Syntax
__stdcall <function-name> _stdcall <function-name>
Description
The _stdcall and __stdcall keywords force the compiler to generate function calls using the Standard calling convention. Functions must pass the correct number and type of arguments; this is unlike normal C use, which permits a variable number of function arguments.
Such functions comply with the standard WIN32 argument-passing convention.
Note:
The __stdcall modifier is subject to name mangling. See the description of the -VC option for BCC32.EXE.
The __stdcall form is the only one supported by Clang-enhanced C++ compilers.
