Bddisasm is a nice piece of work! The last few years have seen a real explosion in the number and quality of open source x86 decoders. The Bitdefender team states in their README that they've been using my differential fuzzer[1] to test bddisasm's resiliency[2]. I have no reason to doubt them, but it would certainly be interesting to see the results of a few hours of fuzzing against some near-or-equally high quality decoders (i.e. Zydis and XED).
