Subject: [PATCH 3/5] gas: use "stack trace" instead of "unwind" for SFrame
Date: Tue, 31 Jan 2023 15:34:27 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230131233429.3708328-4-indu.bhagat@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230131233429.3708328-1-indu.bhagat@oracle.com>

SFrame format is meant for generating stack traces only.

gas/
	* as.c: Replace the use of "unwind" with "stack trace".
	* config/tc-aarch64.c: Likewise.
	* config/tc-aarch64.h: Likewise.
	* config/tc-i386.c: Likewise.
	* config/tc-i386.h: Likewise.
	* gen-sframe.c: Likewise.
	* gen-sframe.h: Likewise.
	* testsuite/gas/cfi-sframe/common-empty-2.s: Likewise.
	* testsuite/gas/cfi-sframe/common-empty-3.s: Likewise.
