
