I find it amusing that they basically "rediscovered" the C printf() trick, AKA variadic function trick.

- ratboy666 6y agoBeing old... I read the article quickly, and had the same thought. Yes, C pushes arguments in reverse order... and we never cared if arguments were "under specified". Or over. Just needed to know where the first argument was, and how to get to the second, and how to return to the caller. The caller, of course, is then responsible for argument clean-up. Made sense 50 years ago... makes sense now. FredW
