Also there's a case with no offset like:  callq  *%rbx

It seems too x86-specific, what about this? (not tested)


indirect_call:
	tok = strchr(endptr, '*');
	if (tok != NULL) {
		endptr++;
		if (!isdigit(*endptr))
			return 0;

		addr = strtoull(endptr, &endptr, 0);
		if (*endptr != '('))
			ops->target.addr = addr;


Thanks,
