What is the default calling convention of static member functions in visual studio?

Question

What is the default calling convention of static member functions for Microsoft's compiler? Can I change it by placing WINAPI in front of it?

Answer 1

The default convention is what ever is set in the project options (C/C++ -> Advanced -> Calling Convention), this defaults to __cdecl (command line option /Gd)

Answer 2

The default calling convention is cdecl. Yes, you can override this and specify the calling convention. In this regard there is nothing special about static member functions.
