Do you mean exporting the structure that I mention above? The problem
that I am trying to solve is that callers sometimes want to know the
offset of the register encoded in the SiB or the ModRM bytes. I could
use something
insn_get_reg_offset(insn, regs, INSN_TYPE_MODRM)
insn_get_reg_offset(insn, regs, INSN_TYPE_SIB)
Instead, I opted for
insn_get_reg_offset_rm(insn, regs)
insn_get_reg_offset_sib(insn, regs)
to avoid exposing an enum with the INSN_TYPE_MODRM, INSN_TYPE_SIB.
If you feel that the former makes more sense, I can change the
implementation.
Thanks and BR,
Ricardo
