Add an assembly snippet for `mips_option_tests' to verify that the
target board can indeed run microMIPS code, support for which is
optional in the MIPS architecture.
Unlike with the `-mips16' option test for the MIPS16 ASE do not rely on
a function attribute to switch to the regular MIPS mode first in the
wrapper arranged by `mips_first_unsupported_option' -- like with the
`nomips16' attribute used there -- because support for regular MIPS code
is optional for microMIPS processors. Consequently microMIPS execution
may be all that the target board supports and therefore whatever the
instruction encoding for the target board -- between the regular MIPS
and the microMIPS sets -- has been selected as the default in board
options, it has to be respected. Instead of a function attribute use
`.set push' and `.set pop' pseudo-ops around `.set micromips' then,
ensuring the test code is assembled using the microMIPS instruction
encoding, regardless of what encoding is used for the surrounding code,
and making sure said surrounding code is consistently assembled.
Use the JRADDIUSP instruction for the actual check as an additional
safety measure, as this hardware instruction is only present in the
microMIPS encoding. The option test otherwise corresponds to the
`-mips16' one, as the ISA bit has to be similarly set and restored.
gcc/testsuite/
* gcc.target/mips/mips.exp (mips_option_tests): Add
`-mmicromips' array element.
---
NB it looks to me like some of the other tests ought to be using `.set
push' and `.set pop' too, as it's generally unsafe to leave ISA/ASE
setting overrides behind at the conclusion of an inline asm for the
assembler to continue using with all the compiler-generated code which
follows.
OK to apply?
