Large memory! essentially unlimited virtual address space physical memory only limited by platform 8GB per CPU is expected to be common next year More registers and “big number” math Codecs, simulation, 3D, games Compression, encryption, finance Not everyone needs to port: 32-bit runs fine! AMD64: What to port, and how Some code really must be ported Drivers device drivers must “match the OS” 64-bit OS requires 64-bit drivers there are presentations focused on drivers Code libraries and .dll’s customers who port will require 64-bit versions You can’t mix 32 and 64-bit application code but OS IPC mechanisms work 32 ÅÆ 64 AMD64: What to port, and how Moving up to 64-bit mode A single source code tree Æ compile to 32-bit and 64-bit Windows® platforms! Programming for 64-bit Windows® is basically the same as 32-bit same API, a few different data types Types int and long remain 32 bits Only pointers expand to 64 bits “P64” Use size_t and new polymorphic types AMD64: What to port, and how Use portable / scalable data types Use int where only 32 bits are needed e.g. Index variable for a small array Use size_t where array may grow beyond the 32-bit limit Special polymorphic types for pointer math INT_PTR, UINT_PTR, LONG_PTR, ULONG_PTR These types scale to match the 32/64-bit mode AMD64: What to port, and how Code example #1 char *p; long Lval; Lval = p; // bad! truncated in 64-bit mode char *p; LONG_PTR Lval; // either 32 bits or 64 bits Lval = p; // works fine AMD64: What to port, and how Code example #2 for (int i = 0; i < S; i++) { A[i] += 3; } If S may exceed 32 bits, use: for (size_t i = 0; i < S; i++) { A[i] += 3; } AMD64: What to port, and how Code example #3 objectStart = (PVOID) ((ULONG)objectStart | 1); This is bad because we are casting a pointer to a long; it will get truncated when we compile for 64-bit objectStart = (PVOID) ((ULONG_PTR)objectStart | 1); Proper use of polymorphic data type AMD64: What to port, and how Assorted portability tips -1 != 0xFFFFFFFF (just use “-1”) Many Windows® apps use DWORD a DWORD is always 32 bits, make sure that is really what you want Use %p in a printf, to print a pointer Data alignment can affect performance there are alignment requirements in the ABI structure padding can affect portability AMD64: What to port, and how Explicitly sized types INT64 and UINT64 are always 64 bits INT32 and UINT32 are always 32 bits Think carefully before using these most often you really want INT_PTR etc. explicit size type are useful for shared data but you can typically just use int and long AMD64: What to port, and how Microsoft C compiler and libraries The 64-bit compiler emits SSE / SSE2 code The string and memory functions are optimized and should be used AMD provides optimized math libraries: ACML = AMD Core Math Libraries (BLAS, FFT, LAPACK, and more) AMD64: What to port, and how Microsoft C compiler and libraries (2) In-line assembly code is not supported put assembly code in a separate MASM file Compiler intrinsics are provided for effectively in-lining many SSE functions and other special functions AMD64: What to port, and how Porting x86 assembly code Assembly code is straightforward to port And worth doing for performance reasons In-line assembly no longer supported Use separate MASM file, compile .obj and link Take advantage of the new registers! GPR regs r8-r15, SSE regs xmm8-xmm15 New 64-bit stack frames, calling convention Carefully read the ABI document! ÆÆ “AMD64 Software Conventions” AMD64: What to port, and how Using the 64-bit registers 32-bit mov edx, 66 mov eax, [ecx + edx*4] mov ecx, [eax] //32-bit pointer 64-bit mov r10, 66 mov rax, [rcx + r10*8] mov rcx, [rax] //64-bit pointer AMD64: What to port, and how 64-bit regs: upper half gets cleared 32-bit code might look like this xor edx, edx // clear all bits mov dx, 66 // load 16-bit value 64-bit code looks like this mov edx, 66 // load 32-bit value // upper half is cleared AMD64: What to port, and how Function call args passed in regs 32-bit code might look like this push
