64bit inline assembly is not, and will never be supported. [1]
Inline assembly is not supported on the Itanium and x64 processors.
This in turn greatly reduced our maintenance burden, as we no longer had to support both GCC __asm and VC __asm. (Plus, our main development platform is Linux, we keep Windows for legacy reasons...)
