AFAIK, binutils moved to GPL 3. Therefore I don't expect that QEMU will update to upstream in the next years. We'll have to maintain the code which we have. Try "git log *-dis.c" or "gitk *-dis.c": there are already lots of more trivial changes which got applied to the disassembler files. => The patch should be applied. Regards, Stefan
Here is some additional information: binutils switched from GPL 2 to GPL 3 with version 2.18: Changes in 2.18: * The binutils sources are now released under version 3 of the GNU General Public License. sparc-dis.c is already based on 2.17, so we won't get anything newer. Even the latest version still uses the redundant NULL check, so I can send my patch to the binutils maintainers, too. Regards, Stefan
