Andrew Burgess 884b49e3a9 opcodes/riscv: Hide '.L0 ' fake symbols
The RISC-V assembler generates fake labels with the name '.L0 ' as
part of the debug information (see
gas/config/tc-riscv.h:FAKE_LABEL_NAME).

The problem is that currently, when disassembling an object file, the
output looks like this (this is an example from the GDB testsuite, but
is pretty representative of anything with debug information):

The frequent repeated '.L0 ' labels are pointless, as they are
non-unique there's no way to match a use of '.L0 ' to its appearence
in the output, so we'd be better off just not printing it at all.
That's what this patch does by defining a 'symbol_is_valid' method for
RISC-V.  With this commit, the same disassembly now looks like this:

  000000000000001e <main>:

In order to share the fake label between the assembler and the
libopcodes library, I've added some new defines RISCV_FAKE_LABEL_NAME
and RISCV_FAKE_LABEL_CHAR in include/opcode/riscv.h.  I could have
just moved FAKE_LABEL_NAME to the include file, however, I thnk this
would be confusing, someone working on the assembler would likely not
expect to find FAKE_LABEL_NAME defined outside of the assembler source
tree.  By introducing the RISCV_FAKE_LABEL_* defines I can leave the
assembler standard FAKE_LABEL_ defines in the assembler source, but
still share the RISCV_FAKE_LABEL_* with libopcodes.

gas/ChangeLog:

	* config/tc-riscv.h (FAKE_LABEL_NAME): Define as
	RISCV_FAKE_LABEL_NAME.
	(FAKE_LABEL_CHAR): Define as RISCV_FAKE_LABEL_CHAR.

include/ChangeLog:

	* dis-asm.h (riscv_symbol_is_valid): Declare.
	* opcode/riscv.h (RISCV_FAKE_LABEL_NAME): Define.
	(RISCV_FAKE_LABEL_CHAR): Define.

opcodes/ChangeLog:

        * disassembler.c (disassemble_init_for_target): Add RISC-V
        initialisation.
        * riscv-dis.c (riscv_symbol_is_valid): New function.

		   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.
