Hi all, Proposal 277 is on the topic of a psuedo calling convention for windows, where on x86 you need to use `stdcall`, but on x86_64 it should be `ccall`. The base and Win32 packages both use extensive amounts of CPP to work around this. This proposal is to add a `winapi` calling convention that does the right thing regardless of the platform architecture. With the caveat that I am not well versed in FFI or Windows, *my recommendation is to accept. *This is a very small proposal that can immediately be used to clean up over 650 CPP invocations throughout the ecosystem. It's clearly a problem that people are running into, and we should focus on easy quality of life improvements. As usual, silence will be considered assent! Best, Sandy -- I'm currently travelling the world, sleeping on people's couches and doing full-time collaboration on Haskell projects.
