Version 4.46 of Intel Software Development Emulator
Release Notes: Linux 3.x is supported. There is better support for running on AVX-enabled hosts. All output files now begin "sde-" and end with ".txt" by default. Mix is faster and does more analysis of SIMD operations. Mix has line number support for the top blocks when the information is available in the application. The -ptr-chk option now checks the memory references of gather operations. A file descriptor leak when exec'ing thousands of threads on Linux has been fixed. There are miscellaneous other stability improvements.

Release Notes: Support for Haswell New Instructions.
Release Notes: Support for the POST-32NM processor instructions in the 008 revision of the Intel(R) AVX programmers reference document. Many stability improvements. The output of "sde -thelp" goes to stdout, not stderr. The mix tool has a "-demangle 0" option to turn off demangling. The xed disassembler handles uninitialized code sections in Windows binaries. Xed supports dwarf line number information with the -line knob on Linux. Mix has improved memory efficiency.
Release Notes: itrace circular buffer fixes, knob fixes, and width of memory references for some emulated instructions to avoid page crossings. debugtrace now prints x87/MMX registers. Output log files now all end with .txt. A new memory pointer checker was added.
Release Notes: Better support for recent Linux distributions, like Ubuntu 9.10. Better support for debugging with GDB on Linux. Better integration with GDB 7.0.50. Windows uses dbghelp.dll 6.11.1.404. Fixes for paths with spaces. Tool arguments are grouped more sensibly. The AVX/SSE transition checker emits previous block information. The alignment checker has been upgraded. There are more CPUID feature knobs for SSE technologies. There is a new chip-check feature to restrict instructions to specific chips; see "sde -thelp". There is a fast icounting feature and various numeric fixes.
