| <h3 class="section">13.2 Traditional macros, <samp><span class="file">varargs.h</span></samp></h3> |
| |
| <p>If your C compiler predates ANSI C, you may still be able to use |
| variable argument lists using the macros from the <samp><span class="file">varargs.h</span></samp> |
| header file. These macros resemble their ANSI counterparts, but have |
| important differences in usage. In particular, since traditional C has |
| no declaration mechanism for variable argument lists, two additional |
| macros are provided simply for the purpose of defining functions with |
| variable argument lists. |
| |
| <p>As with <samp><span class="file">stdarg.h</span></samp>, the type <code>va_list</code> is used to hold a data |
| structure representing a variable argument list. |
