Umm, actually I don't think it is stdcall thing at all.
When I reran the testcase after doing other things both the cdecl and
stdcall functions resulted in uncaught exceptions, I can't explain the
success with cdecl in my earlier report,
Sorry for the noise.
If I compile the callback-using library code with -fexceptions using a
DW2 enabled compiler, then both calling conventions work, as expected.
So is it a general requirements of DW2 EH that functions that are passed
callbacks as args be compiled with -fexceptions, if the callbacks may
throw? I don't see how else they could work
