177 unexpected failures. Many of the failures (but not all) happen because of
<br /> different calling conventions between Win64 and basically
everything else on x86-64, <br /> in particular the different registers
used for argument passing.<br /> I see basically the following approaches
to this:<br /> <br /> 1) Add some working target triple to the
failing tests. (Like
</span></span></span></span></span>x86_64-apple-darwin
or x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.)<br /> <br /> 2) Relax the tested patterns,
so that they are less picky about the registers used for <br /> argument
passing.<br /> <br /> 3) Basically like point 1, but add another
pattern for Win64.<br /> <br />4) XFAIL the test for Win64. (That
would be the poorest solution.)<br /><br /> I could possibly provide
some patches, but I would like to know if there is a preferred solution.<br
/> <br /> Bye<br /> Dirk<br /><br /></div>
