Greetings, This problem is on an SCO Xenix 2.3.2 system running the 2.3 development system. While developing a program I had occasion to use <stdarg.h> in a program. I kept getting errors, and finally traced them down to <stdarg.h>. It turns out that there is an error in the defination: Original <stdarg.h> : #define va_dcl int va_alist; #define va_start(list, parmN) list = (char *) &va_alist Corrected <stdarg.h> : #define va_start(list, parmN) list = (char *) &parmN + sizeof(parmN) According to the ansi defination, va_alist is not there. It appears that someone ported the <varargs.h>, and either didn't test it or didn't understand the defination. I made these conclusions based on the manual for the Microsoft C 5.1 compiler, which gives a nice description of the differences between <stdarg.h> and <varargs.h>.
