about the callback function

[sandodo]

I am doing some source code on windows hook. The functions
JournalPlaybackFunc(), CallNextHookEx() and etc, I know,
are to build the loop to, for example, play back what recorded.
But the CALLBACks before the functions upset me, I am not clear
about what the functions are called through underground.
Does anybody can provide some information or drop
some web addresses on CALLBACK as referral?
Many thanks!

Does anybody has any information on the topic of CALLBACK?
I posted this thread a few days ago but nobody answered yet. :(

In the file windef.h, CALLBACK is #define'd as such:


#ifdef _MAC
#define CALLBACK PASCAL
#elif (_MSC_VER >= 800) || defined(_STDCALL_SUPPORTED)
#define CALLBACK __stdcall
#else
#define CALLBACK
#endif


On my system [with Visual Studio 6.0 SP5], CALLBACK winds up being __stdcall. __stdcall is just a way for Visual Studio to keep track of how arguments are to be pushed on the stack. There are others, too (eg: __fastcall, __cdecl, thiscall).

See the following links for details:
