LoongArch: Fix non-ASCII string in disassemble_annotate_one function
Fixes non-ASCII characters in comments within the LoongArch disassembler.
This patch addresses an issue in the LoongArch disassembler by fixing multiple non-ASCII ’-’ characters found in comments within the disassemble_annotate_one function. The changes involve replacing these characters to ensure correct display and avoid potential issues with tools that parse source code.
In Details
This patch modifies comments in opcodes/loongarch-dis.c to replace non-ASCII hyphens ('-') with standard ASCII hyphens. The affected comments are part of the annotation layout description for the dbar instruction. The change ensures that the source code is clean and compatible with ASCII-based parsing tools.
