How do I prototype and define a procedure that takes a variable number of
arguments? When I try the following on our Sun box:
#include <varargs.h>
void test(int a, va_alist);
void test(a, va_alist)
int a;
va_dcl
{
}

I get:
gcc -c a.c
a.c:2: parse error before `__builtin_va_alist'

gcc -E reveals:
void test(int a,  __builtin_va_alist );
void test(a,  __builtin_va_alist )
int a;
   int __builtin_va_alist; ...  
{
}

If I change the prototype to 'void test(int a, ...)' gcc complains that
a.c: In function `test':
a.c:5: number of arguments doesn't match prototype

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks?
