Subject: DOCBOOK: RFE #582822: VARARG and FUNCDEF together
This RFE points out that: Currently <FUNCPROTOTYPE> does not allow both <PARAMDEF> and <VARARG> in the same instance. This limitation is documented in DocBook TDG in <FUNSYNOPSIS>. This makes it quite awkward to markup certain types of C function calls. The current definition of funcprototype funcprototype ::= (funcdef, (void|varargs|paramdef+)) is an historical legacy (bound up in the way C compilers worked a decade ago) more than a designed constraint. The TC proposes to solve RFE #582822 by changing the funcprototype in the following backwards-compatible way: funcprototype ::= (funcdef, (void|(paramdef*, varargs?))) Comments?
