The parser knows about all the standard types and functions. stdio.h #defines its macros and tells the parser (with a #pragma) to turn on all the other stuff that is defined in stdio.h. Basically, va_list is an internal type which is aliased to the user visible name "va_list" when you #include . David Tanguay
