Consider pc==0x100:

0x100   b 0x104

The uncondtional not-annulled branch will go to 0x104, which is the next
instruction anyway. do_branch() will leave dc->pc and dc->npc both set to
0x104. This causes gdb to have a problem when single stepping. It will be
stuck. QEMU will execute past this somehow, but I'm not sure with what side
effect. It seems to me the following patch will fix this:

diff --git a/target/sparc/translate.c b/target/sparc/translate.c

              dc->npc = target;
              tcg_gen_mov_tl(cpu_pc, cpu_npc);
          }

I apologize if I am missing something with this assessment.

Hi Steven,

Thanks for the patch! In principle the patch looks good, although sadly I don't currently have access to real hardware to verify this. Also you'll need to add a Signed-off-by tag in order for your patch to be applied (see https://wiki.qemu.org/Contribute/SubmitAPatch for more details).


ATB,

Mark.
