There are two basic ways of passing parameters to a function: right-to-left and the caller removes them from the stack once the function is done, or left-to-right and the function itself removes them. The former is called cdecl and the latter stdcall. All those macros (aside from FAR) resolve to either __cdecl or __stdcall and denote the function's calling convention. They tell the compiler how to handle the parameters when the function is called.

You can ignore FAR since that is a leftover from the days of segmented memory architectures. All that went away with Win32 and its flat memory model. The various macros that all resolve to the same thing (like PASCAL and CALLBACK) used to be different things, but again that's all gone away in Win32.

[VS hint: highlight a macro and press F12 to jump to its definition.]
