Hi,

I don't really understand why the inline assembler doesn't support the pause instruction.

I know it's just an alias and that rep nop will do the same thing, but considering it's part of the Intel manual and most other assemblers support it today, is there really a good reason to not support it for consistency and compliance with the manual?

Regards,
Alex
