You are going to want to add a disassembler, intel open sourced its xed lib recently: https://github.com/intelxed/xed it also contains machine readable data files in case you want to code your own.

We're already using Capstone for that purpose, which handles more than just x86{,-64}. The xed library may still come in handy, thanks.

Thanks for the tip.

Also, I feel like I should mention that I started this list during a stream and plan to go back and add many more links soon.
