64 bit examples for beginners

[zedd151]

As far as the 32->64 bit conversion program I had mentioned above it is a "no go".    While converting some of my own code, I found too many things that would still have to be manually adjusted. Things that are not easily done programatically. For now all the program can do is simple comparisons/conversions for registers and "dword"->"qword"; "dd"->"dq" and similar. Still saves a little bit of time, but nowhere near a full source code converter. Maybe next year.

The problem is that you would still need to proofread it to make sure nothing was missed, and even then you will miss things
The other thing is that 32-bit code doesn't even know about the extra registers.
How many times have we written 32-bit code and compromised because we don't have enough registers?
If you use SEH, that is totally different in 64-bit land.

Too many differences imho.

Hell no.    Nope, not me.

Thats for sure.
