[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 5/7] arm: Move condition-failed codepath generation out of if()
Posted by Peter Maydell 8 years, 10 months ago
Move the code to generate the "condition failed" instruction
codepath out of the if (singlestepping) {} else {}. This
will allow adding support for handling a new is_jmp type
which can't be neatly split into "singlestepping case"
versus "not singlestepping case".

This makes also the code more readable :)

I'm custom to think "let's change that and think how to protect the code 
to help the next one who will modify it" and wonder if it isn't safer to 
define:

const bool singlestepping;

singlestepping = cs->singlestep_enabled || dc->ss_active;

Then use:

if unlikely(singlestepping)

At line 11993 and here, what do you think?

Either way:

I think we could do this with a function (that takes the DisasContext*);
then we can use it in the new gen_bx_excret_final_code() too.

I'll add an extra patch to the set in v2 that does that.
