Additional notes (October, 2023)

Paper P2537 (Relax va_start Requirements to Match C) proposes to relax va_start to match C23, tracked via cplusplus/papers#1200.

Date: 2014-06-15.00:00:00

Rationale (June, 2014):

CWG felt that this is a question of language design and thus should be considered by EWG before any action.

EWG 2022-11-11

C23 removes the requirement that the last parameter be named for va_start. This is tracked in github issue cplusplus/papers#1374.

Although the current wording permits an ellipsis to immediately follow a function parameter pack, it is not clear that the <cstdarg> facilities permit access to the ellipsis arguments.
