-# Guest write watch
-
-`GuestWriteWatch` is an optional diagnostic tool. It helps you find managed
-code and HLE code that damage guest memory. The tool starts only if you set one
-or more `SHARPEMU_WATCH_*` environment variables.
-
-The tool monitors writes through the SharpEmu managed virtual-memory APIs. It
-does not monitor stores that native guest code makes directly. Use a platform
-debugger or a hardware watchpoint to monitor these stores.
-
-## Watch modes
-
-- `SHARPEMU_WATCH_WRITE=0x<address>` logs a write that overlaps the eight-byte
-  block at the specified guest address.
-- `SHARPEMU_WATCH_POOL_HEADER=1` monitors the pointer at offset `0x40`. It
-  monitors the first 64 direct mappings that have a size of 64 KiB and
-  protection value `0xF2`.
-- `SHARPEMU_WATCH_VALUE_PATTERN=1` logs an eight-byte write if its lower 32 bits
-  are `1`. The upper 32 bits must look like a small guest-pointer prefix.
-- `SHARPEMU_WATCH_VALUE1=1` logs short writes of value `1` in the high guest
-  memory range. The tool logs a maximum of 128 entries for each process.
-- `SHARPEMU_WATCH_BULK_TORN=1` scans aligned 64-bit words in bulk writes. It
-  finds damaged pointer patterns and byte-shifted pointer patterns. The tool
-  logs a maximum of 64 entries for each process.
-- `SHARPEMU_WATCH_BULK_DEST_HI=0x<high-dword>` scans only writes that have the
-  specified upper 32 bits in the destination address.
-
-For each match, the tool logs the destination address, the data pattern, and the
-managed call stack. The log uses the `watch_write` or `watch_bulk_torn` warning
-tag.
-
-Use these variables together to scan bulk writes in the
-`0x00000080xxxxxxxx` region.
-
-macOS and Linux:
-
-```sh
-SHARPEMU_WATCH_BULK_TORN=1 \
-SHARPEMU_WATCH_BULK_DEST_HI=0x80 \
-SharpEmu /path/to/eboot.bin
-```
-
-Windows PowerShell:
-
-```powershell
-$env:SHARPEMU_WATCH_BULK_TORN = "1"
-$env:SHARPEMU_WATCH_BULK_DEST_HI = "0x80"
-& .\SharpEmu.exe C:\path\to\game\eboot.bin
-```
-
-To reduce unnecessary log entries, use an exact `SHARPEMU_WATCH_WRITE`
-address from a crash dump.

-/// Pure software implementation of the bit-field math behind AMD's SSE4a EXTRQ/INSERTQ
-/// (immediate-form) instructions.
-///
-/// The direct-execution backend runs guest PS5 code natively on the host CPU. The PS5's Zen 2
-/// cores implement AMD-only SSE4a (EXTRQ/INSERTQ), but Intel hosts - and Rosetta 2 on Apple
-/// Silicon - do not, so they raise #UD (STATUS_ILLEGAL_INSTRUCTION) instead of executing the
-/// opcode. SharpEmu already rewrites one specific compiled EXTRQ+VPBLENDD idiom at load time
-/// (see <see cref="Native.Sse4aExtrqBlendPatch"/>), but any other occurrence of EXTRQ/INSERTQ -
-/// a different register allocation, a title built with a different compiler version, and so on
-/// - still aborts the title. This class ported from Kyty's
-/// <c>Loader::X64InstructionEmulator::TryEmulateSse4a</c> provides the general bit-field
-/// extract/insert so the illegal-instruction handler can finish *any* immediate-form
-/// EXTRQ/INSERTQ in software and resume, instead of relying on a single hard-coded byte pattern.
-///
-/// The methods operate on plain 64-bit integers rather than the OS CONTEXT record so the bit
-/// math can be unit-tested in isolation; the unsafe CONTEXT/XMM plumbing lives in the backend
-/// adapter (<see cref="Native.DirectExecutionBackend"/>).
