If configured, prefer this over our rather dated copy of the
GPLv2-only binutils.  This will be especially apparent with
the proposed vector extensions to TCG, as disas/i386.c does
not handle AVX.

Isn't it cleaner to have a stubs/disas_capstone.c?

If this one function warranted a separate file of its own, maybe, but certainly
not without that.

The existing disassembler doesn't have it.  So, no?

No.  Or not without extra limits.  We don't want 100k instances of this error
as we dump all of the hunks for "-d in_asm".

We'd be assuming the distro didn't do anything silly wrt compiling with "diet"
mode or with only the host cpu enabled.  I really don't know what to do about
such an eventuality except continue to fall back to the binutils code.

g_malloc cannot fail.

Why?  Even if I did change the type of the argument?
The extra cast would be implied by the language.

That's no better than what I have; it simply prints more.  I need a *real*
solution.  It will probably involve not re-using cap_disas but writing code
just for the monitor.

We should have the usual --enable-capstone/--disable-capstone
option flags so distros can enforce that configure fails
if it can't find the dependency.

It's also tempting to suggesting making it into a submodule
so that we can dump the old binutils code entirely (or
just requiring capstone if you want the debug logging to
be any good).

thanks

Can we do something with gradually adding more to our host buffer
until capstone says it's managed to disassemble the right number
of instructions?
