[cfe-dev] Has something changed in variadic function call ABI...?

[Fons Rademakers]

I am now checking what is changed in the emitted code to understand what is 
going on. This code is generated by our dictionary generator that generates 
stubs for all global, static, member and virtual member functions you may 
find in a C++ class.

However, your small example gave me some ideas how I might get rid of 
assembler for all the cases. Thanks.

Cheers, Fons.
