* Igor Tandetnik:

printf is a counterexample of what? It uses cdecl convention, where the caller is responsible for clearing up the stack. Consider also:

printf("%d", 1, 2);

How would your hypothetical stdcall printf know to remove 12 bytes worth of parameters, rather than 8?

I think you're stupid.
