cdecl vs stdcall vs __thiscall

Promit Roy · 2002-01-16T20:13:03

What exactly do they do? I know that regular functions are by default __cdecl. WOrrds like WINAPI and CALLBACK are covers for __stdcall. Class members are __thiscall(i think). But whta exactly do these specify? Im told that __stdcall means args are passed in right-to-left order, versus left-to-right for __cdecl. That means nothing to me. Explain in detail please. ----------------------------- The sad thing about artificial intelligence is that it lacks artifice and therefore intelligence.

Part of the spec or not, you don''t want an _ in front of dll exports...
