Use cdecl calling conventions on Win32 · a74dd39b
The recommendation from engineers within Microsoft is that libraries should have a calling convention specified in the public API, and that calling convention should be cdecl unless there are strong reasons to use a different calling convention. We previously offered end-users the choice between cdecl and stdcall calling conventions. We did this for presumed wider compatibility: most Windows applications will use cdecl, but C# and PInvoke default to stdcall for WINAPI compatibility. (On Windows, the standard library functions are are stdcall so PInvoke also defaults to stdcall.) However, C# and PInvoke can easily call cdecl APIs by specifying an annotation. Thus, we will explicitly declare ourselves cdecl and remove the option to build as stdcall.
