1. cdecl
Now that we have support for calling "__cdecl" functions, will there be an
easy way to call functions with multiple arguments? Do we need to define it
for each call with a different number of arguments? It would be nice to
have this functionality. The only problem I could see would be whether to
pass a 32-bit float or a 64-bit double.

You mean a variable number of arguments.
I don't think it's a high priority to make this really easy.

Yes, otherwise you'll get an error from Euphoria.

Do you have a real life example that you are working on?

What I should have asked is, will this work? Will Euphoria just look at
the DLL and name and return the same ID without changing the parameter
formats?

Well, yes I do. It's a printf() type function. In this case, it would have
to figure out whether to pass a char or a float, or a long, etc. Now that I
think about it, it probably wouldn't be so easy to automatically choose what
to do. I'm guessing I'll have to parse the format string myself, but I guess
that's OK if what I said before works.
