Why does WINAPI work on linux?

[sPlOrYgOn]

void WINAPI GiveFnptrsToDll (enginefuncs_t* pengfuncsFromEngine, globalvars_t *pGlobals)
{
// get the engine functions from the engine...

memcpy (&g_engfuncs, pengfuncsFromEngine, sizeof (enginefuncs_t));
gpGlobals = pGlobals;
}
I found that in the podbot2.6mm source code and it doesn't have #ifndef __linux__ or anything like that.
Why does this work?
DLLMain has #ifndef __linux__ around it...

You'll find this in other bots source too, e.g. joebot and yapb.
I never verified this but I assume it's defined somewhere in the HL SDK and the OS check is done during the definition of WINAPI.

this was in the namefunc.cpp right ?
that file is only linked with the rest on windows, on linux it doesnt appear in the makefile ( if I remember that one right )

no it's the dll.cpp in podbot..
and it has the metamod functions and DLLMain and other things. #ifndef __linux__
BOOL WINAPI DllMain (HINSTANCE hinstDLL, DWORD fdwReason, LPVOID lpvReserved)
{
// Required DLL entry point
return (TRUE);
}
#endif

void WINAPI GiveFnptrsToDll (enginefuncs_t* pengfuncsFromEngine, globalvars_t *pGlobals)
{
// get the engine functions from the engine...

memcpy (&g_engfuncs, pengfuncsFromEngine, sizeof (enginefuncs_t));
gpGlobals = pGlobals;
}
they're right next to each other but one is compiled in linux and one isn't. Yet podbot still compile on linux without any problems...

[@$3.1415rin]

ok, nothing like that in the namefunc, right ...

if that's there in the dll.cpp in some bots ( don't have such a bot on my hd atm ) I think that must be some calling convention definition, maybe solved to _cdecl, dunno. maybe you can try to get it using the browse function of your IDE, if that's supported.

from metamod/osdep.h:

// Windows uses "__declspec(dllexport)" to mark functions in the DLL that
// should be visible/callable externally.
//
// It also apparently requires WINAPI for GiveFnptrsToDll().
//
// See doc/notes_windows_coding for more information..

// Attributes to specify an "exported" function, visible from outside the
// DLL.
#undef DLLEXPORT
#ifdef _WIN32
#define DLLEXPORT __declspec(dllexport)
// WINAPI should be provided in the windows compiler headers.
// It's usually defined to something like "__stdcall".
#elif defined(linux)
#define DLLEXPORT /* */
#define WINAPI /* */
#endif /* linux */
