/** @file The header declares a type and defines three macros, for advancing through a list of arguments whose number and types are not known to the called function when it is translated. A function may be called with a variable number of arguments of varying types. Its parameter list contains one or more parameters. The rightmost parameter plays a special role in the access mechanism, and will be designated paramN in this description. The type va_list is a type suitable for holding information needed by the macros va_start, va_arg, and va_end. If access to the varying arguments is desired, the called function shall declare an object (referred to as ap in these descriptions) having type va_list. The object ap may be passed as an argument to another function; if that function invokes the va_arg macro with parameter ap, the value of ap in the calling function is indeterminate and shall be passed to the va_end macro prior to any further reference to ap. The va_start and va_arg macros shall be implemented as macros, not as actual functions. It is unspecified, by the C library standards, whether va_end is a macro or an identifier declared with external linkage. If a macro definition is suppressed in order to access an actual function, or a program defines an external identifier with the name va_end, the behavior is undefined. The va_start and va_end macros shall be invoked in the function accepting a varying number of arguments, if access to the varying arguments is desired. Copyright (c) 2010, Intel Corporation.

The parameter type is a type name specified such that the type of a pointer to an object that has the specified type can be obtained simply by postfixing a * to type.

Synopsys: type va_arg(va_list ap, type); @param ap An object of type va_list that was initialized by a prior invocation of va_start. @param type A type name specifying the type of the parameter to be retrieved. @return The first invocation of the va_arg macro after that of the va_start macro returns the value of the argument after that specified by paramN.
