MS Visual Studio VC++: Calling Conventions - __cdecl, __stdcall, __fastcall, __thiscall, __clrcall,

these declaration is Microsoft Specific. 


__cdecl is the default calling convention for C and C++ programs. Because the stack is cleaned up by the caller, it can do vararg functions. The __cdecl calling convention creates larger executables than __stdcall, because it requires each function call to include stack cleanup code. The following list shows the implementation of this calling convention.

WINAPI, WINAPIV, CALLBACK, PASCAL etc. are actually macros which are defined in different include files in Microsoft SDK, below is an example:
c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Include\WinDef.h
#ifdef _MAC
#define CALLBACK    PASCAL
#define WINAPI      CDECL
#define WINAPIV     CDECL
#define APIENTRY    WINAPI
#define APIPRIVATE  CDECL
#ifdef _68K_
#define PASCAL      __pascal
#else
#define PASCAL
#endif
#elif (_MSC_VER >= 800) || defined(_STDCALL_SUPPORTED)
#define CALLBACK    __stdcall
#define WINAPI      __stdcall
#define WINAPIV     __cdecl
#define APIENTRY    WINAPI
#define APIPRIVATE  __stdcall
#define PASCAL      __stdcall
#else
#define CALLBACK
#define WINAPI
#define WINAPIV
#define APIENTRY    WINAPI
#define APIPRIVATE
#define PASCAL      pascal
#endif
