Just encountered this one the other day (not my code, a friend came up
with it). I don't know if it's in all C compilers, we're using the
(Berkeley) pcc. Try the following program:
main()
{
bar( 1, 2, 3, 4 );
}
/* You can't call this one */
foo( a, b );
/* This one gets ALL 4 args! */
bar( c, d )
{
printf("a=%d, b=%d, c=%d, d=%d\n", a, b, c, d);
}
If you run it, it prints
a=1, b=2, c=3, d=4
and the function foo is NOT defined!
