Re: Delphi x64 inline assembler...

In XE2 assembler is screwed, sometimes it just inverts the logic in your code

Re: Delphi x64 inline assembler...

'loop' is in fact slower than dec ecx + jnz @... so it is not a big issue.

There are also some issues / missing opcodes in x64 asm.

Re: Delphi x64 inline assembler...

@ab

it maybe would not be a big issue if it changes loop for dec/jnz - apart from i COULD be dependent on the certain opcodes and their lengths.

However delphi exchanged look for an opposite instractions seq: dec cx / JZ ... ensuring loop would exit immediately

PS: after rereading my own report. Actually not even dec/jz, but just a jz without dec
