gas: detect DCTI couples in sparc
Before SPARC V9 the effect of having a delayed branch instruction in the
delay slot of a conditional delayed branch was undefined.
In SPARC V9 DCTI couples are well defined.
However, starting with the UltraSPARC Architecture 2005, DCTI
couples (of all kind) are deprecated and should not be used, as they may
be slow or behave differently to what the programmer expects.
This patch adds a new command line option --dcti-couples-detect to `as',
disabled by default, that makes the assembler to warn the user if an
unpredictable DCTI couple is found. Tests and documentation are
included.
gas/ChangeLog:
