What were you trying to do?
Something I shouldn't have been doing -- declare a function
with "..." to show a variable argument list, and then later
define the function using <varargs.h> instead of a <stdarg.h>
compatible with the hc method of dealing with "...".
What's wrong:
Hc did not detect that the function definition was not
compatible with the declaration.
What should have happened:
It should have printed either a warning or an error. I'm
don't know enough about the ANSI C spec to know which it
should have been.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
The file below compiles without error using hc. It shouldn't.
