How does Branch Target Prediction differ from Branch Prediction?
I do not understand how BTP differs from BP? Yes I understand BP evaluates whether a conditional is true/false, but surely implicitly this also determines the “target” instruction?

How can I find the start of a native method?
For a hobby project, I’m writing an x86 GC and JIT. For the GC, I need to maintain information about the stack layout (it’s a precise GC), for which I need to be able to find out which method the IP currently is in (and the complete call chain of course). How can you do this?
