I feel bad for not mentioning this before - can we replace this magic 16
with something self documenting?

Obv. I have not left R-b tags on stuff without trying to understand
what's going on, but from a lay-observer point of view, I think these
function names & flow does a good job of explaining some of the black
magic in this neck of the woods.

instr...

...inst...

...insn.

Is there a reason for that?

Also, I've gotten myself slightly confused about the loop. You "stop one
instruction before the end" but the main loop goes from 0 -> num_instr.
The inner loop then checks for i < num_instr - 1. What am I missing that
prevents the outer loop from stopping at num_instr - 1 instead?

Super minor, but "call will use ra register" is a little unclear. As
written, it makes perfect sense when you've been staring at this code,
but not so much if you're passing through.. How about:
/* if this instruction pair is a call, it will use the ra register */

All minor stuff though, so you can re-add my R-b either way:
