Bug#575077: manpages-dev: va_copy manpage doesn't specify the intended behaviour of va_copy

thanks

Friedrich,

I've added the following text upstream:

   The va_copy() macro copies the (previously initialized) vari‐
   able argument list src  to  dest.   The  behavior  is  as  if
   va_start()  were applied to dest with the same last argument,
   followed by the same number of va_arg() invocations that  was
   used to reach the current state of src.

Thanks for your report.

Cheers,

Michael

Bug#575077: manpages-dev: va_copy manpage doesn't specify the intended behaviour of va_copy

2010-03-23 Thread Friedrich Delgado Friedrichs 
Package: manpages-dev
Version: 3.24-1
Severity: normal


The section about va_copy() begins by musing about its implementation,
but doesn't explain how va_copy is supposed to, and can be expected to behave.

In order to get a clear Idea about how va_copy is supposed to behave,
I had to refer to the iso C99 standard.

(see http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/stdarg.h.html)

Kind regards
 Friedel
