What is the easiest way to produce 10k+ junk instructions from c++ code for stalling? - Tr0jandog - Oct 2, 2019
For doing stalling code, one way is to just use a for loop
but for example a for loop with 10k iteration doesnt generate 10k instructions and it is just based on inside of it
so what is the easiest way to actually make my stalling code produce 10k instructions other than copying some simple lines of codes thousands of times? any better way to do this?
BASICALLY i want to produce 10,000+ junk instructions, what is the easiest way to achieve this?
and yes i know there are better ways for stalling than this but I'm focused on this method right now

There is a public AI project that can generate code based off of open github repos

I've never really attempted any stalling, so forgive me if this is a silly suggestion. If you want to reproduce 10,000 of the same instruction in the disassembly, you could force it with preprocessor recursion:
PHP Code
<?php
#define R10(x) x;x;x;x;x;x;x;x;x;x
#define R100(x) R10(R10(x))
#define R10K(x) R100(R100(x))
R10K(test_function());
would for example, give
PHP Code
<?php
0030229E call test_function (030145Bh)
003022A3 call test_function (030145Bh)
003022A8 call test_function (030145Bh)
003022AD call test_function (030145Bh)
003022B2 call test_function (030145Bh)
003022B7 call test_function (030145Bh)
003022BC call test_function (030145Bh)
003022C1 call test_function (030145Bh)
003022C6 call test_function (030145Bh)
003022CB call test_function (030145Bh)
003022D0 call test_function (030145Bh)
003022D5 call test_function (030145Bh)
003022DA call test_function (030145Bh)
003022DF call test_function (030145Bh)
003022E4 call test_function (030145Bh)
003022E9 call test_function (030145Bh)
003022EE call test_function (030145Bh)
003022F3 call test_function (030145Bh)
...
But I'm not sure if this is of any use to you. Perhaps some of the other suggestions are the way to go! :)
