I love it :-) Back in the distant past I wrote some really big ARM 32 assembly projects. 64 bit ARM is really very similar! I had a look through the code. Some ENTRY/EXIT macros to help with the drudgery of save restore registers & stack frame would probably help. Also some register renaming would help readability (eg if a register points to incoming data throughout a subroutine rename it pdata). I salute your effort and please enjoy the core dumps :-)

RISC OS had some amazing apps written ARM26/32 -- my teenage mind was boggled

Thank you! Definitely, some macros would probably be super helpful. Register renaming, too, I'm sure. When I started this project I didn't even know about register renaming lol, and at this point it's so big I'd have to dig pretty deep to find 'em all. Definitely worth doing, though, I'm sure.
