RE: PATCH : H8300 GDB simulator

["Anil Paranjape" <AnilP1 at KPITCummins dot com>]

Hi Michael,

Please find following source code in C as a testcase for H8 simulator bug,

*********************************************************************************
int main()
{
	unsigned char test[10];
	unsigned short *pWord;
	pWord = (unsigned short *) &test[1];
	memset ( test, 0, sizeof(test));
	*pWord = 0x1234;
	printf ("Test[0] = 0x%02x\r\n", test[0] );
	printf ("Test[1] = 0x%02x\r\n", test[1] );
	return ( 0 );
}
**********************************************************************************

Simulator output before patch,
Test[0] = 0x00
Test[1] = 0x12

Simulator output after patch and same as in case of H/W,
Test[0] = 0x12
Test[1] = 0x34

Regards,
Anil

If an attempt is made to access word or longword data at an odd address, no address error occurs but the least significant bit of the address is regarded as 0, so the access starts at the preceding address. This is the case in actual H/W.

This sounds good (though I hope one of the folks with more knowledge of
the architecture will verify it).  One request -- could you include a
testcase for the sim testsuite, such that it will fail before your mods,
and pass after?  Existing tests (for examples) are at
sim/testsuite/sim/h8300.

Thanks,
Michael
