@yglukhov, THANK YOU for nudging me into trying something!
If you look at the
[pdcurses](https://github.com/lcrees/pdcurses/blob/master/pdcurses.nim), it has
this code:
when defined(windows):
...
const PDCURSED = "pdcurses.dll"
{.pragma: stdcall.}
else:
...
{.pragma: cdecl.}
Doesn't this set the procedure calling convention for the rest of the file? In
the above example I gave, I added the _cdecl_ in the **pragma** part of the
procedure, but in the wrapper it's just:
proc wmove*(a2: ptr WINDOW; a3, a4: cint): cint {.importc: "wmove".}
So the abbreviated code looks like this:
{.deadCodeElim: on.}
...
when defined(windows):
...
const PDCURSED = "pdcurses.dll"
{.pragma: stdcall.}
else:
...
{.pragma: cdecl.}
# type declarations
...
{.push dynlib: PDCURSED.}
# procedure declarations
...
proc wmove*(a2: ptr WINDOW; a3, a4: cint): cint {.importc: "wmove".}
...
{.pop.}
Then I tried manually adding the _noconv_ to every procedure declaration:
proc wmove*(a2: ptr WINDOW; a3, a4: cint): cint {.noconv, importc: "wmove".}
AND IT WORKS! Funnily, it works with either _cdecl_, _stdcall_ or _noconv_?
Why?
