<p><a name="index-target-descriptions_002c-PowerPC-features-3668"></a>
The &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">org.gnu.gdb.power.core</span></samp>&rsquo; feature is required for PowerPC
targets. It should contain registers &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">r0</span></samp>&rsquo; through &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">r31</span></samp>&rsquo;,
&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">pc</span></samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">msr</span></samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">cr</span></samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">lr</span></samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">ctr</span></samp>&rsquo;, and
&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">xer</span></samp>&rsquo;. They may be 32-bit or 64-bit depending on the target.
<p>The &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">org.gnu.gdb.power.fpu</span></samp>&rsquo; feature is optional. It should
contain registers &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">f0</span></samp>&rsquo; through &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">f31</span></samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">fpscr</span></samp>&rsquo;.
<p>The &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">org.gnu.gdb.power.altivec</span></samp>&rsquo; feature is optional. It should
contain registers &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">vr0</span></samp>&rsquo; through &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">vr31</span></samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">vscr</span></samp>&rsquo;, and
&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">vrsave</span></samp>&rsquo;. <span class="sc">gdb</span> will define pseudo-registers &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">v0</span></samp>&rsquo;
through &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">v31</span></samp>&rsquo; as aliases for the corresponding &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">vrX</span></samp>&rsquo;
registers.
<p>The &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">org.gnu.gdb.power.vsx</span></samp>&rsquo; feature is optional. It should
contain registers &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">vs0h</span></samp>&rsquo; through &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">vs31h</span></samp>&rsquo;. <span class="sc">gdb</span> will
combine these registers with the floating point registers (&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">f0</span></samp>&rsquo;
through &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">f31</span></samp>&rsquo;) and the altivec registers (&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">vr0</span></samp>&rsquo; through
&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">vr31</span></samp>&rsquo;) to present the 128-bit wide registers &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">vs0</span></samp>&rsquo; through
&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">vs63</span></samp>&rsquo;, the set of vector-scalar registers for POWER7.
Therefore, this feature requires both &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">org.gnu.gdb.power.fpu</span></samp>&rsquo; and
&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">org.gnu.gdb.power.altivec</span></samp>&rsquo;.
<p>The &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">org.gnu.gdb.power.spe</span></samp>&rsquo; feature is optional. It should
contain registers &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">ev0h</span></samp>&rsquo; through &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">ev31h</span></samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">acc</span></samp>&rsquo;, and
&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">spefscr</span></samp>&rsquo;. SPE targets should provide 32-bit registers in
&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">org.gnu.gdb.power.core</span></samp>&rsquo; and provide the upper halves in
&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">ev0h</span></samp>&rsquo; through &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">ev31h</span></samp>&rsquo;. <span class="sc">gdb</span> will combine
these to present registers &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">ev0</span></samp>&rsquo; through &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">ev31</span></samp>&rsquo; to the
user.
<p>The &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">org.gnu.gdb.power.ppr</span></samp>&rsquo; feature is optional. It should
contain the 64-bit register &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">ppr</span></samp>&rsquo;.
<p>The &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">org.gnu.gdb.power.dscr</span></samp>&rsquo; feature is optional. It should
contain the 64-bit register &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">dscr</span></samp>&rsquo;.
<p>The &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">org.gnu.gdb.power.tar</span></samp>&rsquo; feature is optional. It should
contain the 64-bit register &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">tar</span></samp>&rsquo;.
<p>The &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">org.gnu.gdb.power.ebb</span></samp>&rsquo; feature is optional. It should
contain registers &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">bescr</span></samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">ebbhr</span></samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">ebbrr</span></samp>&rsquo;, all
64-bit wide.
<p>The &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">org.gnu.gdb.power.linux.pmu</span></samp>&rsquo; feature is optional. It should
contain registers &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">mmcr0</span></samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">mmcr2</span></samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">siar</span></samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">sdar</span></samp>&rsquo;
and &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">sier</span></samp>&rsquo;, all 64-bit wide. This is the subset of the isa 2.07
server PMU registers provided by <span class="sc">gnu</span>/Linux.
<p>The &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">org.gnu.gdb.power.htm.spr</span></samp>&rsquo; feature is optional. It should
contain registers &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">tfhar</span></samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">texasr</span></samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">tfiar</span></samp>&rsquo;, all
64-bit wide.
<p>The &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">org.gnu.gdb.power.htm.core</span></samp>&rsquo; feature is optional. It should
contain the checkpointed general-purpose registers &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">cr0</span></samp>&rsquo; through
&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">cr31</span></samp>&rsquo;, as well as the checkpointed registers &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">clr</span></samp>&rsquo; and
&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">cctr</span></samp>&rsquo;. These registers may all be either 32-bit or 64-bit
depending on the target. It should also contain the checkpointed
registers &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">ccr</span></samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">cxer</span></samp>&rsquo;, which should both be 32-bit
wide.
<p>The &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">org.gnu.gdb.power.htm.fpu</span></samp>&rsquo; feature is optional. It should
contain the checkpointed 64-bit floating-point registers &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">cf0</span></samp>&rsquo;
through &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">cf31</span></samp>&rsquo;, as well as the checkpointed 64-bit register
&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">cfpscr</span></samp>&rsquo;.
<p>The &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">org.gnu.gdb.power.htm.altivec</span></samp>&rsquo; feature is optional. It
should contain the checkpointed altivec registers &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">cvr0</span></samp>&rsquo; through
&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">cvr31</span></samp>&rsquo;, all 128-bit wide. It should also contain the
checkpointed registers &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">cvscr</span></samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">cvrsave</span></samp>&rsquo;, both 32-bit
wide.
<p>The &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">org.gnu.gdb.power.htm.vsx</span></samp>&rsquo; feature is optional. It should
contain registers &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">cvs0h</span></samp>&rsquo; through &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">cvs31h</span></samp>&rsquo;. <span class="sc">gdb</span>
will combine these registers with the checkpointed floating point
registers (&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">cf0</span></samp>&rsquo; through &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">cf31</span></samp>&rsquo;) and the checkpointed
altivec registers (&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">cvr0</span></samp>&rsquo; through &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">cvr31</span></samp>&rsquo;) to present the
128-bit wide checkpointed vector-scalar registers &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">cvs0</span></samp>&rsquo; through
&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">cvs63</span></samp>&rsquo;. Therefore, this feature requires both
&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">org.gnu.gdb.power.htm.altivec</span></samp>&rsquo; and
&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">org.gnu.gdb.power.htm.fpu</span></samp>&rsquo;.
<p>The &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">org.gnu.gdb.power.htm.ppr</span></samp>&rsquo; feature is optional. It should
contain the 64-bit checkpointed register &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">cppr</span></samp>&rsquo;.

<p>The &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">org.gnu.gdb.power.htm.tar</span></samp>&rsquo; feature is optional. It should
contain the 64-bit checkpointed register &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">ctar</span></samp>&rsquo;.
