    • I have a uniquely soft spot for SPARC, having written and disassembled a bunch of SPARC early in my career. If this is its swan song, I'll take the moment to share some code the takes advantage of the odd (today) delay slot architecture to implement instruction picking:

    The trick uses a branch in the delay slot of a jmp--a decidedly unusual construction. At the time I found this to be extremely clever and elegant... but apparently not so clever as to warrant a comment.
