We do unless the architecture is pre-PowerPC, in which case the old
non-generic code gets activated. This is the relevant part of the patch:
+ if (rs6000)
+ {
+ set_gdbarch_use_generic_dummy_frames (gdbarch, 0);
[...]
}
+ else
+ {
+ set_gdbarch_use_generic_dummy_frames (gdbarch, 1);
The rs6000 variable is 1 for pre-PowerPC architectures and 0 otherwise.
So, is it still okay to apply this patch? As I mentioned in an earlier
message, I'd really like to check this in as-is and deal with
non-showstopper issues via follow-on patches rather than modifying this
patch and reposting the whole 125k.
