Oops, thanks.

There's one now, thanks.

+
+@subsection Types
+
+Any register's value is a collection of bits which @value{GDBN} must
+interpret.  The default interpretation is a two's complement integer,
+but other types can be requested by name in the register description.
+Some predefined types are provided by @value{GDBN} (@pxref{Predefined
+Target Types}), and the description can define additional composite types.
+
+Each type element must have an @samp{id} attribute, which gives
+a unique (within the containing @samp{<feature>}) name to the type.
+Types must be defined before they are used.
+
+@cindex <vector>
+Some targets offer vector registers, which can be treated as arrays
+of scalar elements.  These types are written as @samp{<vector>} elements,
+specifying the array element type, @var{type}, and the number of elements,
+@var{count}:

+@cindex <union>
+If a register's value is usefully viewed in multiple ways, define it
+with a union type containing the useful representations.  The
+@samp{<union>} element contains one or more @samp{<field>} elements,
+each of which has a @var{name} and a @var{type}:
+
+@smallexample
+<union id="@var{id}">
+  <field name="@var{name}" type="@var{type}"/>
+  @dots{}
+</union>
+@end smallexample
+
+@subsection Registers
+@cindex <reg>
+
+Each register is represented as an element with this form:

+@smallexample
+<reg name="@var{name}"
+     bitsize="@var{size}"
+     @r{[}regnum="@var{num}"@r{]}

+@item regnum
+The register's number.  If omitted, a register's number is one greater
+than that of the previous register (either in the current feature or in
+a preceeding feature); the first register in the target description
+defaults to zero.  This register number is used to read or write
+the register; e.g.@: it is used in the remote @code{p} and @code{P}
+packets, and registers appear in the @code{g} and @code{G} packets
+in order of increasing register number.
+
+@item save-restore
+Whether the register should be preserved across inferior function
+calls; this must be either @code{yes} or @code{no}.  The default is
+@code{yes}, which is appropriate for most registers except for
+some system control registers; this is not related to the target's
+ABI.
+
+@item type
+The type of the register.  @var{type} may be a predefined type, a type
+defined in the current feature, or one of the special types @code{int}
+and @code{float}.  @code{int} is an integer type of the correct size
+for @var{bitsize}, and @code{float} is a floating point type (in the
+architecture's normal floating point format) of the correct size for
+@var{bitsize}.  The default is @code{int}.
+
+@item group
+The register group to which this register belongs.  @var{group} must
+be either @code{general}, @code{float}, or @code{vector}.  If no
+@var{group} is specified, @value{GDBN} will not display the register
+in @code{info registers}.

+Type definitions in the self-description can build up composite types

+@itemx uint32
+@itemx uint64
+Unsigned integer types holding the specified number of bits.
+
+@item code_ptr
+@itemx data_ptr
+Pointers to unspecified code and data.  The program counter and
+any dedicated return address register may be marked as code
+pointers; printing a code pointer converts it into a symbolic
+address.  The stack pointer and any dedicated address registers
+may be marked as data pointers.
+
+@item arm_fpa_ext
+The 12-byte extended precision format used by ARM FPA registers.
+
+@end table
+
+@node Standard Target Features
+@section Standard Target Features
+@cindex target descriptions, standard features
+
+A target description must contain either no registers or all the
+target's registers.  If the description contains no registers, then
+@value{GDBN} will assume a default register layout, selected based on
+the architecture.  If the description contains any registers, the
+default layout will not be used; the standard registers must be
+described in the target description, in such a way that @value{GDBN}
+can recognize them.
+
+This is accomplished by giving specific names to feature elements
+which contain standard registers.  @value{GDBN} will look for features
+with those names and verify that they contain the expected registers;
+if any known feature is missing required registers, or if any required
+feature is missing, @value{GDBN} will reject the target
+description.  You can add additional registers to any of the
+standard features --- @value{GDBN} will display them just as if
+they were added to an unrecognized feature.
+
+This section lists the known features and their expected contents.
+Sample XML documents for these features are included in the
+@value{GDBN} source tree, in the directory @file{gdb/features}.
+
+Names recognized by @value{GDBN} should include the name of the
+company or organization which selected the name, and the overall
+architecture to which the feature applies; so e.g.@: the feature
+containing ARM core registers is named @samp{org.gnu.gdb.arm.core}.
+
+@subsection ARM Features
+@cindex target descriptions, ARM features
+
+The @samp{org.gnu.gdb.arm.core} feature is required for ARM targets.
+It should contain registers @samp{r0} through @samp{r13}, @samp{sp},
+@samp{lr}, @samp{pc}, and @samp{cpsr}.
+
+The @samp{org.gnu.gdb.arm.fpa} feature is optional.  If present, it
+should contain registers @samp{f0} through @samp{f7} and @samp{fps}.

