What I mean is that under Delphi XE2 in x64 mode, if I type this:

rcx,qword ptr gs:[$30]

I get this generated code:

65488B0D30000000

but if I type the "abs" keyword, I get this:

65488B0C2530000000

while if I do it in x86 mode, I get this :

mov     ecx,dword ptr fs:[$18]

648B0D18000000

so it seems that for Delphi XE2 in x64, the default mode, when no 
keyword is specified, is to use "relative" indexing which is definitely 
not what I want.
Freepascal, however, appears to use absolute indexing in all mode in 
this instance, which is fine by me, but something to keep in mind when 
porting the code.
