regcache (Re: GDB respin)

Can someone post backtraces?

Er, this should shouldn't happen. Backtrace?

Again, the caller is pretty messed up.

The problem on x86-64 is probably caused by the regbuf vs. regcache usage. This is a part of the patch that broke the testsuite:

If I comment out last three lines (those return_value related), the testsuite performs much better. But all the other lines seem have some influence on the results.

I'm about to convert x86-64 target to use regcache, but am not sure what must be done for it. Could someone please briefly explain me what is regcache all about and what must be changed in order to have the target regcache-compilant?

As I was looking to the sources I believe, that only x86_64_store_return_value() and x86_64_extract_return_value() must be modified. Am I right or not?

Thanks.
