Sounds good. I would just suggest making the warning a comment so that the output of objdump still can be run through gas. e.g. 00000000 <.text>: 0: 002000b0 strheq r0, [r0], -r0 ; UNPREDICTABLE On another note, do you have any links explaining the hows and whys of UNPREDICTABLEs? How did you know "it is the behaviour of the instruction that cannot be specified rather than the entire instruction being undefined" ? cs -- http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10924 ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. _______________________________________________ bug-binutils mailing list bug-binutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-binutils
