Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

  Keyword:   __stdcall
 
  Syntax:    __stdcall declarator
 
  Summary:   Specifies that the arguments of the designated function
             are pushed right to left and that an underscore is
             prepended to the name. The __stdcall operator is
             functionally similar to __cdecl, except that no underscore
             is prepended to the function name.
 
  See also:  /Gc, /Gd, /Gz, /Zc
             __cdecl, __interrupt, __loadds, __pascal, __syscall
 
     If a prototype for the function exists and takes a fixed
     number of arguments, the callee pops the stack; otherwise, the
     caller pops the stack.
 
     If a function is marked as __stdcall and has a variable number of
     arguments, it is implemented as __cdecl. If a Pascal function has
     a variable number of arguments, the compiler reports an error.
 
     The calling convention specified in a prototype or a declaration
     overrides any convention specified by a command-line switch.
