 # `__declspec`
 
 **Microsoft Specific**
 
-The extended attribute syntax for specifying storage-class information uses the **`__declspec`** keyword, which specifies that an instance of a given type is to be stored with a Microsoft-specific storage-class attribute listed below. Examples of other storage-class modifiers include the **`static`** and **`extern`** keywords. However, these keywords are part of the ANSI specification of the C and C++ languages, and as such aren't covered by extended attribute syntax. The extended attribute syntax simplifies and standardizes Microsoft-specific extensions to the C and C++ languages.

+# `hybrid_patchable` (C++)
+
+**Microsoft Specific**
+
+Use `__declspec(hybrid_patchable)` to mark a function as a hybrid patchable function. This attribute generates a fast-forward sequence. Fast-forward sequences are small x64 functions which contain no real logic, and tail-call the real Arm64EC function. Because fast-forward sequences are primarily used for hooking, if they are unaltered, execution is transferred directly to the Arm64EC function.
+
+## Syntax
+
+> `__declspec(hybrid_patchable)`
+
+## Remarks
+
+`__declspec(hybrid_patchable)` is an ARM64EC-only feature.
+
+**Example:**
+
+```cpp
+__declspec(hybrid_patchable) int Example()
+{
+    return 1;
+}
+```
+
+Generates the following fast-forward sequence:
+
+```
+EXP+#Example:
+  00000001400CE000: 48 8B C4           mov         rax,rsp
+  00000001400CE003: 48 89 58 20        mov         qword ptr [rax+20h],rbx
+  00000001400CE007: 55                 push        rbp
+  00000001400CE008: 5D                 pop         rbp
+  00000001400CE009: E9 BA 7A F3 FF     jmp         #Example
+  00000001400CE00E: CC                 int         3
+  00000001400CE00F: CC                 int         3 
+```
