I'm not sure you need to use assembly for writing the MSVC version, it supports the "naked" calling convention: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/cpp/rules-and-limitati...

Similarly, it has the "noreturn" decl spec: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/cpp/noreturn

It'd be interesting if that works the same as in GCC for the article 's objective.

MSVC doesn't support inline assembly for x86-64.
