  65. <h3 class="section">G.5 Standard Target Features</h3>
  66. <a name="index-target-descriptions_002c-standard-features"></a>
  67. <p>A target description must contain either no registers or all the
  68. target&rsquo;s registers. If the description contains no registers, then
  69. <small>GDB</small> will assume a default register layout, selected based on
  70. the architecture. If the description contains any registers, the
  71. default layout will not be used; the standard registers must be
  72. described in the target description, in such a way that <small>GDB</small>
  73. can recognize them.
  74. </p>
  75. <p>This is accomplished by giving specific names to feature elements
  76. which contain standard registers. <small>GDB</small> will look for features
  77. with those names and verify that they contain the expected registers;
  78. if any known feature is missing required registers, or if any required
  79. feature is missing, <small>GDB</small> will reject the target
  80. description. You can add additional registers to any of the
  81. standard features &mdash; <small>GDB</small> will display them just as if
  82. they were added to an unrecognized feature.
  83. </p>
  84. <p>This section lists the known features and their expected contents.
  85. Sample XML documents for these features are included in the
  86. <small>GDB</small> source tree, in the directory <samp>gdb/features</samp>.
  87. </p>
  88. <p>Names recognized by <small>GDB</small> should include the name of the
  89. company or organization which selected the name, and the overall
  90. architecture to which the feature applies; so e.g. the feature
  91. containing ARM core registers is named &lsquo;<samp>org.gnu.gdb.arm.core</samp>&rsquo;.
  92. </p>
  93. <p>The names of registers are not case sensitive for the purpose
  94. of recognizing standard features, but <small>GDB</small> will only display
  95. registers using the capitalization used in the description.
