Hello, 
this programm compile successfully with dmd but with 
gdc i get the following error message: 

v_args1.d:6: template instance va_start!(char[]) va_start is not a template 
declaration, it is a function 
v_args1.d:6: function expected before (), not 'void' 



import std.c.stdarg; 

int foo(char[] x, ...) { 

va_list ap; 
va_start!(typeof(x))(ap, x); 
printf("&x = %p, ap = %p\n", &x, ap); 
printf("%.*s\n",x); 

int i; 
i = va_arg!(typeof(i))(ap); 
printf("i = %d\n", i); 
va_end(ap); 

return i; 
} 

int main() { 
int j; 

j = foo("hello", 3); 
printf("j = %d\n", j); 

return 0; 
}

Argh, I didn't implement va_start correctly.  As a workaround, you can 
use "va_start(ap,x);"

Is foo supposed to be an "extern(C)" function?  If not, you can use the 
predefined variable "_argptr" and there is no need to call va_start.

Thank you for the quick answer
