When the RISC-V disassembler encounters an unknown instruction, it
currently just prints the value of the bytes, like this:
Dump of assembler code for function custom_insn:
0x00010132 <+0>: addi sp,sp,-16
0x00010134 <+2>: sw s0,12(sp)
0x00010136 <+4>: addi s0,sp,16
0x00010138 <+6>: 0x52018b
0x0001013c <+10>: 0x9c45
My proposal, in this patch, is to change the behaviour to this:
Dump of assembler code for function custom_insn:
0x00010132 <+0>: addi sp,sp,-16
0x00010134 <+2>: sw s0,12(sp)
0x00010136 <+4>: addi s0,sp,16
0x00010138 <+6>: .4byte 0x52018b
0x0001013c <+10>: .2byte 0x9c45
Adding the .4byte and .2byte opcodes. The benefit that I see here is
that in the patched version of the tools, the disassembler output can
be fed back into the assembler and it should assemble to the same
binary format. Before the patch, the disassembler output is invalid
assembly.
I've started a RISC-V specific test file under binutils so that I can
add a test for this change.
binutils/ChangeLog:
* testsuite/binutils-all/riscv/riscv.exp: New file.
* testsuite/binutils-all/riscv/unknown.d: New file.
* testsuite/binutils-all/riscv/unknown.s: New file.
opcodes/ChangeLog:
* riscv-dis.c (riscv_disassemble_insn): Print a .%dbyte opcode
before an unknown instruction, '%d' is replaced with the
instruction length.
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.
