Page 267 of the "Microsoft C 5.1 Optimizing Compiler User's Guide"
(Page 337 of the "Microsoft QuickC Programmer's Guide") states that
error C2152 (pointers to functions with different attributes) is
caused when the following occurs:

   An attempt was made to assign a pointer to a function
   declared with one calling convention (cdecl, fortran, or
   pascal) to a pointer to a function declared with a
   different calling convention.

This is correct, but incomplete. Additional causes are mixing near
and far function pointers and mixing interrupt and non-interrupt
function pointers.
