Hi,
I'm preparing to update a disassembler to deal with AVX instructions. It
would be helpful to have an idea of what instructions the disassembler is
most likely to actually see from gcc-compiled applications "in the wild", so
I can prioritize commonly-used ones.
I can look at avxintrin.h and friends, but I imagine that those are pretty
comprehensive. Is there any way to get a handle on what AVX (or newer)
instructions are the workhorses, the ones most likely to be emitted when
compiling strictly HLL sources (no use of assembly intrinsics)?
A pretty open-ended question, I know. Thanks for your indulgence, and any
suggestions you can offer.
Regards,
--
