STDCALL.._FUNC

[Alex Ionescu]

Hi,

Why is everyone adding _FUNC to the definitions? I was removing them in 
my new headers because they seem totally useless, plus some people told 
me that they had no point. But I just see GvG adding more of them. I 
don't understand what their point is?

Best regards,

The point is that

void STDCALL (*Func)(void);

is wrong. It should be:

void (STDCALL *Func)(void);

This is equivalent to:

void STDCALL_FUNC(*Func)(void);

I don't really like the last form (STDCALL_FUNC), but that's just a personal
preference. I used that form in my last change 'cause it was already used in
the file.

If it's wrong then why do all the MS Headers do it that way? And why it 
is wrong?
