[issue45325] Allow "p" in Py_BuildValue

[Pablo Galindo Salgado]

Pablo Galindo Salgado <pablogsal at gmail.com> added the comment:

The va_start macro just sets up a pointer to the first function parameter, e.g.:-

 void func (int a, ...)
 { 
   // va_start
   char *p = (char *) &a + sizeof a;
 }

which makes p point to the second parameter. The va_arg macro does this:-

 void func (int a, ...)
 { 
   // va_start
   char *p = (char *) &a + sizeof a;

   // va_arg
   int i1 = *((int *)p);
   p += sizeof (int);

   // va_arg
   int i2 = *((int *)p);
   p += sizeof (int);

   // va_arg
   long i2 = *((long *)p);
   p += sizeof (long);
 }
