[Mono-devel-list] Heads up: calling convention for delegates on Windows

[Bernie Solomon]

Related to this I recently thought that shouldn't all the functions testing
DllImport
in mono/tests be attributed as CallingConvention.Cdecl (though they seem to
work if
you build a libtest.dll but this may just be luck... - and I've been meaning
to get
libtest.dll built automatically but haven't done that yet...)
