llvm dev - Apr 2008 - [LLVMdev] Calling Conventions

I'm trying to understand the LLVM calling conventions.  Coming from a 
Windows C++ background, I'm familiar with three calling conventions: 
cdecl, stdcall, and fastcall.  It looks like cdecl corresponds to ccc in 
LLVM, but I'm not sure about the other two.

Best Regards,
Jon

Correct.

In LangRef.html, the stdcall and fastcall conventions you know are  
lumped under "cc <n>" for target-specific conventions, although
I
think there is special support in the LLVM assembly language for these  
two.

In CallingConv.h, they're available with the symbolic constants  
CallingConv::X86_StdCall (64) and CallingConv::X86_FastCall (65).

Note that fastcc / CallingConv::Fast is not fastcall. (It's actually  
an alias for ccc...)
