I cannot. GCC supports AT&T sytax only. Visual C does not support any inline 
assembly in 64 bit mode: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/wbk4z78b.aspx 
(And I can confirm that is true). However, we might be able to test it with 
your ICC compiler, since it works on Win64 and supports inline assembly.

This is clearly cdecl. I also compiled it with GCC on linux, and it generates 3 
different types of assembly code depending on the calling convention. I will 
send it privately to you. (Perhaps this whole chat could be private, I am not 
sure many people are interested. If someone wants to join this discussion about 
low level stuff, just send me an email)

Intel really says that cdecl and stdcall only affects Windows. But this is not 
true.
