Requirements & limits

Source builds require Python, a native build toolchain and the separate mbuild checkout alongside xed. The build produces platform-specific static or shared libraries and optional examples.
The tool encodes and decodes x86 instructions. Encoder-only and decoder-only configurations are available to reduce library size.
