# `abi_thiscall` The tracking issue for this feature is: [#42202] [#42202]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/42202 ------------------------ The MSVC ABI on x86 Windows uses the `thiscall` calling convention for C++ instance methods by default; it is identical to the usual (C) calling convention on x86 Windows except that the first parameter of the method, the `this` pointer, is passed in the ECX register.
