   I think this is the normal name decoration per the __stdcall calling   
   convention:   
   https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/cpp/stdcall?view=msvc-160   
      
   There's nothing wrong with it.   
      
   The default C/C++ convention is __cdecl:   
   https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/cpp/cdecl?view=msvc-160   
      
   Which prepends an underscore, except when exporting, if I'm reading it right.   
      
   The @size suffix is what makes __stdcall and __cdecl coexist without clashing.   
      
   Seems like either you should use __cdecl or you're missing proper function   
   declarations (with the calling convention/dllimport modifiers) on the   
   importing side.
