Description

CPUInfoBox support for some other instructions like CMOV and FCMOV also needs this. IsBranchGoingToExecute and IsConditionalGoingToExecute in zydis_wrapper may be unified so that we can continue using the DbgIsJumpGoingToExecute export.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how DbgIsJumpGoingToExecute currently works for jumps and extend it to handle conditional instructions like CMOV and FCMOV by potentially unifying IsBranchGoingToExecute and IsConditionalGoingToExecute in zydis wrapper.
