Description Pedro Ferreira 2014-09-26 10:37:41 UTC
This is against version 3.10 which doesn't show on the "Version" field.

The relevant log is:
vex x86->IR: unhandled instruction bytes: 0xC5 0xF1 0xEF 0xC9
==16952== valgrind: Unrecognised instruction at address 0x41b220b5.

GDB disassembly says:
1: x/i 0x41B220B5
   0x41b220b5 <QString::fromLatin1_helper(char const*, int)+117>:       vpxor  %xmm1,%xmm1,%xmm1

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Build a Qt4 app
2. Call the Qt function using the unhandled instruction
3. Valgrind returns an error and kills the application with SIGILL

Actual Results:  
Valgrind returns an error and kills the application with SIGILL

That is an AVX512 instruction, or at least uses EVEX encoding, which means it is dependent on AVX512 support being added.

Scratch that I'm talking nonsense - that is VEX encoding.
