You could be passing it in as a function pointer to another function, that's planning to call it with fastcc calling convention. Or worse, you might be planning to call it with _stdcall (say, on Windows) and discarding the calling convention would be actively harmful. In other words, please don't do this.

Yesterday I realised that if a Function has the calling convention set to "fast", then it is a bad idea to call it through the function pointer one gets from ExecutionEngine::getPointerToFunction(). The problem is that when calling it from my C++ program, the call will be made C-style, while the function expects to be called the fastcc way. Could LLVM either warn the user of this,

...Help Workshop. There seems to be a problem calling MS HELP (hcc.exe) unless the path is specified as DOS filenames without spaces. * It would be useful if you told where to get Mingw, Perl and MS Help from. Maybe I am using wrong versions? * The manual needs to tell whether to use _cdecl or _stdcall calling convention for C/C++ code under Windows32. * A full working example of a package with a small C/C++ code would be very helpful. The package should contain all necessary source files and the commands to build and install it. ------------------------------------------------------------...
