s390: Optionally print instruction description in disassembly
Print instruction description as comment in disassembly with s390
architecture specific option "insndesc":
- For objdump it can be enabled with option "-M insndesc"
- In gdb it can be enabled with "set disassembler-options insndesc"
Since comments are not column aligned the output can enhanced for
readability by postprocessing using a filter such as "expand":
... | expand -t 8,16,24,32,40,80
Or when using in combination with objdump option --visualize-jumps:
... | expand | sed -e 's/ *#/\t#/' | expand -t 1,80
Note that the instruction descriptions add about 128 KB to s390-opc.o:
s390-opc.o without instruction descriptions: 216368 bytes
s390-opc.o with instruction descriptions : 348432 bytes
binutils/
* NEWS: Mention new s390-specific disassembler option
"insndesc".
include/
* opcode/s390.h (struct s390_opcode): Add field to hold
instruction description.
opcodes/
* s390-mkopc.c: Copy instruction description from s390-opc.txt
into generated operation code table s390-opc.tab.
* s390-opc.c (s390_opformats): Provide NULL as description in
.insn pseudo-mnemonics opcode table.
* s390-dis.c: Add s390-specific disassembler option "insndesc"
and optionally print the instruction description as comment in
the disassembly when it is specified.
gas/
* testsuite/gas/s390/s390.exp: Add new test disassembly test
case "zarch-insndesc".
* testsuite/gas/s390/zarch-insndesc.s: New test case for s390-
specific disassembler option "insndesc".
* testsuite/gas/s390/zarch-insndesc.d: Likewise.
