Tomasz, Why don't you want to support muti-byte NOP for completeness? Wink

Hmm, but how would it be implemented then?

Code:

nop
word nop
dword nop

or something else?

The syntax like "nop dword [eax]" appears obvious from the opcode point of view, though its usability is questionable. Perhaps the syntax where you could directly specify how many bytes long NOP you want would be better, but for this I'd stick to macro solution (we can make a package of code alignment macros for different processors).

i also like the idea with macros more... anyway, it's still just optimization, all those instructions are encodeable using current assembler

My Athlon64 reaches int3 with this

Code:

format PE GUI 4.0

macro nop src 
{ 
local ..lea 
  if ~src eq 
    db $0F 
    ..lea: lea eax, src 
    store $1F at ..lea 
  else 
    nop 
  end if 
} 
irps instr, noP nOp nOP Nop NoP NOp NOP {macro instr src \{nop src\}} 

nop dword [ebx+esi+5]
int3

I think, It's needed for completeness, because it's official Intel instruction and official mnemocode. Smile

Sorry for off-topic, I couldn't resist. Friend of mine has found the link:
