How to specify stdcall calling convention with gcc?

Question

Using gcc version 4.1.2, targeting Linux, could not figure out how to specify stdcall.

Found lots of seemingly related answers that all say to use the following:

typedef void (__stdcall *int)(int);

This is not working though.

The question, https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3054257/is-there-stdcall-in-linux, does not give the needed answer whatsoever, while https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13095869/is-there-any-equivalent-for-stdcall-in-gcc for whatever reason was painfully difficult to find while google searching and did not have a fully fleshed out answer. — KaPtain, Jul 19 '18 at 17:22
The second (I changed the order) listed answer might be useful for anyone researching similar questions in future. — πάντα ῥεῖ, Jul 19 '18 at 17:27

After much searching, I finally found the right answer incidentally to this stack overflow question: Is there any equivalent for stdcall in GCC?

The bottom line is to do the following (using #define to accomplish this is optional of course)

#define STDCALL __attribute__((stdcall))
typedef void (STDCALL *int)(int);
