Thanks for your reply. The gcc compiler uses %rdi, %rsi, %rdx, %rcx with -mregparm=4, but MS uses %rcx, %rdx, %r8, %r9, so that won't be enough. Also MS requires some space on the stack to be reserved for the 4 regs.

Someone has written a wrapper:

Hi!

On the AMD64 / x86-64Bit architecture, some arguments of a functions
are passed using registers, but there seem to be two different
conventions out there. The standard ABI uses 6 registers, but
Microsoft compilers use only 4. Because of that, code compiled with
gcc cannot call code compiled with a MS compiler without an ugly
wrapper.

Have there been any efforts to make gcc do function calls the MS way?
I guess this would be an important feature for mingw on AMD64.


  Does -mregparm=4 do what you want?


    cheers,
