+/* This assembly macro is prepended to any load/store instruction,
+ pulling the base register out of the addressing mode syntax and
+ making it the first operand of the macro. For example:
+ ldr r0, [r1]
+ becomes:
+ sfi_breg r1, ldr r0, [\B]
+ The \B stands in for the base register that is the first operand
+ to the macro, so we can avoid error-prone repetition of the base
+ register in two places on the line.
+
+ This is used for all memory access through a base register other
+ than PC or SP. It's intended to support SFI schemes such as
+ Native Client, where the OS will enforce that all load/store
+ instructions use a special form. In any such configuration,
+ another sysdep.h file will have defined ARM_SFI_MACROS and
+ provided its own assembly macros with the same interface. */
