 - <h3 class="section">G.5 Standard Target Features</h3>
 - <a name="index-target-descriptions_002c-standard-features"></a>
 - 
 - <p>A target description must contain either no registers or all the
 - target’s registers.  If the description contains no registers, then
 - <small>GDB</small> will assume a default register layout, selected based on
 - the architecture.  If the description contains any registers, the
 - default layout will not be used; the standard registers must be
 - described in the target description, in such a way that <small>GDB</small>
 - can recognize them.
 - </p>
 - <p>This is accomplished by giving specific names to feature elements
 - which contain standard registers.  <small>GDB</small> will look for features
 - with those names and verify that they contain the expected registers;
 - if any known feature is missing required registers, or if any required
 - feature is missing, <small>GDB</small> will reject the target
 - description.  You can add additional registers to any of the
 - standard features — <small>GDB</small> will display them just as if
 - they were added to an unrecognized feature.
 - </p>
 - <p>This section lists the known features and their expected contents.
 - Sample XML documents for these features are included in the
 - <small>GDB</small> source tree, in the directory <samp>gdb/features</samp>.
 - </p>
 - <p>Names recognized by <small>GDB</small> should include the name of the
 - company or organization which selected the name, and the overall
 - architecture to which the feature applies; so e.g. the feature
 - containing ARM core registers is named ‘<samp>org.gnu.gdb.arm.core</samp>’.
 - </p>
 - <p>The names of registers are not case sensitive for the purpose
 - of recognizing standard features, but <small>GDB</small> will only display
 - registers using the capitalization used in the description.
