For code bridging MS and GNU codebases (such as wine, or lets say, GNU
runtime in windows if it ends up with non-MS calling convetions).
Then you want to use the attributes to call code from foreign world.
x86_64_linux is probably not very exact - we intended the ABI to be
generally useful for non-linux or non-GNU system (i.e. specified as
System V Application Binary Interface AMD64 Architecture Processor
Supplement with GCC as reference implementation). I believe Sparc and
other unixes are more or less following it too.
For MS I would probably suggest ms_abi (it makes it cleaner that the
attribute is affecting calling convetion). For our abi I am not sure, we
can sysv_abi or something else...
Sorry for the typo in your name!
