The ‘org.gnu.gdb.power.core’ feature is required for PowerPC targets. It should contain registers ‘r0’ through ‘r31’, ‘pc’, ‘msr’, ‘cr’, ‘lr’, ‘ctr’, and ‘xer’. They may be 32-bit or 64-bit depending on the target.
The ‘org.gnu.gdb.power.fpu’ feature is optional. It should contain registers ‘f0’ through ‘f31’ and ‘fpscr’.
The ‘org.gnu.gdb.power.altivec’ feature is optional. It should contain registers ‘vr0’ through ‘vr31’, ‘vscr’, and ‘vrsave’.
The ‘org.gnu.gdb.power.vsx’ feature is optional. It should contain registers ‘vs0h’ through ‘vs31h’. GDB will combine these registers with the floating point registers (‘f0’ through ‘f31’) and the altivec registers (‘vr0’ through ‘vr31’) to present the 128-bit wide registers ‘vs0’ through ‘vs63’, the set of vector registers for POWER7.
The ‘org.gnu.gdb.power.spe’ feature is optional. It should contain registers ‘ev0h’ through ‘ev31h’, ‘acc’, and ‘spefscr’. SPE targets should provide 32-bit registers in ‘org.gnu.gdb.power.core’ and provide the upper halves in ‘ev0h’ through ‘ev31h’. GDB will combine these to present registers ‘ev0’ through ‘ev31’ to the user.
