Just for everyone's edification: After using cdecl at work for some time and bemoaning the fact I didn't have it on my PC at home, I finally decided to try compiling it at home using MSC 5.1 under DOS. Compiled and worked first time. -- Mark Charette "People only like me when I'm dumb!", he said.

When I saw this request, I thought I was confused. Now I know I'm confused. If I open a QuickC file, and put cdecl( put my cursor under cdecl, and hit shift-F1, I get help about cdecl. This implies that it is already there. Since QuickC is a subset of MSC 5.1, what is it that I don't understand? -- Clarence A Dold - cdold@starfish.Convergent.COM (408) 434-2083 ...pyramid!ctnews!professo!dold MailStop 18-011 P.O.Box 6685, San Jose, CA 95150-6685

The second cdecl is a keyword in Microsoft's C language. (It's their way of declaring that a function was written in the C language, or a function that obeys C calling conventions -- you can look it up in their docs). -- Phil Blecker none of my ideas belong to me and uunet!inxsvcs!mwg i accept responsibility for that

The cdecl I was referring to is a program which analyzes C declarations and spits out amazingly good english descriptions of what the declaration refers to. cdecl in the Microsoft languages is a keyword which specifies that C style parameters and calling conventions will be used. This keyword (cdecl) is of use when Mixed-Language programs will be used (anyone remember INTER OPTION ASM or INTER OPTION COBOL or INTER OPTION FORTRAN :^( ). Again, sorry if I confused anyone on a PC out there. Get cdecl (the program) from your local, friendly archive site.
