arch switch

Saw this fly by on discord, not 100% on it

Not sure if this is useful to anyone here, but I used this technique for some shell code I had to switch between 32/64 bit on the fly:
_detect_x64_or_x32:
    xor ecx, ecx        ; ecx = 0
    db 0x41             ; x32 opcode "inc ecx"
    loop x64_code       ; ecx is either -1 in x64, and if so we jmp
    
x32_code:
    ; use fs to locatae system DLLs
    ret
    
x64_code:
    ; use gs to locatae system DLLs
    ret
