You misunderstand that.
XPCOM uses cdecl on Linux and stdcall on Windows.
The order of the parameters of XPCOM is compatible to the
safecall-concept, because the last parameter contains the returned
"object" and the return value is a HResult (or nsresult in case of XPCOM).
On Windows safecall is a wrapper around stdcall. On Linux we don't have
safecall currently and thus could make it a wrapper around cdecl,
because XPCOM uses this on Linux.
