[comp.lang.c++] comma ellipsis

joemac@apple.UUCP (Joe MacDougald) (12/08/87)

I'm not sure if this has been addressed already...

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?
