Thanks for reviewing. I'll commit two patches soon.
Yes, for GCC, privileged extensions (and version numbers) are not
important in general (unless toolchain conventions create privileged
built-in functions).
Intents of my two small patch sets are:
1. Allow inline assembly to use new/privileged extensions.
2. Allow/disallow same -march for both CC and AS (as possible).
3. (As long as no major compatibility breakage happens),
make both GCC and Binutils faithful to the specification
and the current status (that would also improve interoperability).
Hmm, I generally agree with your opinion and I made a board file for
DejaGnu (running qemu-riscv64) to run "make check-gcc
RUNTESTFLAGS='--target_board=riscv-sim riscv.exp'" because it already
contains many execute tests (and annoys me if I don't do that).
What I'm not sure is, what kind of regression tests we need?
(In my mind)
Level 1: Make nearly empty program with specific -march (and optionally
-mabi?) and make sure that it works.
Level 2: Make a program with inline assembly and execute tests with
specific configurations (with specific -march and -mabi)
[I'm not sure how to write **and optionally execute tests**]
I would like to hear your thoughts.
Thanks,
Tsukasa
