To save and restore the complete vector state, you need to do Check if CPU supports xsave/restore if yes Query CPU for the complete vector state size Allocate space on stack for the complete vector state xsave else Allocate space on stack for the fxsave area. fxsave endif ... if CPU supports xsave/restore xrstor else fxrstor endif I don't believe compiler needs to do all that.
