Hi Matthew,

This patch includes the instruction being aliased in the list of
alternatives which is searched when considering which form to use.

Are there no tests that could demonstrate this problem and your solution to it ?


I don't there's any test that could be done using the existing instructions. The aliasing change is needed for the REV64 alias of the REV instruction (https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2015-11/msg00222.html) patch. That includes tests that check that the instruction REV is preferred over its aliases so are also a test of this patch (which should probably have been sent as part of the BFM, REV patch set).