+The target architecture definition (@pxref{Target Architecture Definition})

+directly.
+
+For details on writing, automatically supplying, and manually selecting
+target descriptions, see @ref{Target Descriptions, , , gdb,
+Debugging with @value{GDBN}}.  This section will cover some related

+@section Target Descriptions Implementation
+@cindex target descriptions, implementation
+
+Before @value{GDBN} connects to a new target, or runs a new program on
+an existing target, it discards any existing target description and
+reverts to a default gdbarch.  Then, after connecting, it looks for a
+new target description by calling @code{target_find_description}.
+
+A description may come from a user specified file (XML), the remote
+@samp{qXfer:features:read} packet (also XML), or from any custom
+@code{to_read_description} routine in the target vector.  For instance,
+the remote target supports guessing whether a MIPS target is 32-bit or
+64-bit based on the size of the @samp{g} packet.
+
+If any target description is found, @value{GDBN} creates a new gdbarch
+incorporating the description by calling @code{gdbarch_update_p}.  Any
+@samp{<architecture>} element is handled first, to determine which
+architecture's gdbarch initialization routine is called to create the
+new architecture.  Then the initialization routine is called, and has
+a chance to adjust the constructed architecture based on the contents
+of the target description.  For instance, it can recognize any
+properties set by a @code{to_read_description} routine.  Also
+see @ref{Adding Target Described Register Support}.
+
+@node Adding Target Described Register Support
+@section Adding Target Described Register Support
+@cindex target descriptions, adding register support
+
+Target descriptions can report additional registers specific to an
+instance of the target.  But it takes a little work in the architecture
+specific routines to support this.
+
+A target description must either have no registers or a complete
+set---this avoids complexity in trying to merge standard registers
+with the target defined registers.  It is the architecture's
+responsibility to validate that a description with registers has
+everything it needs.  To keep architecture code simple, the same
+mechanism is used to assign fixed internal register numbers to
+standard registers.
+
+If @code{tdesc_has_registers} returns 1, the description contains
+registers.  The architecture's @code{gdbarch_init} routine should:
+
+@itemize @bullet
+
+@item
+Call @code{tdesc_data_alloc} to allocate storage, early, before
+searching for a matching gdbarch or allocating a new one.
+
+@item
+Use @code{tdesc_find_feature} to locate standard features by name.
+
+@item
+Use @code{tdesc_numbered_register} and @code{tdesc_numbered_register_choices}
+to locate the expected registers in the standard features.
+
+@item
+Return @code{NULL} if a required feature is missing, or if any standard
+feature is missing expected registers.  This will produce a warning that
+the description was incomplete.
+
+@item
+Free the allocated data before returning, unless @code{tdesc_use_registers}
+is called.
+
+@item
+Call @code{set_gdbarch_num_regs} as usual, with a number higher than any
+fixed number passed to @code{tdesc_numbered_register}.
+
+@item
+Call @code{tdesc_use_registers} after creating a new gdbarch, before
+returning it.
+
+@end itemize
+
+After @code{tdesc_use_registers} has been called, the architecture's
+@code{register_name}, @code{register_type}, and @code{register_reggroup_p}
+routines will not be called; that information will be taken from
+the target description.  @code{num_regs} may be increased to account
+for any additional registers in the description.
+
+Pseudo-registers require some extra care:
+
+@itemize @bullet
+
+@item
+Using @code{tdesc_numbered_register} allows the architecture to give
+constant register numbers to standard architectural registers, e.g.@:
+as an @code{enum} in @file{@var{arch}-tdep.h}.  But because
+pseudo-registers are always numbered above @code{num_regs},
+which may be increased by the description, constant numbers
+can not be used for pseudos.  They must be numbered relative to
+@code{num_regs} instead.
+
+@item
+The description will not describe pseudo-registers, so the
+architecture must call @code{set_tdesc_pseudo_register_name},
+@code{set_tdesc_pseudo_register_type}, and
+@code{set_tdesc_pseudo_register_reggroup_p} to supply routines
+describing pseudo registers.  These routines will be passed
+internal register numbers, so the same routines used for the
+gdbarch equivalents are usually suitable.
