Bug ID: 24982
Summary: m68k tdiv instructions assembled incorrectly
Product: binutils
Version: 2.33 (HEAD)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: P2
Component: gas
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org

m68k-opc.c patch
Motorola SVR4 as uses "tdiv" as an alias for a 32-bit divide operator (32-bit
operand, 32-bit divider, get 32-bit remainder and quotient). In other words,
"tdivs" is a synonym of "divsll" and "tdivu" of "divull".
However, the current translation in opc-m68k.c translates them to "divsl" and
"divul", which are the 64-bit operand, 32-bit divider, flavour. This
translation has been incorrect since at least 1995 since it is already
incorrect in the sourceware CVS import. Of course, the poor choice of mnemonics
(div{s,u}l being 32/32 and div{s,u} being 64/32) probably led to that error.
This probably went unnoticed because not much code, outside of Motorola's own
code, has been written using the "tdiv" mnemonics; and such code was fed to
Motorola's as which does not suffer from that bug.
Trivial diff attached.
