This patch enhances the MSP430 port of GAS so that, if requested, it will
generate warning messages about an instruction that changes the interrupt state not being followed by a NOP instruction. * config/msp430/msp430.c: Replace known mcu array with known msp430 ISA mcu name array. Accept any name for -mmcu option. Add -mz option to warn about missing NOP following an interrupt status change. (check_for_nop): New. (msp430_operands): Emit a warning, if requested, when an interrupt changing instruction is not followed by a NOP. * doc/c-msp430.c: Document -mz option. * gas/msp430/bad.d: Add -mz option. * gas/msp430/bad.s: Add more cases where warnings should be generated. * gas/msp430/bad.l: Add expected warning messages.
