No, VB doesn't require "@xx" suffices on function names.

The best way to make the functions in the libraries in the Windows

gcc or MinGW flags correspond to the
__stdcall declarative which must be placed before functions.
Apparently, the __stdcall decorator is used with gcc as well, so we
can define a calltype macro somewhere and use that. We may also need
to specify some options to the linker.
Note that if we make this change, it will affect all Windows users;
everyone will need to use stdcall. You can't have both. Python can do
either. Nevertheless, it frustrates me that VB can't handle the C
calling convention, so everything else has to change.
Does VB require the "@xx" suffixes on function names as well? This
will make life difficult for those using GetProcAddress (like Python
does). It is not normally a requirement.
