Section 2.2.1.2 of the Intel 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's Manual volume 2A states that when memory addressing is used (i.e., mod part of ModR/M is not 3), a SIB byte is used and the index of the SIB byte points to the R/ESP (i.e.,index = 4), the index should not be used in the computation of the memory address.
An example of such instruction could be
insn -0x80(%rsp)
This is represented as:
[opcode] 4c 24 80
ModR/M: mod: 1, reg: 1: r/m: 4 (R/ESP) SIB 24: sc: 0, index: 100 (R/ESP), base(R/ESP): 100 Displacement -0x80
The correct address is (base) + displacement; no index is used.
Care is taken to allow R12 to be used as index, which is a valid scenario.
