Hi folks,

The kalimba architecture has a number of variants. The ones of interest to me being 3, 4 and 5. I have added some additional entries to the g_elf_arch_entries to describe these variants. However, up until now, no subtypes (architecture variants), for ELF objectfiles exist in lldb. So I've found it necessary to modify the invocation of ArchSpec.SetArchitecture from ObjectFileELF to deal with this.

Now the kalimba variant specification can be deduced by parsing the e_flags field from the ELF header. So I've written a specific routine which extracts the variant spec from the e_flags. What I'm not too happy about, and would appreciate lldb-dev's opinion on, is if it is ok for the extraction routine (kalimbaVariantFromElfFlags) to remain in ObjectFileELF.cpp? If not, where should the routine go? Furthermore how do I get any new files into the xcode project file, given that I have no xcode system - shall I just change the make and cmake build and rely on an Apple person to fix any xcode build breakage?

Below is a diff of what I have done recognize kalimba variants, basically:

1. add new entries to ArchSpec::enum Core, and g_elf_arch_entries
2. supply routine to extract the kalimba variant from the e_flags
3. if e_machine == EM_CSR_KALIMBA, extract the kalimba variant and pass it to SetArchitecture as the cpu sub type.

I'd appreciate people's opinion on this diff, before I commit anything. (The reason I need to know the variant type, is because some kalimba variants have a different notion of "byte-size" i.e. minimum addressable unit. For example for kalimba3 the minimum addressable unit from the data bus is 24-bits, whereas for kalimba4 it is the more conventional 8-bits. I'd like to reserve the problems/challenges this presents for me, regarding my kalimba lldb port, to a future email).

thanks
