> There are 2 primary differences between the Windows ARM64 ABI and the macOS/Linux ARM64 ABI: variadic floating point arguments are passed in general purpose registers on Windows (instead of the vector registers). In addition to this, up to 64 bytes of a struct being passed to a variadic function can be placed in general purpose registers. This happens regardless of the type of struct (HFA or other generic struct). This means that a struct can be split across registers and the stack when invoking a variadic function. The Windows ARM64 ABI conventions are documented at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/arm64-windows-abi-conventions

Many thanks for looking into this port!
