No-no-no, please do not ask me to remove it ;) I understand that this
is subjective, but to me it helps. Please see below.

Heh. I blindly copied the opcodes from the manual, I didn't even realize
that the range is continuous.

But gcc is more clever than me, I removed "static" and

is_cond_jmp_opcode:
pushq %rbp #
movq %rsp, %rbp #,
call mcount
leave
subl $112, %edi #, tmp62
cmpb $15, %dil #, tmp62
setbe %al #, tmp64
ret

shows that at least this doesn't make the code worse.

Well, "!!" is commonly used to make clear the fact we need a boolean,
even if this is not strictly needed.

Besides, in this case it is needed for "!=" above, or we would need to do

- XF(SF) != XF(OF)
+ !!XF(SF) != !!XF(OF)

I'd prefer to keep these macros. They are only used by is_cond_jmp_opcode()
and check_jmp_cond(), and I really think they make the code more readable.

And more editable. To remind, I am going to add the support for j*cxz/loop
later. Just for completeness, we do not need this to fix the bug. In this
case I will simply add

case 0xe3: DO(check_rcx(auprobe, regs))

at the end of CASE_COND and that is all.

OK. I changed this line

unsigned long disp = (long)auprobe->ttt.disp;

to make it clear that yes, disp can be negative. Or we could simply use s32,
but then

regs->ip = new_ip + disp;

could look equally confusing.

Thanks,

Oleg.
