Yes but select partial platforms stdcall is default. It is up to the

mingw and cygwin is choosing cdecl. I find it strange since MSVC was
different.
Gcc is a uniform build environment. Not a uniform calling convention..

stdcall is not the default on any version of MSVC I have ever seen, cdecl
is; so mingw using cdecl by default mimicks the behavior of MSVC. BTW, the
versions I'm referring to are 6, 2003 (7.1), and 2005 (8). The fact that
Windows uses stdcall for most API functions does not mean that it is the
default calling convention.
