Hi, I think that this it's not planned. I read about this in different topic (see http://groups.google.com/group/v8-users/browse_thread/thread/5fd6ecf85e396a02/c69179b839a3fe79?pli=1) and the answer looks like it was never planned and it's a design problem.
If you want to start, you can look at AsmJit library (http://code.google.com/p/asmjit/). It contains similar API that is in V8 Assembler class for IA32, but the API supports code generation for both 32 bit and 64 bit mode. Personally I thing that different calling conventions are not problem, it just needs some abstraction:) Cheers - Petr (I'm not in V8 team) 2009/3/27 Piotr Jaroszyński <[email protected]>: > > Hello, > > Is porting v8 to 64bit in roadmap any time soon?
