We use SIGILL sequence to detect presence for all crypto instructions, so if your logic would apply to all of the instructions we try to detect. This is the standard way that openssl probes for instruction presence. ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org Development Mailing List openssl-dev@openssl.org Automated List Manager majord...@openssl.org
