I was not right that you can use all XMM registers. On windows64 only xmm0-xmm5 are available free, the rest are SOE
(save on entry). For stabs calls we use C calling convention. It is described in .ad file where XMM registers are
defined (second parameter):
// Linux ABI: No register preserved across function calls
// XMM0-XMM7 might hold parameters
// Windows ABI: XMM6-XMM15 preserved across function calls
// XMM0-XMM3 might hold parameters
reg_def XMM5 (SOC, SOC, Op_RegF, 5, xmm5->as_VMReg());
reg_def XMM5_H (SOC, SOC, Op_RegF, 5, xmm5->as_VMReg()->next());
#ifdef _WIN64
reg_def XMM6 (SOC, SOE, Op_RegF, 6, xmm6->as_VMReg());
reg_def XMM6_H (SOC, SOE, Op_RegF, 6, xmm6->as_VMReg()->next());
...
#else
reg_def XMM6 (SOC, SOC, Op_RegF, 6, xmm6->as_VMReg());
reg_def XMM6_H (SOC, SOC, Op_RegF, 6, xmm6->as_VMReg()->next());
