[Mono-list] std call, how we do it in SWF

[Dennis Hayes]

Here is how we do windows dll calls in SWF.

		[DllImport ("user32.dll", 
			 CallingConvention = CallingConvention.StdCall, 
			 CharSet = CharSet.Auto)]
		internal static extern int MessageBoxA (
			IntPtr hWnd, string pText, string pCaption, uint
uType);

__stdcall is a Microsoft-C feature, so it is really a feature of your
compiler.  There are some macros around that you can use to make your C
code portable (not really Mono's domain), like STDCALL that get defined
to nothing on Unix.
