This patch adds a new framework to add architecture sensitive extensions, like
GCC does. This patch also implements all architecture extensions currently
available in GCC.
This framework works as follows. To enable architecture sensitive extensions
for a particular architecture, that architecture must contain an ARM_ARCH_OPT2
entry in the 'arm_archs' table. All fields here are the same as previous, with
the addition of a new extra field at the end to <name> it's extension table.
This <name>, corresponds to a <name>_ext_table of type 'struct arm_ext_table'.
This struct can be filled with three types of entries:
ARM_ADD (string <ext>, arm_feature_set <enable_bits>), which means +<ext> will
enable <enable_bits>
ARM_REMOVE (string <ext>, arm_feature_set <disable_bits>), which means
+no<ext> will disable <disable_bits>
ARM_EXT (string <ext>, arm_feature_set <enable_bits>, arm_feature_set
<disable_bits>), which means +<ext> will enable <enable_bits> and +no<ext>
will disable <disable_bits> (this is to be used instead of adding an
ARM_ADD and ARM_REMOVE for the same <ext>)
This patch does not disable the use of the old extensions, even if some of them
are duplicated in the new tables. This is a "in-between-step" as we may want to
deprecate the old table of extensions in later patches. For now, GAS will first
look for the +<ext> or +no<ext> in the new table and if no entry is found it
will continue searching in the old table, following old behaviour. If only an
ARM_ADD or an ARM_REMOVE is defined for <ext> and +no<ext> or +<ext> resp. is
used then it also continues to search the old table for it.
A couple of caveats:
- This patch does not enable the use of these architecture extensions with the
'.arch_extension' directive. This is future work that I will tend to later.
- This patch does not enable the use of these architecture extensions with the
-mcpu option. This is future work that I will tend to later.
- This patch does not change the current behaviour when combining an
architecture extension and using -mfpu on the command-line. The current
behaviour of GAS is to stage the union of feature bits enabled by both -march
and -mfpu. GCC behaves differently here, so this is something we may want to
revisit on a later date.

README
README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
