Which C calling convention does CEF use on Windows?

[cybersight]

For callbacks, CEF seems to be using stdcall based on the CEF_CALLBACK macro defined in cef_export.h. But what about top level functions like cef_initialize and cef_execute_process? Do they also use stdcall, or just cdecl?

Code: Select all

cef_export.h

#if defined(OS_WIN)
#define CEF_CALLBACK __stdcall
#else
#define CEF_CALLBACK
#endif

From the same file:

Code: Select all

#define CEF_EXPORT __declspec(dllexport)

From the same file:

Code: Select all

#define CEF_EXPORT __declspec(dllexport)

I'm not a C programmer and that line doesn't mention cdecl OR stdcall so it doesn't mean anything to me.

Also, https://stackoverflow.com/a/8036188 says that __declspec(dllexport) has no influence on calling convention.

Can you provide a clearer answer?

Sorry for being unclear. cdecl is the default calling convention for C and C++ programs. See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/c ... w=msvc-170

Thanks

I know Win32 system calls use stdcall, so I wasn't sure if that made it the default on Windows even though cdecl is the default in general.
