Argument Passing and Naming Conventions
Microsoft Specific
All arguments are widened to 32 bits when they are passed. Return values are also widened to 32 bits and returned in the EAX register, except for 8-byte structures, which are returned in the EDX:EAX register pair. Larger structures are returned in the EAX register as pointers to hidden return structures. Parameters are pushed onto the stack from right to left. Structures that are not PODs will not be returned in registers.
The compiler generates prolog and epilog code to save and restore the ESI, EDI, EBX, and EBP registers, if they are used in the function.
참고
When a struct, union, or class is returned from a function by value, all definitions of the type need to be the same, else the program may fail at runtime.
For information on how to define your own function prolog and epilog code, see Naked Function Calls.
The following calling conventions are supported by the Visual C/C++ compiler.
