Hello
There is a bunch of New VLE Instructions for Improving Interrupt
Handler Efficiency which are described in
https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/engineering-bulletin/EB696.pdf. And
problem is that this document has 2 writings of multiple load
instructions:
e_ldmvgprw vs e_lmvgprw
Also here is another document
https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/reference-manual/e200z760RM.pdf which
describes the same instructions but only e_lm*.
In current PPC opcodes we have only e_ldm*. But it seems that a lot of
developers uses e_lm* in their software and it fails with GAS. Other
compilers also recognizes only e_lm*.
What do you think about it ? Is it better to fix current names or add aliases ?
