Thanks for testing! > 1. Having ECX on the clobber-list is not really necessary. > XSTORE doesn't touch ECX at all. > REP XSTORE would touch it, but for this ECX would be an input anyways. The documentation wasn't clear whether ECX would be updated without the REP prefix so I included it to be on the safe side. Unfortunately my only VIA machine is on another continent at the moment so I can't test it myself. Can you verify that ECX isn't changed without the REP prefix? > 2.

Are you seeing anything different?
