Document m68k floating point feature correspondence
From what I can tell, The m68k floating point target feature should apparently always be called "org.gnu.gdb.coldfire.fp" -- even when the primary feature is not "coldfire", because m68k_gdbarch_init only checks for this feature when assigning register numbers. However, the floating point registers are expected to match what gdb thinks are the register sizes for the primary feature. For example, if the main feature is "coldfire", then the floating point registers should be 64 bits. See this note for some an instance of this confusion: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2017-06/msg04564.html This patch documents the oddity. Let me know what you think. An alternate approach here might be to make gdb adapt to the register sizes as actually reported. I'm not sure if this makes sense or not. gdb/doc/ChangeLog 2020-01-26 Tom Tromey <tromey@adacore.com> * gdb.texinfo (M68K Features): Document floating-point feature correspondence.
