CallingConvention.Cdecl Field

Cdecl = 2;

Summary

Indicates that the cdecl calling convention is appropriate for a method call.

For example, on a Windows platform the System.Runtime.InteropServices.CallingConvention.Cdecl convention produces the following behavior:

Element	Behavior
Argument-passing order	Right to left.
Stack-maintenance responsibility	Calling function pops the arguments from the stack.

[Note: This is the default calling convention for functions compiled with 32-bit C and C++ language compilers.]

CallingConvention.FastCall Field

FastCall = 5;

Summary

Indicates that the fastcall calling convention is appropriate for a method call.

[Note: On a Windows platform this convention indicates that arguments to functions are to be passed in registers whenever possible.]

See Also

CallingConvention.StdCall Field

StdCall = 3;

Summary

Indicates that the stdcall calling convention is appropriate for a method.

For example, on a Windows platform the System.Runtime.InteropServices.CallingConvention.StdCall convention produces the following behavior:

Element	Behavior
Argument-passing order	Right to left.
Stack-maintenance responsibility	Called function pops its own arguments from the stack.

See Also

CallingConvention.ThisCall Field

ThisCall = 4;

Summary

Indicates that the thiscall calling convention is appropriate for a method. This convention is similar to the System.Runtime.InteropServices.CallingConvention.Cdecl calling convention, except that the last element that the caller pushes the stack is the this pointer.

For example, on a Windows platform the System.Runtime.InteropServices.CallingConvention.ThisCall convention produces the following behavior:

Element	Behavior
Argument-passing order	Right to left.
Stack-maintenance responsibility	Calling function pops the arguments from the stack.
this pointer	Pushed last onto the stack.

[Note: The thiscall calling convention is the default calling convention used by C++ member functions that are not called with a variable number of arguments.]
