C has no stack (was Re: variable number of strings passed to function - how?)

No they are not. They are put on the stack in whatever order the
compiler writer desires. Assuming that the compiler writer used a
stack, which he does not have to do.

Damn it, where does this particular idiocy come from? I read this
particular falsehood every few weeks or so, right here on comp.lang.c.

Perhaps, in that "most frequently asked" posting we've been babbling
about, we need to add "most frequently believed superstitions"?
