After a bit of googling and a test with my local MSVC9 I think old-style

{
va_list p;
va_start(p);
vprintf("%d %d %d\n", p);

void main()
{
foo(1, 2, 3);
}
(the above runs and outputs "1 2 3" on the console)
The same syntax is/was supported by GNU C, see:

I believe, if you see an "old-style" function declaration in a header
file like:
int foo ();
that you can't actually assume anything about it's parameters, it may
have /any/ number of parameters, and may or may not be variadic.
Clang seems to interpret it as a variadic function. Then if that is
correct or not I don't know.
All my googling for "old style" "variadic" etc returned the use of
va_alist and va_dcl so I can't see where/why Clang would do what it's
doing.
