Since an obvious implementation of va_list is to make it a pointer into the stack frame, implementing va_copy as "dst = src" will work on many systems. Platforms that use something different (e.g., a size-1 array of structs, to be assigned with *(dst) = *(src)) will need some other compatibility macro, though. Luckily, as the glibc manual hints, such systems tend to provide the __va_copy macro (introduced in GCC in March, 1997). By using that if it is available, we can cover our bases pretty well. Discovered by building with CC="gcc -std=c89" on an amd64 machine: $ make CC=c89 strbuf.o [...] strbuf.c: In function 'strbuf_vaddf': strbuf.c:211:2: error: incompatible types when assigning to type 'va_list' from type 'struct __va_list_tag *' make: *** [strbuf.o] Error 1 Explained-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>maint
