Under ISO C rules, this is illegal, since you must have a proper prototype in
scope when calling variable argument functions. In fact, I have worked on
several GCC ports, where the compiler uses a different calling sequence for
variable argument functions than it does for normal functions. For example, on
the Mips, if the first argument is floating point and the number of arguments
is not variable, it is passed in a FP register, instead of an integer
register. For variable argument functions, everything is passed in the integer
registers.
