The win64 or x64 object format generates Microsoft Win64 object files for use on the 64-bit native Windows x64 (and Vista) platforms. Object files produced using this object format may be linked with 64-bit Microsoft linkers such as that in Visual Studio 2005 in order to produce 64-bit PE32+ executables.

win64 provides a default output filename extension of .obj.

13.1. win64 Extensions to the SECTION Directive

Like the win32 format, win64 allows you to specify additional information on the SECTION directive line, to control the type and properties of sections you declare.
