I have many years of professional assembly language programming
experience. I have learned several assembly languages, but not one for
Win64. I also have a good general understanding of stack management and
call/return from compiler and operating system work.
Would it be useful for me to start learning the appropriate assembly
language and stack management? If so, I would like pointers to the
assembler and ABI etc. conventions.

Hi
At least 81 modules (44.26%) successfully build on Win64 now, up from 67
(36.61%) before.
At present the build breaks in main/bridges, which I can hack past, but
then modules like cli_ure and i18npool break, probably because they need
the missing Win64 UNO bridge.
This Win64 <-> UNO bridge has to call arbitrary methods, translate
arbitrary exceptions, etc. between UNO and C++. It has to be written
predominantly in assembly language, and needs to implement the platform's
calling convention, deal with its ABI, RTTI, etc. - quite a challenge.
Wish me luck, or join and help?
