Description

From bruen...@google.com on March 22, 2014 11:07:21

xref issue #243 ymm are more complex as the shadow occupies two dwords, so I separated it from the xmm shadowing. it may well work fine in the slowpath if we enable it, but the fastpath definitely needs work to handle it.

Original issue: http://code.google.com/p/drmemory/issues/detail?id=1485

Contributor guide
