There seems to be a big performance difference though: let's wait for the outcome netwide-assembler/nasm#253

Hi @MIvanchev, thanks for the ping. I have this in flight in #57682, currently draft because I'm splitting the findings on libx86emu/stepmania/pcsxr/libretro-mupen64plus into separate PRs for a better reviewer experience.

Quick status across the four: libx86emu already has a fix in the PR that I'm fairly confident in. stepmania has local template work that still needs refining. pcsxr and libretro-mupen64plus I haven't gotten to yet due to dayjob constraints.

On the template side, #57682 does a refactor relative to my earlier work in #55489. That one added a dedicated build option just for docs, which in retrospect didn't really make sense. The current template lets documentation follow the standard build flow.

Got curious about your comment on netwide-assembler/nasm#253. Across the asm files I exercised through the dependent packages, none of them showed signs of a perf regression. Could you point me at the specific file you compiled when you saw the difference? I'd like to try to reproduce it on my side.

Thanks for the update @Rutpiv, I can't quite get you my files (test suite for a client that basically generates random opcodes and uses a lib to emit NASM compilable ASM) but I can try to generate you something similar. It only gets noticeable after thousands of lines though.

@Rutpiv the performance issue is resolved and 3.02 is out.

[Rutpiv]

Thanks for the update, good to know 3.02 resolves it. Will pick the NASM PR back up soon.

Hi @MIvanchev, following up: #57682 is now ready for review, updated to 3.02. The split I mentioned is done; the packages that were failing independently of the nasm update (stepmania, pcsxr, libretro-mupen64plus) will get their own PRs.
