When attempting to import a native function into a pure image, remember that the implicit calling conventions differ between native and pure compilations.

This code sample generates a component with an exported, native, function whose calling convention is implicitly __cdecl.

// LNK2028.cpp  
// compile with: /LD  
__declspec(dllexport) int func() {  
   return 3;  
}  

The following sample creates a pure client that consumes the native function. However, the calling convention under /clr:pure is __clrcall. The following sample generates LNK2028.

// LNK2028_b.cpp  
// compile with: /clr:pure lnk2028.lib  
// LNK2028 expected  
int func();  
  
int main() {  
   return func();  
}
