I'll be honest and confess that I wrote a short essay about the problems I have with this code. I gave up because in the end it's all stuff that we've been doing for a long time in riscv_cpu_validate_set_extensions(). I'll see if I can work in a redesign of that function and in how we're setting extensions automatically
without checking user input and so on.

For now I'll say that this error message seems weird because Zve64d was set to true
without user input. So this ends up happening:

$ ./qemu-system-riscv64 -M virt -cpu rv64,v=true,d=false
qemu-system-riscv64: Zve64d extensions require D extension

It's weird because the user didn't enabled Zve64d but the error message is complaining about it. Given that the root cause is that ext_v was set, and then we've set other extensions under the hood, a saner error message in this case would be "V extension
requires D extension".


Thanks,


Daniel

Thanks for your comments.

V extension depends on Zve64d(which is actually parts of V). So Zve64d will be enabled when V is enabled.

And in fact, only the instructions in the Zve64d part of V require D extension.

To make it more readable, maybe it can be change to :

"Zve64d (or V) extension requires D extension"
