Those implications are useful to capture simpler "an extension specifies a feature" principle.
For instance, if the
Za64rs
extension is implemented (at most 64-byte reservation set), the feature specified by theZa128rs
extension is also implemented (at most 128-byte reservation set).In that case, implying
Za64rs
→Za128rs
makes feature detection logic simpler.Despite that requiring the
H
extension to someSh*
extensions in the specification seems redundant (because they are mandatory in the profile ifH
is implemented), it will be useful if those extensions are used separately from the RISC-V Profiles.Note that one of them (
Smstateen
→Ssstateen
) is implemented in GNU Binutils version 2.40 or later.
