This fork has been archived

This fork is no longer needed due to theseus-os/Theseus#524.

Please use the upstream x86_64 crate instead.

x86_64 library

Support for x86_64 specific instructions (e.g. TLB flush), registers (e.g. control registers), and structures (e.g. page tables).

Crate Feature Flags

• nightly: Enables features only available on nightly Rust; enabled by default.
• instructions: Enabled by default, turns on x86_64 specific instructions, and dependent features. Only available for x86_64 targets.
• external_asm: Use this to build with non-nightly rust. Needs default-features = false, features = ["instructions"]. Is unsupported on Windows.

Building with stable rust

This needs to have the compile-time requirements of the cc crate installed on your system. It was currently only tested on Linux and MacOS.
