No. If we want them shared, i don't think we'd want them to throw
internal errors.
I was just pointing out the fact that we're losing the function name
information from arm_relocate_insn_thumb_16bit's and
thumb_process_displaced_32bit_insn's internal error messages. This
information may make debugging easier. We would need to throw errors
with custom messages from within arm_process_displaced_insn in order to
maintain those names. For example:
"thumb_process_displaced_16bit_insn: Instruction decode error"
"thumb_process_displaced_32bit_insn: Instruction decode error"
Instead of:
"arm_process_displaced_insn: Instruction decode error"
I see the regular non-thumb functions don't throw internal errors
themselves though. So i'm fine if others think the more specific error
message is not needed.
