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.
