Feature Request

I want the use of comments in the code to compare x86 version to arm version

I confirm:

  • [x ] that I haven't found another request for this feature.
  • [x ] that I have checked whether there are updates for my system available that
    contain this feature already.

Description

Generate all possible code logic. Insert comments as code is executed. Repeat for both x96 version and arm version.
Compare text files comments to see where the code is not copying over for the arm version.

Justification [optional]

I think there is a language that is simplified like python that goes to machine language where the error happens. Since comments might not work on arm compared to x86 when using a higher language then the comments should be added to machine language too. If the machine language comments work the same then the upper language comments are equivalent.

Risks [optional]

You might not be able to write in comments for all possible code executed in both arm and x86 using machine language but I think a machine code reading ide might be able to do this.

Hello @IWatchSheep, while in theory this might be interesting for academic purposes, this isn't something Proton devs should burn dev time on.
