This makes routines like printf and scanf very awkward. They have to define a macro which expands into two calls; the first to a routine that marks the stack position in a global variable, then they call a bastardized printf that looks at the args backwards from the global variable content. Now, if you can live with that crap, I have nothing but contempt for you. galbp!bing
