     34 
     35    Note that it is safe to write "void foo();" indicating a function
     36    with no return value, in all K+R compilers we have been able to test.
     37 
     38    For declaring functions with prototypes, we also provide these:
     39 
     40    PARAMS ((prototype))
     41    -- for functions which take a fixed number of arguments.  Use this
     42    when declaring the function.  When defining the function, write a
     43    K+R style argument list.  For example:
     44 
     45 	char *strcpy PARAMS ((char *dest, char *source));
     46 	...
     47 	char *
     48 	strcpy (dest, source)
     49 	     char *dest;
     50 	     char *source;
     51 	{ ... }
     52 
     53 
     54    VPARAMS ((prototype, ...))
     55    -- for functions which take a variable number of arguments.  Use
     56    PARAMS to declare the function, VPARAMS to define it.  For example:
     57 
     58 	int printf PARAMS ((const char *format, ...));
     59 	...
     60 	int
     61 	printf VPARAMS ((const char *format, ...))
     62 	{
     63 	   ...
     64 	}
     65 
     66    For writing functions which take variable numbers of arguments, we
     67    also provide the VA_OPEN, VA_CLOSE, and VA_FIXEDARG macros.  These
     68    hide the differences between K+R <varargs.h> and C89 <stdarg.h> more
     69    thoroughly than the simple VA_START() macro mentioned above.
     70 
     71    VA_OPEN and VA_CLOSE are used *instead of* va_start and va_end.
     72    Immediately after VA_OPEN, put a sequence of VA_FIXEDARG calls
     73    corresponding to the list of fixed arguments.  Then use va_arg
     74    normally to get the variable arguments, or pass your va_list object
     75    around.  You do not declare the va_list yourself; VA_OPEN does it
     76    for you.
     77 
     78    Here is a complete example:
     79 
     80 	int
     81 	printf VPARAMS ((const char *format, ...))
     82 	{
     83 	   int result;
     84 
     85 	   VA_OPEN (ap, format);
     86 	   VA_FIXEDARG (ap, const char *, format);
     87 
     88 	   result = vfprintf (stdout, format, ap);
     89 	   VA_CLOSE (ap);
     90 
     91 	   return result;
     92 	}
     93 
     94 
     95    You can declare variables either before or after the VA_OPEN,
     96    VA_FIXEDARG sequence.  Also, VA_OPEN and VA_CLOSE are the beginning
     97    and end of a block.  They must appear at the same nesting level,
     98    and any variables declared after VA_OPEN go out of scope at
     99    VA_CLOSE.  Unfortunately, with a K+R compiler, that includes the
    100    argument list.  You can have multiple instances of VA_OPEN/VA_CLOSE
    101    pairs in a single function in case you need to traverse the
    102    argument list more than once.
    103 
    104    For ease of writing code which uses GCC extensions but needs to be
    105    portable to other compilers, we provide the GCC_VERSION macro that
    106    simplifies testing __GNUC__ and __GNUC_MINOR__ together, and various
    107    wrappers around __attribute__.  Also, __extension__ will be #defined
    108    to nothing if it doesn't work.  See below.
    109 
    110    This header also defines a lot of obsolete macros:
    111    CONST, VOLATILE, SIGNED, PROTO, EXFUN, DEFUN, DEFUN_VOID,
    112    AND, DOTS, NOARGS.  Don't use them.  */
