// For 386/AMD64 register list specifies 4VNNIW-style multi-source operand.
// For range of 4 elements, Intel manual uses "+3" notation, for example:
//
//	VP4DPWSSDS zmm1{k1}{z}, zmm2+3, m128
//
// Given asm line:
//
//	VP4DPWSSDS Z5, [Z10-Z13], (AX)

// and is always present. Following this are the entries, consisting of two
// fields (offset, length). This function must stop reading at the end
// boundary of the block containing the last newline.
//
// Note that the GNU manual says that numeric values should be encoded in octal
// format. However, the GNU tar utility itself outputs these values in decimal.
// As such, this library treats values as being encoded in decimal.
