can anyone make please some tutorials about calling conventions WITH cheat engine ? Smile
cdecl, thiscall, stdcall etc..

i want to learn how people understand so fast the type of calling conv and how they read parameters of functions and are required to be stored in registers Smile

this example of tutorial is awesome, and to bad there are not so many , he is creating emulated version of a function at min 9:00

32bit conventions:
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86_calling_conventions
- https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/X86_Disassembly/Calling_Conventions
- https://levelup.gitconnected.com/x86-calling-conventions-a34812afe097

64bit conventions:
- https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/x64-calling-convention?view=vs-2019
- https://aaronbloomfield.github.io/pdr/book/x86-64bit-ccc-chapter.pdf

Conventions across different compilers / OS's:
- https://www.agner.org/optimize/calling_conventions.pdf

A site to test compiling code to assembly and see the output easily:
- https://godbolt.org/

Keep in mind, calling conventions are not all the same across compilers and operating systems. The main few (__cdecl, __stdcall, __fastcall, __thiscall) are generally implemented the same across the board, but not always. (For example, __thiscall can be implemented differently depending on the compiler, but will generally be done in a very similar manner as storing the 'this' object in a register and so on.)

Some compilers also implement their own conventions and setups for things.

The best recommendation would be to use a site like godbolt or a local compiler and mess around with your own program/code with different conventions and such to see how the output looks to get used to things.
