Therefore it is #if 0'd out. Effect on performance is some, for backtraces of functions with a few arguments each. For functions with many arguments, the stack frames don't fit in the cache blocks, which makes the cache less helpful. Disabling the cache is a big performance win for fetching large structures, because the cache code fetched data in 16-byte chunks. */ #define LINE_SIZE_POWER (4) /* eg 1<<3 == 8 */ #define LINE_SIZE (1 << LINE_SIZE_POWER) /* Number of cache blocks */ #define DCACHE_SIZE (64) struct dcache_block { struct dcache_block *next, *last; unsigned int addr; /* Address for which data is recorded. */ int data[LINE_SIZE / sizeof (int)]; }; typedef int (*memxferfunc) PARAMS((CORE_ADDR memaddr, unsigned char *myaddr, int len)); typedef struct { /* Function to actually read the target memory. */ memxferfunc read_memory; /* Function to actually write the target memory */ memxferfunc write_memory; /* free list */ struct dcache_block dcache_free; /* in use list */ struct dcache_block dcache_valid; /* The cache itself. */ struct dcache_block *the_cache; } DCACHE; /* Using the data cache DCACHE return the contents of the word at address ADDR in the remote machine. */ int dcache_fetch PARAMS((DCACHE *dcache, CORE_ADDR addr)); /* Flush DCACHE. */ void dcache_flush PARAMS((DCACHE *dcache)); /* Initialize DCACHE. */ DCACHE *dcache_init PARAMS((memxferfunc reading, memxferfunc writing)); /* Write the word at ADDR both in the data cache and in the remote machine. */ void dcache_poke PARAMS((DCACHE *dcache, CORE_ADDR addr, int data)); #endif /* DCACHE_H */
