Richard Sandiford e1b988bba6 [AArch64][SVE 11/32] Tweak aarch64_reg_parse_32_64 interface
aarch64_reg_parse_32_64 is currently used to parse address registers,
among other things.  It returns two bits of information about the
register: whether it's W rather than X, and whether it's a zero register.

SVE adds addressing modes in which the base or offset can be a vector
register instead of a scalar, so a choice between W and X is no longer
enough.  It's more convenient to pass the type of register around as
a qualifier instead.

As it happens, two callers of aarch64_reg_parse_32_64 already wanted
the information in the form of a qualifier, so the change feels pretty
natural even without SVE.

Also, the function took two parameters to control whether {W}SP
and (W|X)ZR should be accepted.  We tend to get slightly better
error messages by accepting them regardless and getting the caller
to do the check, rather than potentially treating "xzr", "sp" etc.
as constants.  This is easier to do if the function returns the
reg_entry rather than just the register number.

This does create a corner case where:

	.equ	sp, 1
	ldr	w0, [x0, sp]

was previously an acceptable way of writing "ldr w0, [x0, #1]",
but I don't think it's important to continue supporting that.
We already rejected things like:

	.equ	sp, 1
	add	x0, x1, sp

To ensure these new error messages "win" when matching against
several candidate instruction entries, we need to use the same
address-parsing code for all addresses, including ADDR_SIMPLE
and SIMD_ADDR_SIMPLE.  The next patch also relies on this.

Finally, aarcch64_check_reg_type was written in a pretty
conservative way.  It should always be equivalent to a single
bit test.

gas/
	* config/tc-aarch64.c (REG_TYPE_R_Z, REG_TYPE_R_SP): New register
	types.
	(get_reg_expected_msg): Handle them and REG_TYPE_R64_SP.
	(aarch64_check_reg_type): Simplify.
	(aarch64_reg_parse_32_64): Return the reg_entry instead of the
	register number.  Return the type as a qualifier rather than an
	"isreg32" boolean.  Remove reject_sp, reject_rz and isregzero
	parameters.
	(parse_shifter_operand): Update call to aarch64_parse_32_64_reg.
	Use get_reg_expected_msg.
	(parse_address_main): Likewise.  Use aarch64_check_reg_type.
	(po_int_reg_or_fail): Replace reject_sp and reject_rz parameters
	with a reg_type parameter.  Update call to aarch64_parse_32_64_reg.
	Use aarch64_check_reg_type to test the result.
	(parse_operands): Update after the above changes.  Parse ADDR_SIMPLE
	addresses normally before enforcing the syntax restrictions.
	* testsuite/gas/aarch64/diagnostic.s: Add tests for a post-index
	zero register and for a stack pointer index.
	* testsuite/gas/aarch64/diagnostic.l: Update accordingly.
	Also update existing diagnostic messages after the above changes.
	* testsuite/gas/aarch64/illegal-lse.l: Update the error message
	for 32-bit register bases.

		   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.
