Subject: [PATCHv3 1/3] fix matching errors for overwritten registers in x86 CFI generation script
Date: Tue, 13 Oct 2015 13:28:50 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1444735732-12265-1-git-send-email-alexinbeijing@gmail.com> (raw)

thanks to R. Felker for noticing 2 separate problems:

- binary ops like ADD, AND, etc. overwrite the 2nd operand, not the 1st.
  this confusion resulted from mixing up Intel and GNU asm syntax.

- the regexps used to identify clobbered registers would erroneously match
  index registers. in other words, the following asm:

    mov $0, (%eax,%ebx,4)

...would cause EBX to be considered as overwritten, which might prevent a
debugger from displaying a variable's value in a higher stack frame.
---

Here is the latest iteration. I have merged 2 previously separate commits, and
fixed up the matching of registers (for the purpose of identifying overwritten
registers).

As usual, thanks for the feedback. AD
