Encoding possible issue/help #515

Closed colbster255 closed 4 months ago

colbster255 commented 4 months ago

Hi everyone, ive been trying to encode an instruction: "movaps xmm(0-9), [reg]" and no matter what I try it fails to encode. Its an issue with movaps xmm as I do the same 2nd op settings other places in my code and its fine. I was wondering if someone saw anything wrong with this and or could leave an example on how they would do it.

Thanks alot,

zydis

Memory size should be 16 (128 bits).

But that's only for the second operand, no? r15 is a 64 but register so i assumed it would need to be 8 bytes. I'll give it a try when im home, but i'd love to learn why aswell

You are confusing size of base register with size of memory operand. Currently you are trying to encode movaps xmm9, qword ptr [r15]. Such instruction cannot exist, as movaps requires access to 16 bytes of memory (movaps xmm9, xmmword ptr [r15]).

Interesting, thanks so much! I appreciate it a lot. That makes sense, I was confused why I was manually setting the size of the register.

Worked, thanks so much for the help.
