@ -2601,35 +2601,6 @@ This function performs architecture-specific conversions as described
above for @code{store_typed_address}.
@end deftypefun
@value{GDBN} also provides functions that do the same tasks, but assume
that pointers are simply byte addresses; they aren't sensitive to the
current architecture, beyond knowing the appropriate endianness.
@deftypefun CORE_ADDR extract_address (void *@var{addr}, int len)
Extract a @var{len}-byte number from @var{addr} in the appropriate
endianness for the current architecture, and return it. Note that
@var{addr} refers to @value{GDBN}'s memory, not the inferior's.
This function should only be used in architecture-specific code; it
doesn't have enough information to turn bits into a true address in the
appropriate way for the current architecture. If you can, use
@code{extract_typed_address} instead.
@end deftypefun
@deftypefun void store_address (void *@var{addr}, int @var{len}, LONGEST @var{val})
Store @var{val} at @var{addr} as a @var{len}-byte integer, in the
appropriate endianness for the current architecture. Note that
@var{addr} refers to a buffer in @value{GDBN}'s memory, not the
inferior's.

@end deftypefun
Here are some macros which architectures can define to indicate the
relationship between pointers and addresses. These have default
definitions, appropriate for architectures on which all pointers are
