I guess I forgot some stuff for the target-features list. The next step, after I've been to bed for a few hours, is to rewrite the assembler glue that I copied from x86 - and probably quite a lot of the c-call lisp glue which I obtained in similar fashion - for x86-64 calling conventions. This thing has registers, and it uses quite a lot of them for passing arguments and return values to/from functions.

This blog has no comment-publishing facility: it's all done by hand. Feedback is welcome, though: if you would like to get in touch, email me on comment2010 @ telent . net and I will publish your thoughts (unless you tell me you don't want me to) as an addendum to the article, provided only that in my view they are interesting, amusing, relevant, accurate, or (best) some combination of the four. Relevant links are welcome in support of your argument: spam and untargeted requests for help are not.
