You say it doesn't exist, then you explain what it is?  BTW it's
"__cdecl", not "_cdecl" (though I wouldn't be surprised if both
forms are accepted).

    __cdecl

    Visual Studio 2015

    Microsoft Specific
    __cdecl is the default calling convention for C and C++
    programs. Because the stack is cleaned up by the caller, it can
    do vararg functions. The __cdecl calling convention creates
    larger executables than __stdcall, because it requires each
    function call to include stack cleanup code. The following list
    shows the implementation of this calling convention.
