   7         Description:    shows how the SDI_stdarg.h header include are used
   8
   9   1.0   06.10.04 : initial version showing how the SDI_stdarg.h header have to be
  10                    used if one wants to keep the sources platform independent
  11                    throughout all common AmigaOS compatible platforms like OS3,
  12                    OS4 and MorphOS, because all of those systems have a slightly
  13                    different way to deal with variable argument functions.
  14
  15
  16   Please note that this example is just for educational purposes and wasn't
  17   checked for complete correctness. However, it should compile and probably also
  18   work as expected. But please note that its purpose is to show how the varargs
  19   macros make it very easy to deal with variable argument based functions and also
  20   keep the sources simple and platform independent through OS3, OS4 and MorphOS.
