Subject: Re: iwmmxt2 patch for binutils-2.16.92
Date: Thu, 21 Sep 2006 05:31:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <246188420609202033q5ff9aa9bi281577f841620c51@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <Pine.LNX.4.64.0609201224480.12761@digraph.polyomino.org.uk>

The correct disassembly result should be as below. bit 21 (write_back)
should be set, otherwise, it will be illegal instruction.
 0:  ecb11000        wldrb   wr1, [r1]
14:  ecf11000        wldrh   wr1, [r1]
50:  eca11000       wstrb   wr1, [r1]
54:  ece11000       wstrh   wr1, [r1]

This does exists in iWMMXt1 instruction, not introduced by iWMMXt2
patch. I made a mistake due to I noticed it on iWMMXt2 spec. I will
submit a patch to current binutils separately.
