Some programming language compilers generate asm that does call systemcalls directly. Go for example. | ||

Go does hardcode system call numbers on Linux, but it doesn't on Windows. Instead it follows the normal Windows convention of calling the userspace wrappers from kernel32.dll and similar libraries. https://cs.opensource.google/go/go/+/refs/tags/go1.25.6:src/... Unlike on Linux, the low-level syscall numbers on the NT kernel are highly unstable across releases, so programs that try to call them directly will generally only work on a very specific kernel version. | ||
