73
74<p>The &lsquo;<samp>org.gnu.gdb.arm.core</samp>&rsquo; feature is required for non-M-profile
75ARM targets.
76It should contain registers &lsquo;<samp>r0</samp>&rsquo; through &lsquo;<samp>r13</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>sp</samp>&rsquo;,
77&lsquo;<samp>lr</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>pc</samp>&rsquo;, and &lsquo;<samp>cpsr</samp>&rsquo;.
78</p>
79<p>For M-profile targets (e.g. Cortex-M3), the &lsquo;<samp>org.gnu.gdb.arm.core</samp>&rsquo;
80feature is replaced by &lsquo;<samp>org.gnu.gdb.arm.m-profile</samp>&rsquo;.  It should contain
81registers &lsquo;<samp>r0</samp>&rsquo; through &lsquo;<samp>r13</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>sp</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>lr</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>pc</samp>&rsquo;,
82and &lsquo;<samp>xpsr</samp>&rsquo;.
83</p>
84<p>The &lsquo;<samp>org.gnu.gdb.arm.fpa</samp>&rsquo; feature is optional.  If present, it
85should contain registers &lsquo;<samp>f0</samp>&rsquo; through &lsquo;<samp>f7</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>fps</samp>&rsquo;.
86</p>
87<p>The &lsquo;<samp>org.gnu.gdb.xscale.iwmmxt</samp>&rsquo; feature is optional.  If present,
88it should contain at least registers &lsquo;<samp>wR0</samp>&rsquo; through &lsquo;<samp>wR15</samp>&rsquo; and
89&lsquo;<samp>wCGR0</samp>&rsquo; through &lsquo;<samp>wCGR3</samp>&rsquo;.  The &lsquo;<samp>wCID</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>wCon</samp>&rsquo;,
90&lsquo;<samp>wCSSF</samp>&rsquo;, and &lsquo;<samp>wCASF</samp>&rsquo; registers are optional.
91</p>
92<p>The &lsquo;<samp>org.gnu.gdb.arm.vfp</samp>&rsquo; feature is optional.  If present, it
93should contain at least registers &lsquo;<samp>d0</samp>&rsquo; through &lsquo;<samp>d15</samp>&rsquo;.  If
94they are present, &lsquo;<samp>d16</samp>&rsquo; through &lsquo;<samp>d31</samp>&rsquo; should also be included.
95<small>GDB</small> will synthesize the single-precision registers from
96halves of the double-precision registers.
97</p>
98<p>The &lsquo;<samp>org.gnu.gdb.arm.neon</samp>&rsquo; feature is optional.  It does not
99need to contain registers; it instructs <small>GDB</small> to display the
100VFP double-precision registers as vectors and to synthesize the
101quad-precision registers from pairs of double-precision registers.
102If this feature is present, &lsquo;<samp>org.gnu.gdb.arm.vfp</samp>&rsquo; must also
103be present and include 32 double-precision registers.
