Re: [patch] Fix PR tdep/12352: Handle str pc, [Rd, #imm] in displaced stepping

Thanks for the explanation.

In my new patch, the test case is revised to execute instructions below
twice,

       str     pc, [sp, #-4]
       ldr     rN, [sp, #-4]
       sub     rN, rN, pc

the first `str' instruction is executed with displaced stepping, while
the second `str' is executed without displaced stepping.  Then, values
of two registers are compared to make sure they should be the same.
