What do people think of adding binary comparisons to at least some of
the tests in the existing MIPS gas testsuite, using the objdump
--show-raw-insn arg?

Given the amazing possibilities for different assembly of source on
MIPS, this basically means:

(1) providing a new .d file for each variant you want to test,

(2) specifying the ISA to use in the/an #as: directive in each .d
file.


It's a bit tedious, but on the other hand it's nice to know that in
addition to the forward-backward translation done by
assembly/disassembly being consistent, the actual translation to
binary is correct.  8-)


Comments?
