/* REX2.M in rex2 prefix represents map0 or map1. */
if (*ins.codep == 0x0f || (ins.rex2 & REX2_M))
{
unsigned char threebyte;
if (!ins.rex2)
{
ins.codep++;
if (!fetch_code (info, ins.codep + 1))
goto fetch_error_out; ---> When there are no bytes after 0f, it will jump to fetch error, but no error will be reported.
}
threebyte = *ins.codep;
dp = &dis386_twobyte[threebyte];
ins.need_modrm = twobyte_has_modrm[threebyte];
ins.codep++;
}
For d5 00 0f
Decode to:
0: d5 rex2
1: 00 0f add %cl,(%rdi)
For 40 0f
Decode to:
0: 40 rex
1: 0f .byte 0xf

No, for d510 , ((ins.rex2 & 7) & ~(ins.rex2_used & 7)) == 0. Anyway, I want to delete them. I don't see any point in it at all.

After removing " ((ins.rex2 & 0x7) ^ (ins.rex2_used & 0x7)) == 0 ", the code changes to
+ /* Check if the REX2 prefix is used. */
+ if (ins.last_rex2_prefix >= 0 && (ins.rex2 & 0x7))
When it is true, decode will not print the {rex2} for this insn.
