pascal

Specifies a Pascal-style calling convention in a procedure declaration

Syntax
   Sub name pascal [Overload] [Alias "alias"] ( parameters )
   Function name pascal [Overload] [Alias "alias"] ( parameters ) [ ByRef ] 
   As return_type

Description
   In procedure declarations, pascal specifies that a procedure will use 
   the pascal calling convention. In the Pascal calling convention, any 
   parameters are to be passed (pushed onto the stack) in the same order in 
   which they are listed, that is, from left to right. The procedures need 
   not preserve the EAX, ECX or EDX registers, and must clean up the stack 
   (pop any parameters) before it returns.

   pascal is not allowed to be used with variadic procedure declarations 
   (those with the last parameter listed as "...").

   pascal is the default calling convention for procedures in Microsoft 
   QuickBASIC, and is the standard convention used in the Windows 3.1 API.

   If a procedure definition has a declaration (with calling convention 
   explicit or by default) and the definition does not explicitly specify a 
   calling convention, then the calling convention is implied by the 
   declaration.

Example
   Declare Function MyFunc pascal Alias "MyFunc" (MyParm As Integer) As Integer
