Mix cdecl and stdcall calling conventions

I have an already built static library on Windows VS2012 (.lib), compiled with the stdcall convention. When I say "already built", I mean unfortunatedly I cannot rebuild it with the calling convention of my choice.

Is it possible to call a function from this library from a code compiled with cdecl convention ? Or at least do some kind of wrapper ?

I am not sure it is possible (after browsing SO, I am in fact almost convinced this is totally impossible) but some guy here vaguely mentioned there might be a kludge. Any idea ?

In the header for your static library, declare the imported functions as extern <return_type> __stdcall. See more about calling convention attributes on MSDN: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/zxk0tw93.aspx
