Re: Disassemble branch delay slot instructions automatically

 Well, it seems to be always the case that something changes under your 
feet during a test cycle. ;-)

 I have thought of it at once, but then concluded copying the whole 
structure again for its just one member would not make much sense and 
would effectively make gdb_print_insn() of questionable use -- the three 
callers could use an explicit sequence of gdb_disassemble_info(); 
gdbarch_print_insn() instead.

 Sigh... -- I always seem to forget about this bit (even though it has 
bitten me a couple of times already).  But wait! -- it is actually not 
needed anymore now that "struct disassemble_info" is not used here.

 For the record -- here's my current version that I am going to commit 
except for possible NEWS entry adjustments.

            Maciej W. Rozycki  <macro@mips.com>

	* disasm.c (gdb_print_insn): Return the number of branch delay
	slot instructions too.
	* disasm.h (gdb_print_insn): Update prototype.
	* printcmd.c (branch_delay_insns): New variable to record the
	number of delay slot instructions after disassembling a branch.
	(print_formatted): Record the number of branch delay slot
	instructions.
	(do_examine): When disassembling, if the last instruction
	disassembled has any branch delay slots, then bump the count so
	that they get disassembled too.
	* tui/tui-disasm.c (tui_disassemble): Update the call to
	gdb_print_insn().
	* NEWS: Document the new behaviour.

gdb/gdbtk/:
2007-06-20  Maciej W. Rozycki  <macro@mips.com>

	* generic/gdbtk-cmds.c (gdbtk_load_asm): Update the call to
	gdb_print_insn().
