> Yeah, this is a very aarch64 specific thing in the generic symbolizer, but it's not an especially large function so I didn't feel too bad about it. If we started needing to handle multi-instruction sequences like this in the symbolizer (where we save state from previous instructions to determine a result), then this definitely would not scale well.

Yeah I mainly mentioned it because of vague memories of some other function that grew a whole bunch of these. Fine for now.

(And in general I like the change, we get this sort of request for the disassembly tools a lot but haven't really thought about it for lldb)

> I've written it so that I only recognize the pattern with ADRP is immediately followed by an ADD, that was maybe a choice I could have gone either way on.

That bit makes sense to me. I suppose instruction scheduling might separate them but this probably hits 99% of them.
