Alternatively you can investigate the logging options -d cpu,exec,nochain
-- they will print out logging of the CPU state before each translated
block is executed, and disable the optimization that allows TBs to chain
directly to each other. (That last slows things down a lot but means
that you get full logging.) The commandline option -singlestep which
forces each TB to only have one insn might also be useful.
