76 (This function is called when the simulator is selected from the
77 gdb command line.)
79 KIND specifies how the simulator shall be used. Currently there
80 are only two kinds: stand-alone and debug.
82 CALLBACK specifies a standard host callback (defined in callback.h).
84 ABFD, when non NULL, designates a target program. The program is
85 not loaded.
87 ARGV is a standard ARGV pointer such as that passed from the
88 command line. The syntax of the argument list is is assumed to be
89 ``SIM-PROG { SIM-OPTION } [ TARGET-PROGRAM { TARGET-OPTION } ]''.
90 The trailing TARGET-PROGRAM and args are only valid for a
91 stand-alone simulator.
93 On success, the result is a non NULL descriptor that shall be
94 passed to the other sim_foo functions. While the simulator
95 configuration can be parameterized by (in decreasing precedence)
96 ARGV's SIM-OPTION, ARGV's TARGET-PROGRAM and the ABFD argument, the
97 successful creation of the simulator shall not dependent on the
98 presence of any of these arguments/options.
100 Hardware simulator: The created simulator shall be sufficiently
101 initialized to handle, with out restrictions any client requests
102 (including memory reads/writes, register fetch/stores and a
103 resume).
105 Process simulator: that process is not created until a call to
106 sim_create_inferior. FIXME: What should the state of the simulator
107 be? */

125 If ABFD is non-NULL, the bfd for the file has already been opened.
126 The result is a return code indicating success.
128 Hardware simulator: Normally, each program section is written into
129 memory according to that sections LMA using physical (direct)
130 addressing. The exception being systems, such as PPC/CHRP, which
131 support more complicated program loaders. A call to this function
132 should not effect the state of the processor registers. Multiple
133 calls to this function are permitted and have an accumulative
134 effect.
136 Process simulator: Calls to this function may be ignored.
138 FIXME: Most hardware simulators load the image at the VMA using
139 virtual addressing.
141 FIXME: For some hardware targets, before a loaded program can be
142 executed, it requires the manipulation of VM registers and tables.

155 registers to a known value. The program counter and possibly stack
156 pointer shall be set using information obtained from ABFD (or
157 hardware reset defaults). ARGV and ENV, dependant on the target
158 ABI, may be written to memory.
160 Process simulator: After a call to this function, a new process
161 instance shall exist. The TEXT, DATA, BSS and stack regions shall
162 all be initialized, ARGV and ENV shall be written to process
