====== Calling Convention ======

 

For 32 bit DLLs (such as KERNEL32, GDI32, and USER32), use the stdcall calling convention.                                                                                                                                                                                  
For 16 bit DLLs, there are two supported calling conventions, //pascal// and //cdecl//. The calling convention specifies how parameters are passed on the stack to a DLL.
                                                                                                
*  **//pascal//**. The pascal calling convention is the default calling convention for exported functions from C DLLs. KERNEL (KRNL286.EXE in standard mode and KRNL386.EXE in enhanced mode), USER (USER.EXE), and GDI (GDI.EXE) all use the pascal calling convention.
 
*  **//cdecl//**. The cdecl calling convention is supported by BASIC+, but is not typically used to export functions from DLLs.                                                                                                                                             
If you are unsure of the calling convention for a function in a 16-bit DLL, assume that it is pascal.
