ARM64 version

[craigloewen-msft]

Is your feature request about something that is currently impossible or hard to do? Please describe the problem.

Is it possible to add a dedicated ARM64 version of gVim for Windows?

Describe the solution you'd like

An arm64 architecture version of gVim for Windows to be shipped.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Right now gVim for Windows works on ARM but it's emulated. It would be great to get a native version.

Additional context

None.

It seems there is no Windows ARM64 image support available yet at Appveyor. And even it there was, it may take some time to tweak the build process. I don't have a machine to test this out.

@chrisbra can you reach out to Craig and myself about that 2nd problem? [email protected]; [email protected]

@chrisbra happy to send a device to you for testing.

For Appveyor Arm64, is this needed for unit tests or for building? Looks like it could do an Azure image which does have Windows on Arm. https://www.appveyor.com/docs/server/running-builds-on-azure/

I did reach out to the mentioned two email addresses

Hi @chrisbra we didn't end up receiving that mail, could you send it again? Maybe try: [email protected]

Tried again from my usual address (you can check the git commits). You should have received it. Thanks
