-# __thiscall
+# `__thiscall`
 
-**Microsoft Specific**
+The **Microsoft-specific** **`__thiscall`** calling convention is used on C++ class member functions on the x86 architecture. It's the default calling convention used by member functions that don't use variable arguments (`vararg` functions).
 
-The **__thiscall** calling convention is used on member functions and is the default calling convention used by C++ member functions that do not use variable arguments. Under **__thiscall**, the callee cleans the stack, which is impossible for `vararg` functions. Arguments are pushed on the stack from right to left, with the **this** pointer being passed via register ECX, and not on the stack, on the x86 architecture.

-One reason to use **__thiscall** is in classes whose member functions use `__clrcall` by default. In that case, you can use **__thiscall** to make individual member functions callable from native code.
+On ARM, ARM64, and x64 machines, **`__thiscall`** is accepted and ignored by the compiler. That's because they use a register-based calling convention by default.
 
-When compiling with [/clr:pure](../build/reference/clr-common-language-runtime-compilation.md), all functions and function pointers are `__clrcall` unless specified otherwise. The **/clr:pure** and **/clr:safe** compiler options are deprecated in Visual Studio 2015 and unsupported in Visual Studio 2017.

-In releases before Visual Studio 2005, the **__thiscall** calling convention could not be explicitly specified in a program, because **__thiscall** was not a keyword.

-For non-static class functions, if the function is defined out-of-line, the calling convention modifier does not have to be specified on the out-of-line definition. That is, for class non-static member methods, the calling convention specified during declaration is assumed at the point of definition.

-**END Microsoft Specific**
+When you define a non-static class member function out-of-line, specify the calling convention modifier only in the declaration. You don't have to specify it again on the out-of-line definition. The compiler uses the calling convention specified during declaration at the point of definition.
