The ABI documentation for registry convention says that: long and ulong are returned in EDX,EAX, where EDX gets the most significant half. However this is only true for IA-32 architecture. For IA-64 architecture long and ulong are returned in RAX. NOTE: I have not checked if this is true, but tango.Atomic.atomicIncrement assume this is true

The assembler part of the ABI document is for the 32 bit x86 architecture, it does not address other architectures.

Now that x64 is supported by dmd, could the ABI document be updated to accommodate that? btw currently structs of size 16 bytes are passed via a hidden parameter rather than in 2 registers. Maybe even more registers could be used since there are more available.

Some improvements to the ABI page: https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/d-programming-language.org/commit/128f6bd7a4e8879a510d2364a96f2731375bc6f4
