[Winpcap-users] [4.0.2]pcap_handler calling convention

[Gianluca Varenni]

More than changing the calling convention from __cdecl to __stdcall (which 
is a breaking change), it should be documented somewhere that the callback 
must use the __cdecl calling convention. Or maybe providing a macro like 
PCAP_CALLBACK_CALLCONV.

Have a nice day
