They are not public available.
Another problem I saw is that jumps are "exploding".
Normally on Intel jumps (JMP, Jcc) are 2 byte long.
If the distance become bigger than -128...+127 the jump instruction becomes
5 (JMP) or 6 (Jcc) byte long. This enlarges code so that other Jumps also
become bigger and so on ...
Especially if you have code with lots of if/while/for statements and less
arithmetic this can increase the code by additional 50 per cent.
