Print instruction description as comment in disassembly with s390
architecture specific option "insndesc":
- For objdump it can be enabled with option "-M insndesc"
- In gdb it can be enabled with "set disassembler-options insndesc"
Since comments are not column aligned the output can enhanced for
readability by postprocessing using a filter such as "expand":
... | expand -t 8,16,24,32,40,80
Or when using in combination with objdump option --visualize-jumps:
... | expand | sed -e 's/ *#/\t#/' | expand -t 1,80
Note that the instruction descriptions add about 128 KB to s390-opc.o:
s390-opc.o without instruction descriptions: 216368 bytes
s390-opc.o with instruction descriptions : 348432 bytes
