I use Valgrind to check memory leaking of my application. but Valgrind always fail with some unhandled instruction.

Here is the log message before Valgrind quit

vex amd64->IR: unhandled instruction bytes: 0x66 0x41 0xF 0x38 0x2A 0x2 0x66 0x41

vex amd64->IR:   REX=1 REX.W=0 REX.R=0 REX.X=0 REX.B=1

vex amd64->IR:   PFX.66=1 PFX.F2=0 PFX.F3=0

==27941== Your program just tried to execute an instruction that Valgrind

==27941== did not recognise.  There are two possible reasons for this.

==27941== 1. Your program has a bug and erroneously jumped to a non-code

==27941==    location.  If you are running Memcheck and you just saw a

==27941==    warning about a bad jump, it's probably your program's fault.

==27941== 2. The instruction is legitimate but Valgrind doesn't handle it,

==27941==    i.e. it's Valgrind's fault.  If you think this is the case or

==27941==    you are not sure, please let us know and we'll try to fix it.

==27941== Either way, Valgrind will now raise a SIGILL signal which will

==27941== probably kill your program.
