Hy guys,
How to know when the functions from a library is stdcall or cdecl?

in some examples I see:
cinvoke system, XXXXX

and in thers... stdcall system, PAUSE


in the case of system, its from mvcrt, debuging its obvious it is cdcel.

But for example, wsprintf is cdecl

And its located in a library where almoste every function is stdcall.




so the question is, how to know when to use stdcall and when to use cdcel Without debugging ?

is there some other method then just guessing like
mvcrt.dll c runtime, should be cdecl
user32.dll winapi, should be stdcall

- ret xxxx
- documentation

I have the entire msdn library docs on disk for ref.
Another good ref is the C standard library headers.
Since we are in Windows sub-forum then i also say
that the only ones are cdecl is stdarg type procs.

"ret xxxx"?

retn 4, retn 8, etc.... is stdcall, the called procedure cleans the stack.

it's documented in the msdn, you could also see c headers
additionally procedures which accept a variable amount of parameters are mostly cdecl
