64-Bit Assembler

Just a few points for now:

Important articles:

Interesting 64-bit assembler articles with Hello World example:

These versions of ML64 came to my knowledge:

8.00.2207.0: One of the very first versions. Doesn't support many features.

8.00.40310.49: Comes with PSDK Windows Server 2003 R2 and Windows DDK. This version contains at least one annoying bug and therefore is unusable for real coding!

8.00.40607.16: Came with VS2005 beta 1. I didn't test it, probably buggy.

8.00.50215.44: Came with VS2005 beta 2. Seems to be as stable as the following.

8.00.50727.42: The latest version from VS2005. PROC directive doesn't support new calling convention, more see below.

Some features of ML64:

The only possible calling convention is the new win64 FASTCALL

PROC directive doesn't support this convention , it behaves as STDCALL convention

PROTO is supported, INVOKE is not supported

Manhattan have offered me some macros to enable FASTCALL procedures, but their syntax is ugly. I'll see if I can simplify the syntax.

Credit: Thanks to Manhattan for most of these informations.
