These are easy libraries to write; people should just write them themselves. Well, if you say so! Seriously though, isn't x86/64 opcode set gargantuan in size?

Well, if you say so! Seriously though, isn't x86/64 opcode set gargantuan in size? Not to mention the maintenance and what to do with parallel constructs. It doesn't sound easy to me, apart from trivial text emit experiments. I haven't tried writing one though, so I wouldn't know. Also, what's easy for someone isn't easy for others. I find image processing and rendering relatively easy for example.

Read this: http://reocities.com/SiliconValley/heights/7052/opcode.txt http://reocities.com/SiliconValley/heights/7052/opcode.txt and just start coding.
- Keyframe 11y agoOk, thanks for the tip and link. Weekend here I come!
