...and there's no documentation of what the template parameter should be, of it if's possible to infer it from the object::ObjectFile somehow. David Who has spent the last week writing a tool that uses the MC layer and found the lack of documentation frustrating [1] http://llvm.org/doxygen/classllvm_1_1MCInstrDesc.html

What function provides the encoding length? X86 in particular is so difficult to encode that only the old style JIT and the MC Code Emitter could possibly know how many bytes something takes.

Dear All, I'm enhancing a MachineFunctionPass that enforces control-flow integrity. One of the things I want to do is to set the alignment of an instruction (by adding NOPs before it in the MachineBasicBlock or by emitting an alignment directive to the assembler) if it causes a specific sequence of bytes to be generated at a specific alignment. The goal is to ensure that sequences of
