Since I put this out here myself I can call it a stupid question. :-(
So just in case if someone reads this that doesn't know the hardware
architecture is different between win32 and x64 so the names of the registers
are different to accomodate the 64 bit width, I suppose they could have used
the same names, but who knows.
Several good articles on this

Just to get you going.

I am running on a Vista 64/Ultimate using VS2008. For this example I created
a console application:
#include <stdafx.h>
int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
CONTEXT ctx;
DWORD dwEip = ctx.Eip;
return 0;
}
The stdafx looks like:
#pragma once
//#define _AMD64_
//#define _IA64_
#include <stdio.h>
#include <tchar.h>
#include <windows.h>
#include "targetver.h"
I have tried defining either _AMD64_ or _IA64_ with varying results.
If I use _AMD64_, which is appropriate for the computer I am on, I get the
above error.
Defining _IA64_ I get
error C3861: '__readgsqword': identifier not found
This is probably reasonable since I am on multiCore DELL box using an Intel
chip set.
Shouldn't the project just switch when I change my project type from Win32
to X64? What needs to be defined to get this to work correctly?
Looking at WinNT.h it seems that defining _AMD64_ should bring in the
correct version of _CONTEXT but it doesn't.
So how is this supposed to work? I have other programs that I have
converted from WIN32 to X64 without (major) issue.
