Re: [patches] Re: [PATCH] RISC-V: Add .insn support


Oops, I've removed 4 operand format support in this version, but I guess it
might
be useful when doing some ISA exploration. I'll restore that and named r4
format in next version.

and I don't support any floating point instruction for .insn directive yet,
one of reason to me is here
is no instruction format name defined in ISA spec.
