- the interface has to be managed by the Cygwin1 dll.

I tried this:

int test (int x) {
    return x + 1;
}
g++ -S -O2 t.cpp

Assembly output from g++ or clang:

_Z4testi:
.LFB0:
        .seh_endprologue
        leal    1(%rcx), %eax
        ret
        .seh_endproc

The Win64 ABI has the paramter in ecx or rcx, the SysV ABI has it in edi.

A dump of the object file shows it is in COFF64 format.

The object file obeys the Win64 ABI and links directly into a Win64 project. The cygwin dll is not needed if the rest of the executable is made with another compiler.

The executable runs under Windows, not under Linux.
