calling convention alias.

[taazz]

I seem to remember that fpc suppored aliasing the calling convention something allong the linse of.

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. {$IFDEF WINDOWS}
2. {$DEFINE callconv = stdcall}
3. {$ENDIF}
4. {$IFDEF LINUX}
5. {$DEFINE callconv = cdecl}
6. {$ENDIF}
7.  
8. ITest = interface(IInterface)
9.   procedure Test; callConv;
10. end;
11.  

but I cannot for the life of me find where I used it. Any one can shed some light on how it is declared?

Many headers declare it (it can't be declared centrally since preprocessing doesn't cross unit boundaries).

You example is ok afaik, just use := to declare a macro rather than = and {$macro on}

I don't mind using an include file for this, assuming that it will work from an .inc file (I see no reason that it will not).

yes that is what I was missing, it is a macro and I have them turned off. That should teach me to read the error messages next time. Thank you very much.

Used for instance in ibase60.inc (https://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpc/trunk/packages/ibase/src/ibase60.inc):

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. {$IFDEF Unix}
2.   {$DEFINE extdecl:=cdecl}
3.  
4. ...
5.  
6. {$ENDIF}
7. {$IFDEF Windows}
8.   {$DEFINE extdecl:=stdcall}
9. ...
10.
