I'm sponsoring the following open case for Wayne Mesard to change the
binding for PSARC/2005/673 to Patch.  The timer expires on 08/29/2007.

  This case is a proposal to grant Patch binding to most of PSARC 2005/673
  ("dis(1) options and libdisasm.so.1").

  The EOL of "-l" and "-L" will retain Minor binding.
  For all the other changes in PSARC 2005/673:

    - changes in [Unstable] output formatting
    - the addition of new command line options
    - the removal of undocumented "useless" options ("-S" and "-T")
    - the creation of /usr/lib/libdisasm.so.1

  we propose Patch binding.

  Additionally, we would like to change the documentation of "-l" and
  "-L".  Specifically, we want to remove them from the man page and the
  "usage" message.  The Solaris 10 man page already says that these
  options are obsolete.  In other words, we seek Patch release binding to
  move them from "Obsolete (documented)" to "Obsolete (undocumented)".

Are the changes in output formatting backwards compatible?
Otherwise, Unstable means "won't change in a Patch release".

Hi Alan,

There are two minor changes.  Quoting from PSARC/2005/673:

     1. Jump targets are displayed consistently across platforms.
        Previously the SPARC disassembler would display targets as:

	  40 00 47 70        call   snprintf

        While x86 would display them as:

	  e8 b9 d6 ff ff     call   -0x2942 <snprintf>

        The disassembler has been unified to display the "offset
        <symbol>" form, as this provides more information and is
        consistent with the MDB disassembler.

     2. The second change is to wrap long instructions across multiple
        lines in order to keep the disassembly aligned consistently.
        This only affects x86 disassembly...

Wayne();

	I suspect this is a case where Not-an-Interface would have been
	chosen if it had existed at the time.
