This what I have found : it may be usefull for ffi readers:

This is not very precise, but usually you may find sligth variations on a
variadic function such as:

int foo(int a, char b,int count,...);
int fooA(int a, char b, (void *) args);
int fooV(int a, char b, va_list args);

Each one implements an specific calling convention we should follow.

For Haskell wrappers, should not be difficult tryin to wrap the second:

foo :: CInt -> CChar -> [Arg] -> IO(CInt)
foo i c args = do
        ptr <- allocArgs args -- Following the particular calling convention
        b <- fooA i c ptr --Note the fooA
        return b

fooA :: CInt -> CChar -> Ptr a -> IO(CInt)
