The ANSI C draft allows the use of '...' for variable argument lists (3.5.3.3): "If the list terminates with an ellipsis ( , ... ), no information about the number or types of the parameters after the comma are supplied." It's the comma that I'm wondering about. In "The Book" (C++ Reference Manual, section 14.2) I see that no comma is needed before the (...). It seems as though cfront 1.2.1 accepts both forms. Will this always be the case? joe
