The assembly code uses static allocation of registers, but because of the differences in how registers are used in Win64 versus Unix X64 - different registers are assigned depending on the architecture. dynasm makes this easy to do using macros; e.g. below.

With above in place, the code can use the mnemonics to refer to the registers rather than the registers themselves. This allows the assembly code to be coded once for both architectures.

I see...the problem is not the input parameters but functions calls **inside** iasm, right ?

Not sure I understand the question. Once the defines are there I can write following:

  | // Call luaF_close
  | mov CARG1, L                               // arg1 = L
  | mov CARG2, BASE                            // arg2 = base
  | call extern luaF_close                     // call luaF_close

As you can see above, CARG1, L, CARG2, BASE are all mnemonics that map to registers. However this is only defined in one place.
