#### G.5.3 ARM Features

The ``org.gnu.gdb.arm.core`' feature is required for non-M-profile ARM targets. It should contain registers ``r0`' through ``r13`', ``sp`', ``lr`', ``pc`', and ``cpsr`'.

For M-profile targets (e.g. Cortex-M3), the ``org.gnu.gdb.arm.core`' feature is replaced by ``org.gnu.gdb.arm.m-profile`'. It should contain registers ``r0`' through ``r13`', ``sp`', ``lr`', ``pc`', and ``xpsr`'.

The ``org.gnu.gdb.arm.fpa`' feature is optional. If present, it should contain registers ``f0`' through ``f7`' and ``fps`'.

The ``org.gnu.gdb.arm.m-profile-mve`' feature is optional. If present, it must contain register ``vpr`'.

If the ``org.gnu.gdb.arm.m-profile-mve`' feature is available, gdb will synthesize the ``p0`' pseudo register from ``vpr`' contents.

If the ``org.gnu.gdb.arm.vfp`' feature is available alongside the ``org.gnu.gdb.arm.m-profile-mve`' feature, gdb will synthesize the ``q`' pseudo registers from ``d`' register contents.

The ``org.gnu.gdb.xscale.iwmmxt`' feature is optional. If present, it should contain at least registers ``wR0`' through ``wR15`' and ``wCGR0`' through ``wCGR3`'. The ``wCID`', ``wCon`', ``wCSSF`', and ``wCASF`' registers are optional.

The ``org.gnu.gdb.arm.vfp`' feature is optional. If present, it should contain at least registers ``d0`' through ``d15`'. If they are present, ``d16`' through ``d31`' should also be included. gdb will synthesize the single-precision registers from halves of the double-precision registers.

The ``org.gnu.gdb.arm.neon`' feature is optional. It does not need to contain registers; it instructs gdb to display the VFP double-precision registers as vectors and to synthesize the quad-precision registers from pairs of double-precision registers. If this feature is present, ``org.gnu.gdb.arm.vfp`' must also be present and include 32 double-precision registers.
