Hi all,

ARMv7-A deprecates ldm instructions that use the SP register in their list
as well as ldm instructions that use both LR and PC. GAS should warn
about them.

This patch adds a warning for these forms.
Tests are added/updated.

Tested check-gas in arm-none-eabi and I've had it sitting in my tree
being tested
with gcc for a few months now.

What do people think?

I think firstly, that we should use as_tsktsk for deprecations, rather
than warnings.

I'm still somewhat concerned about the use of SP in LDM lists.  This is
going to make any legacy ABI code generated by GCC (-mapcs-frame) very
verbose.  I don't expect we will want to fix GCC to avoid this sequence.

The warning will appear only when compiling for armv7-a and later though.
If it's used with -march=armv6 and earlier it's silent.

Kyrill


I'd like opinions from others on this one...

R.

Thanks,
Kyrill
