Yes please. If that works for you, I will probably merge those bits in the next pipeline release, after some additional testing. 83xx may take various sorts of alignment traps, and there is no reason to suffer secondary mode switches for basic instruction emulation followed by a simple IP fixup. #2 should definitely be better in some cases, for instance when the cause of the alignment trap requires FP emulation. > Of course, now I have the problem that I don't know which one is > better... :p Well, in terms of voodoo programming, the latest one is simply better because it changes more lines of code, which gives much more opportunities to break things. Ok, let's look cool and jaunty: let's pick #2. > > Andreas -- Philippe. _______________________________________________ Xenomai-help mailing list Xenomai-help@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/xenomai-help
