Exploring x86-64 Instruction Encoding
You can visualize how instructions are encoded with zydisinfo. Pass in your architecture and the hex bytes of the instructions and it’ll show all relevant info

Resources on building a disassembler/debugger(like gdb/IDA but better) in C ?
Start with a disassembler. Your first job is to parse out the binary format (ELF/PE/Mach-O) and get the raw bytes representing the machine code from the text section. You need to parse and decode them into actual instructions, and a disassembly framework like capstone or zydis or countless others can help interpret the bytes. At this point you now have a basic linear disassembly view (similar to objdump) of your compiled executable, and can continue to add features, like visualizing control flow, identifying functions, resolving strings and imports from the other sections, etc.

Rise: Accelerate the Development of Open Source Software for RISC-V
Maybe then they can help us with the Capstone[1][2] disassembly engine auto-sync (automatic synchronization from the LLVM TableGen files) effort[3]. ARMv7, ARMv8/9, PowerPC are nearly finished, and MIPS in in near-term plans. Nobody stepped in for RISC-V yet.

How to make smaller C and C++ binaries
Bloaty is a nice tool.
When I worked on Matter a couple years ago, we had the problem that its backend http://www.capstone-engine.org/ did not support Xtensa, and produced some Python tools that could take output from bloaty or similar data from readelf or elftools, and produce several kinds of report.
