Win32 API functions mainly use the stdcall convention. But while this is an interesting discussion, none of this is what I was referring to in my original mail ;-). I was talking about gcc's (and now GPC's) ability to pass an arbitrary number of parameters to certain function pointers.
I certainly hope you are misinterpreting the built in expansion for read, write, readln, writeln, and with.
No, I am not. I was talking about something different (pointers to functions).
Variadic functions are one of the fundamental insecurities of C, and simply cannot be made secure. They have no place in a grown up language.
Perhaps.
