Re: Standard calling convention on Windows?

[Peter Cawley <lua@...>]

I'm not aware of any formal standard, though the de-facto standard is
probably __cdecl. Given that some of the API functions have to be
__cdecl due to variable argument lists, it makes sense to export all
of them as __cdecl. Though as a counter-example, all of the (recent)
games by Relic Entertainment use Lua via a DLL and export everything
as __stdcall (apart from the aforementioned vararg functions).
