Annotation of qemu/target-alpha/STATUS, revision 1.1

1.1     ! root        1: (to be completed)
        !             2: 
        !             3: Alpha emulation structure:
        !             4: cpu.h           : CPU definitions globally exported
        !             5: exec.h          : CPU definitions used only for translated code execution
        !             6: helper.c        : helpers that can be called either by the translated code
        !             7:                   or the Qemu core, including the exception handler.
        !             8: op.c            : Alpha dedicated micro-operations used by the code translator
        !             9: op_helper.c     : helpers that can be called only from micro-operations
        !            10: op_helper.h     : micro-operations helpers prototypes
        !            11: op_helper_mem.h : micro-operations templates
        !            12:                   for load and stores accesses helpers
        !            13: op_mem.h        : micro-operations templates for load and stores accesses
        !            14: op_template.h   : micro-operation templates for register moves
        !            15: translate.c     : Alpha instructions to micro-operations translator
        !            16: 
        !            17: Code translator status:
        !            18: The Alpha CPU instruction emulation should be quite complete with the
        !            19: limitation that the VAX floating-point load and stores are not implemented.
        !            20: The 4 MMU modes are implemented.
        !            21: 
        !            22: Linux user mode emulation status:
        !            23: a few programs start to run. Most crash at a certain point, dereferencing a
        !            24: NULL pointer. It seems that the UNIQUE register is not initialized properly.
        !            25: It may appear that old executables, not relying on TLS support, run but
        !            26: this is to be prooved...
        !            27: 
        !            28: Full system emulation status:
        !            29: * Alpha PALCode emulation is in a very early stage and is not sufficient
        !            30:   to run any real OS. The alpha-softmmu target is not enabled for now.
        !            31: * no hardware platform description is implemented
        !            32: * there might be problems in the Alpha PALCode dedicated instructions
        !            33:   that would prevent to use a native PALCode image.
