No, this is wrong. The function is called resolve_seg_selector() and it
gives you the segment selector. CS, DS, ES, and SS in 64-bit mode are
treated as null segments and your function should return/signal exactly
that, i.e, saying that those should be ignored in that case.

Yes, all correct. Except that we're adding a more-or-less generic x86
insn decoder so we should make it so...

... that the decoder should do exactly that:
if (MOVS and rDI)
return SEG_ES;
And you're handing in struct insn * so you can easily check which insn
you're looking at.
Thanks.
