[bug-mes] [PATCH mescc-tools 0/2] Separate architecture-dependent displacements from architecture-independent positions and sizes.

[Danny Milosavljevic]

This patchset clearly separates architecture-dependent displacements from 
architecture-independent positions and sizes.

Previously, user were supposed to use "%foo>bar" in order to determine sizes.  
For unaligned data structures that is not possible.  Furthermore, after "%" is 
specialized to emit architecture-dependent immediates for branch instructions, 
this would not return the size in bytes anymore (see PATCH 2/2).

Now, it is supported to use "&foo>bar" in order to determine sizes in bytes.

On i686 and on x86_64 the patchset has no observable effect--however, on ARM, 
it will make it possible to use both branches and ELF headers (and debug 
information) in the same output.

Danny Milosavljevic (2):
  Implement "&foo>bar" and "$foo>bar".
  Architectural_displacement: Handle ARM.
