Re: Broken SH2a patches


> I don't like the name 'fake', but I'm not sure what else to suggest. Perhaps

sh2+, sh2e+, sh2++ and sh2e++ (or sh2+shift, sh2e+shift+fsqrt,
sh2+shift+pref and sh2e+double). Of course '+' won't work in C ... hmmm.

Unfortunately a lot of libraries etc. will end up labelled with these 'fake'
architectures so it is important that the name means something.


When there are only one ot two simple features added, it seems most future-proof to
just enumerate them. I.e. the 'fake1' adds dynamic shift to SH2, 'fake2' adds dynamic shift and
fsqrt.s to SH2E, 'fake3' adds dynamic shift and prefetch to SH2.


'fake4', however, adds dynamic shift, fsqrt.s, prefetch, and a plethora of double precision arithmetic
instructions and ancillary instructions to that. So I think we better name that one from the
intersection that generates it, i.e. SH4_SH2A .
You can probably draw this more nicely...
