But it should not execute it, it is guarded by some cpuid things. If the assembler does not like the insn, first do (in the same asm) an assembler pseudo-instruction to select a CPU that does have that insn, then the rdrand, and then the original CPU again. Or write the bytes of the instruction encoding directly. Segher
