static inline ptrdiff_t tcg_ptr_byte_diff(void *a, void *b)
{
    return a - b;
}

static inline ptrdiff_t tcg_pcrel_diff(TCGContext *s, void *target)
{
    return tcg_ptr_byte_diff(target, s->code_ptr);
}

static inline size_t tcg_current_code_size(TCGContext *s)
{
    return tcg_ptr_byte_diff(s->code_ptr, s->code_buf);
}

tcg_{isa,insn}_{part,elt} ?
