<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:black">Hi,<br>
<br>
I was taking a look at the disassembler on PowerPC64.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="color:black"><br>
<br>
Usually, when we have a branch instruction, it shows the address of the target. <br>
For example (function “ret1” in X86_64):<br>
<span style="background:white">GDB: 0x000000000040051d <+45>: callq 0x4004e0 <ret1> </span><br>
<span style="background:white">LLDB: 0x40051d <+45>: callq 0x4004e0 ; ret1 </span><br>
<br>
However, LLDB doesn’t do that in PPC64:<br>
<span style="background:white">GDB: 0x0000000010000658 <+72>: bl 0x10000670 <ret1> </span><br>
<span style="background:white">LLDB: 0x10000658 <+72>: bl .+67108760 </span><br>
<br>
<span style="background:white">(Note that the comment "; ret1" is missing).<br>
<br>
</span>I noticed that LLDB on PPC64 is the only one that prints “.+” and the offset (which is unsigned in this case, that’s why it shows that strange number).
<br>
Why is it like this? Is there any special reason? <br>
I was thinking about changing it and make it look more like the other ones, but first I want to know if that’s ok or if it should stay the way it is for some reason.<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>
Ana Julia <o:p></o:p></span></p>
