Very nice, this is the blog post that I wanted to follow up mine with: http://nickdesaulniers.github.io/blog/2014/04/18/lets-write-... I guess I still could, for x86_64. Any interest?

I believe the term for these patterns is called "lowering."

I really enjoyed your post. I actually know x86 better than ARM & I'd love to read a similar patterns post targeted at x86_64. Do you have a reference for the "lowering" term? I did a quick search & couldn't find anything--but it's a hard term to search for. Thanks!

Edit: Finally found a few references for "lowering" in the context of compilers. Here's a SO reference: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20252876/wanted-good-defi...

Thanks Jerry, I appreciate it. I wont let this post prevent me from self motivating to write the next post (and I have time now since I just finished my talk on WebGL (wow graphics is exciting))! I learned of the term from Dan, who reviewed my last post.
