- Here's something all the books love to avoid: The use of ... in function
- declarations. For example, one book says that the prototype of printf() is
-
- int printf(const char *fmt_string, ...);
-
- but nowhere in the book does it ever document the meaning or usage of ...
- . (actually, it did document ..., but because it was also a C++ book as
- well, it said that ... is used to catch all the exceptions in exception
- handling). I scrambled through some other C books, but they never made any
- explanations at all.
-
- Doesn't anyone know what it does? I don't like to learn things without
- learning it completely.
