__fortran/__pascal

The __fortran and __pascal conventions specify argument passing that is compatible with Microsoft FORTRAN and Microsoft Pascal. The following list shows the implementation of this calling convention:

Element Implementation

Argument-passing order Left to right
Argument-passing convention By value, unless a pointer or reference type is passed
Stack-maintenance responsibility Called function adjusts the stack
Name-decoration convention None
Case-translation convention Names translated to uppercase

To declare a function as __fortran or __pascal, use a declaration of the form:

void __fortran regress( double series[],

double *slope,

double *intercept );

Note that, in the preceding declaration, the modifier __fortran modifies the name immediately to its right, regress. Functions declared using the __fortran or __pascal modifiers return values the same way as those declared using __cdecl.

Note:

The __fortran and __pascal modifiers are identical; the two keywords are supported for internal code documentation.

32-Bit Specific

The __fortran and __pascal keywords are not supported in 32-bit compilations.¨
