Hello,

I just read about the new Intel Advanced Performance Extensions (Intel APX) that adds 16 more general purpose registers, new conditional move instructions, and other new features.  It requires support from the assembler.  16 more GP registers is extremely exciting, as are the other new features.  See https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/technical/advanced-performance-extensions-apx.html

GNU Binutils, including gdb and ld, has already been updated to support it.  See https://sourceware.org/pipermail/binutils/2024-January/132213.html and https://www.phoronix.com/news/GNU-Binutils-2.42

Does NASM have plans to support it?   

Thanks very much.
