[Qemu-devel] [PULL 06/18] target/arm/translate.h: expand comment on DISAS_EXIT
Posted by Peter Maydell 7 years, 9 months ago
From: Alex Bennée <alex.bennee@linaro.org>

We already have an exit condition, DISAS_UPDATE which will exit the
run-loop. Expand on the difference with DISAS_EXIT in the comments.
