Anyway, is there really any reason to superoptimise on Windows itself, why not do it on Linux and use it everywhere, does the noise produced by the OS really matter?
Ok, the function call ABI is different (Win64 vs system v), so when you enter your function some stuff will be on the stack rather than in registers, but apart from that, will anything really change? Why not go the GMP way which just add some prologue/epilogue to its system v function abi assembly implems to deals with the different windows 64 ABI? There might also be functions using longs of different size in their input, but are there really any assembly functions eating longs as input? And there is the stack rewinding or structured exception handling stuff that also needs to be dealt with but can't it be done around the core assembly implems as for dealing with the different function call ABI? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mpir-devel" group.
