Xtensa uses it in several macros passing it a literal string, so its convenient
for the argument type to be const char *. However some of the code in
symbols.c seems to assume tc_canonicalize_symbol_name () will return a non
const pointer, and some other target's implementations even modify the
argument, so it seems best to return a char * which means casting away const on
the argument when we return it instead of another string.

parse_ldconst () takes a char ** as a in / out argument, and sometimes points
args[0] to a constant string. Then in some cases after parse_ldconst ()
returns md_assemble () twiddles the contents of arg[0]. So it seems like
it would take some work to avoid these casts, and its not really clear
that work is worth it.

* config/tc-i960.c (parse_ldconst): Cast to char * when assigning to

For these targets its not clear how md_assemble can usefully be split up so
that part can take const char *. There is also a fair number of targets that
need md_assemble () to take a char *, so we can't easily make the argument
const. So since there isn't many callers it seems easiest to just add a couple
of casts.

get_symbol_name () returns a char * in a out arg, which means we need to cast

now.

various places either directly or indirectly set input_line_pointer to point at
a literal. Currently lots of places modify the string input_line_pointer
points at, so making it const isn't easy. Since most if not all of these
places assign to input_line_pointer to parse an expression it would probably be
best to add ways to generate and deal with expressions that doesn't involve
parsing strings, but for now adding some casts seems easiest.

In the SPARC V9 (and later) versions of the SPARC specification, the
section C.1.1 "Register Names" specifies that:
"asr_reg. An asr_reg is an Ancillary State Register name. It may have
one of the following values:
%asr16-%asr31"
The rationale of having this restriction was that the registers from 16
to 31 are reserved to implementations, and are therefore "non-V9". It
also assumes that the existing ASR registers in the range 0..31 will
have their own names such as %y, that can be used to access such
registers.
However, this is problematic. When a new ASR register is introduced,
such as %mcdper a.k.a. %asr14, it is useful to be able to use %asr14 in
order to not depend on the latest version of the assembler.
The Solaris assembler is lax and allows to assembly instructions
referring to %asr0 to %asr31. This patch makes the GNU assembler to
mimic that behavior.

frag_var () assigns its last argument to frag::fr_opcode, and it turns out
some targets modify the string that points to. However it appears niether the
generic code or the microblaze code modifies what fr_opcode points to, so this
code should be safe. So we unfortunately need to cast to char * when passing
an argument to frag_var () but otherwise microblaze can itself point to these
strings with const char *.

if the condition is true then we know that str already points to a'\0' in the

When parsing the operand instruction flags we don't currently detect the
case where multiple flags are provided from the same class set, these
will be accepted and the bit values merged together, resulting in the
wrong instruction being assembled. For example:
adc.n.eq r0,r0,r2
Will assemble without error, yet, upon disassembly, the instruction will
actually be:
adc.c r0,r0,r2
In a later commit the concept of required flags will be introduced.
Required flags are just like normal instruction flags, except that they
must be present for the instruction to match. Adding this will allow
for simpler instructions in the instruction table, and allow for more
sharing of operand extraction and insertion functions.
To solve both of the above issues (multiple flags being invalid, and
required flags), this commit reworks the flag class mechanism.
Currently the flag class is never used. Each instruction can reference
multiple flag classes, each flag class has a class type and a set of
flags. However, at present, the class type is never used. The current
values identify the type of instruction that the flag will be used in,
but this is not required information.
Instead, this commit discards the old flag classes, and introduces 3 new
classes. The first F_CLASS_NONE, is just a NULL marker value, and is
only used in the NULL marker flag class. The other two flag classes are
F_FLAG_OPTIONAL, and F_FLAG_REQUIRED.
The class F_FLAG_OPTIONAL has the property that at most one of the flags
in the flag set for that class must be present in the instruction. The
"at most" one means that no flags being present is fine.
The class F_FLAG_REQUIRED is not currently used, but will be soon. With
this class, exactly one of the flags from this class must be present in
the instruction. If the flag class contains a single flag, then of
course that flag must be present. However, if the flag class contained
two or more, then one, and only one of them must be present.

This commit introduces the nps400 machine type as a variant of arc.
There's a new flag in the assembler to select this machine type. All
other changes are just adding handling of the new machine type into the
relevant places.
The nps400 is an arc700 variant with some vendor specific instructions
added into the instruction set. This commit does not add any of the new
instructions, this is just laying the groundwork for future commits.
However, in preparation for these new instructions a new opcode define for
nps400 has been added to include/opcode/arc.h, this new opcode define is
used in the assembler and disassembler along with the existing define
for arc700 such that when assembling and disassembling for nps400 the
user will have access to all arc700 instructions and all the nps400
vendor extension instructions.

The constant EF_ARC_CPU_GENERIC is defined in the include/elf/arc.h
file, and is used in a few places in binutils, however, this constant
should never make it into the elf header flags; we always set a valid
cpu type in the assembler, which should then be copied over during
linking.
There are some non-gnu arc compilers that don't write an architecture
type into the e_flags field, instead leaving the field as 0, which is
the EF_ARC_CPU_GENERIC value. This non-gnu compiler uses the machine
type to distinguish between the old and newer arc architectures, setting
the machine type to EM_ARC_COMPACT for old arc600, arc601, and arc700
architectures, while using EM_ARC_COMPACT2 for newer arcem and archs
architectures.
Previously when displaying the machine flags for an older EM_ARC_COMPACT
machine, if the e_flags had not been filled in, then we relied on the
default case statement to display the message "Generic ARCompact", while
in the EM_ARC_COMPACT2 case we specifically handled EF_ARC_CPU_GENERIC
to print "ARC Generic", leaving the default case to print a message
about unrecognised cpu flag.
After this commit EF_ARC_CPU_GENERIC has been removed, for both machine
types EM_ARC_COMPACT and EM_ARC_COMPACT2 we now rely on the default case
statement to handle the situation where the e_flags has not been filled
in. The message displayed is now "Unknown ARCompact" (for older arc
architectures) and "Unknown ARC" (for the newer architectures). The
switch from "Generic" to "Unknown" in the message string is for clarity,
calling the file "Generic" can give the impression that the file is
compiled for a common sub-set of the architectures, and would therefore
run on any type of machine (or at least any type of new or old machine
depending on if the machine type is ARC or ARCv2). However, this was
not what "Generic" meant, it really meant "Unknown", so that's what we
now say.
As part of the merging of the readelf flag reading code, I have unified
the strings used in displaying the ELF ABI. This means that for older
arc machines (arc600, arc601, and arc700) the string used for the
original ABI, and ABIv2 have changed, the current ABIv3 remains the
same. For the newer architectures (arcem and archs) the abi strings
remain unchanged in all cases.

This commit restructures the selection of the default cpu/mach so that

line choice). This will reduce the amount of change needed in a later
patch.
At the request of Synopsys, the default architecture changes to ARC700
from this commit, previously the default was a non-existent

ARC700.

The inline-data test checks the specific bytes laid down by the
assembler, and so relies on the endianness of the target. I could
change the expected results to be endian agnostic, however, I worried
that a bug in the assembler that gets the endianness wrong would then
slip through. Instead I add a new test for big-endian arc, and restrict
the existing test to little-endian arc.

char can be a signed type, and some of the values in these arrays are greater
than 0x80 which means they are outside of the range a signed char can store.
Fortunately it seems most compilers handle this in the obvious way by storing
the same bits as a negative number, but this is wierd and easily fixed.
