From: Andrew Burgess Date: Fri, 20 Oct 2023 10:15:51 +0000 (+0100) Subject: gdb: error if /r and /b are used with disassemble command X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f3a8a979bbed4f9462761638a57136fcb38bad68;p=binutils-gdb.git gdb: error if /r and /b are used with disassemble command The disassembler gained a new /b flag in this commit: commit d4ce49b7ac077a9882d6a5e689e260300045ca88 Date: Tue Jun 21 20:23:35 2022 +0100 gdb: disassembler opcode display formatting The /b and /r flags result in the instruction opcodes displayed in different formats, so it's not possible to have both at the same time. Currently the /b flag overrides the /r flag. We have a similar situation with the /m and /s flags, but here, if the user tries to use both flags then they will get an error. I think the error is clearer, so in this commit I propose that we add an error if /r and /b are both used. Obviously this change breaks backwards compatibility. I don't have a compelling argument for why we should make the change beyond my feeling that it was a mistake not to add this error from the start, and that the new behaviour is better.
