[ gas/ChangeLog ]
* config/tc-mips.c (ISA_SUPPORTS_SMARTMIPS): Rename.
(ISA_SUPPORTS_DSP_ASE, ISA_SUPPORTS_MT_ASE, ISA_HAS_64BIT_FPRS,
ISA_HAS_MXHC1): New macros.
(HAVE_32BIT_FPRS): Use ISA_HAS_64BIT_FPRS instead of
ISA_HAS_64BIT_REGS. Formatting fixes. Improved comments.
(mips_cpu_info): Change to use combined ASE/IS_ISA flag.
(MIPS_CPU_IS_ISA, MIPS_CPU_ASE_SMARTMIPS, MIPS_CPU_ASE_DSP,
MIPS_CPU_ASE_MT, MIPS_CPU_ASE_MIPS3D, MIPS_CPU_ASE_MDMX): New defines.
(mips_after_parse_args): Change default handling of float register
size to account for 32bit code with 64bit FP. Better sanity checking
of ISA/ASE/ABI option combinations.
(s_mipsset): Support switching of GPR and FPR sizes via
.set {g,f}p={32,64,default}. Better sanity checking for .set ASE
options.
(mips_elf_final_processing): We should record the use of 64bit FP
registers in 32bit code but we don't, because ELF header flags are
a scarce ressource.
(mips_cpu_info_table): Add ASE flags for CPUs with mandatory ASE
extensions. Add 4ksc, 4kec, 4kem, 4kep, 4ksd, m4kp, 24kec, 24kef,
24kex, 34kc, 34kf, 34kx, 25kf CPU definitions.
(mips_cpu_info_from_isa): Use MIPS_CPU_IS_ISA.
* doc/c-mips.texi: Document .set {g,f}p={32,64,default}. Document
missing -march options. Document .set arch=CPU. Move .set smartmips
to ASE page. Use @code for .set FOO examples.
[ gas/testsuite/Changelog ]
* gas/mips/mips-gp32-fp64-pic.d, mips/mips-gp32-fp64.d,
gas/mips/mips-gp64-fp32-pic.d, gas/mips/mips-gp64-fp32.l,
gas/mips/mips-gp64-fp64.d: Adjust test cases to the changes assembler
output.
* gas/mips/mips-gp32-fp64.l, gas/mips/mips-gp64-fp32-pic.l: New files,
catch assembler warnings.
