Wirth" <hfwirth@ping.at> X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0 (X11; I; FreeBSD 2.1.7-RELEASE i386) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org Subject: Pentium MMX Extensions, Changes to (g)as and gdb Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-hackers@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello, I made some changes to gas and gdb to support the new MMX extensions for the Pentium P55C. The changes are only in some files. I am currently in the process of testing them. I have added support for all new opcodes in the assembler and in the disassembler part of the debugger. With the assembler one is able to use gcc _asm statements to utilize the new opcodes. Question: Are you interested in these changes ? If yes, please drop me a line. The changes, a short description and a description of the tests they passed will probably be ready at the end of this week. As I have 2.1.7-stable yet, the changes are against this sources. But all changes are in files wich themselves have not changed for quite a time (I think). So if you need changes against 3.0-current, please say so. I will obtain the sources and work with them.
