Re: Re: SV: [xml] windows binary with different calling conventions

No, the problems are the header files, not his binaries. They work
either way. The difference is if every implementer of libxml should be
forced to edit the header files, or use a specific calling conventions
even though they practically wouldn't need to. It's only a question
about who'll do the job. Igor, Daniel or hundreds of "innocent"
developers :-)

There are some scripts that depends on the particular look of header 
files. Adding
these little macros can (and would) break these scripts.

IMHO, the simplest way would be to just go and recompile libxml2 by 
yourself when you need
a different calling convention. Probably Igor can add one more option to

Win32 configure.js and
let user specify calling convention during libxml2 compilation. And this

should solve this problem
for everyone.
