x86-64 tutorials here should be a good starting point: https://github.com/MattPD/cpplinks/blob/master/assembly.x86.md#tutorials

See also static analysis resources (more C++-oriented, although some of the readings are general): https://github.com/MattPD/cpplinks/blob/master/analysis.static.md#readings-books and https://gist.github.com/MattPD/71b63a3e1600c2b52e1db80fa2834e60#correctness-in-practice (formal methods and program analysis in industry).

Further readings: Book recommendations in https://github.com/MattPD/cpplinks/blob/master/compilers.md#books as well as program analysis resources (in particular lattice theory, type systems and programming languages theory, related notation): https://gist.github.com/MattPD/00573ee14bf85ccac6bed3c0678ddbef#program-analysis-resources

Microarchitectural performance analysis research is a pretty active and interesting area--see also: https://github.com/MattPD/cpplinks/blob/master/performance.tools.md#microarchitecture

IMHO, the best investment Jetbrains could possibly make for CLion would be to have one of their employees give Lzz3 (https://github.com/mjspncr/lzz3) and Lzz (https://github.com/SnapperTT/lzz-bin) some love & polish so it could be seamlessly integrated into CLion's workflow as a first-class feature that effortlessly "just works" and requires little more than checking "use .lzz and autogenerate legacy .cpp+.h files" when creating a new class. Or, logistics permitting, hire Mike Spencer so he can work on it full-time.
