variable argument lists and ..

[Peteris Krumins]

Hello,

Is it possible to use va lists if i prefare to define
functions as following:

(won't compile)

void
die(file, line, fn, fmt, ...)
const char *file;
const int line;
const char *fn;
const char *fmt;
{
/* code */
}

ps. also how is such function definition called?
(when i do not write 'int f(int i) { }' but 'int f(i) int i; { }')
Thanks,
P.Krumins

No, variable-length argument lists and K&R-style function
declarations don't mix.

Typically "K&R-style function definitions", but the standard
calls them "function definitions with separate parameter
identifier and declaration lists".

A recent thread here discussed why using old-style function headers is a
bad idea. You can read that discussion here:
