Re: v850 sim noncompile (was: Re: Add v850 linker relaxation)


Hi Andrew, Hi Daniel,


The patch doesn't so much remove left over redundancy as delete an
entire ISA:

Right - the V850EA ISA never made it out into the real world.  So
there is no point in having support for it in the code.  I deleted all
the references to it in the binutils sources, but I forgot to clean up
the simulator until Hans-Peter prompted me.
Sigh!

Within GDB, if someone wishes to remove an ISA or other body of code, they first propose it on a relevant list. Then, if there is no objection, the relevant code is either yanked or (more typically) marked as obsolete.

Can you point me at the original posting (which I guess just went just to binutils).

Anyway, this change needs to be mentioned in the gdb/NEWS file. Look for ``Removed'' for other examples.

Andrew
