-Declaration of a function that takes a variable number of arguments requires at least one placeholder argument, even if it is not used. If this placeholder argument is not supplied, there is no way to access the remaining arguments.

-When arguments of type **`char`** are passed as variable arguments, they are converted to type **`int`**. Similarly, when arguments of type **`float`** are passed as variable arguments, they are converted to type **`double`**. Arguments of other types are subject to the usual integral and floating-point promotions. For more information, see [Standard Conversions](standard-conversions.md).

 Functions that require variable lists are declared by using the ellipsis (...) in the argument list. Use the types and macros that are described in the `<stdarg.h>` include file to access arguments that are passed by a variable list. For more information about these macros, see [va_arg, va_copy, va_end, va_start](../c-runtime-library/reference/va-arg-va-copy-va-end-va-start.md).
