Nice article! Always good to see easy-to-follow explainers on these kinds of concepts! One minor nit, for the “odd corner case that likely never exists in real code” of taken branches to the next instruction, I can think of at least one example where this is often used: far jumps to the next instruction with a different segment on x86[_64] that are used to reload CS (e.g. on a mode switch). Aware that’s a very specific case, but it’s one that very much does exist in real code. |
