That's both very unexpected and cool! I tried your patches on top of current QEMU git master and it: ?a) Builds for ARC ?b) Very simple code really works! I was able to single-step with GDB through program as simple as: --------------------->8--------------------- .global _start _start: mov r0, 1 mov r1, 2 mov r1, r0 --------------------->8--------------------- That's what I saw in GDB: --------------------->8--------------------- (gdb) disassemble? Dump of assembler code for function _start: => 0x00000100 <+0>: mov r0,0x1 ???0x00000104 <+4>: mov r1,0x2 ???0x00000108 <+8>: mov r1,r0 End of assembler dump. (gdb) p $r0 $1 = 0 (gdb) stepi 0x00000104 in _start () (gdb) p $r0 $2 = 1 (gdb) stepi 0x00000108 in _start () (gdb) p $r1 $3 = 2 (gdb) stepi 0x0000010c in ?? () (gdb) p $r1 $4 = 1 --------------------->8--------------------- So again this is very promising even though a lot is essentially missing from this very first implementation. Anyways IMHO it would be good to have these patches accepted so people may start playing with that stuff adding missing things one by one. Let me know if you need any help from my side.
