C++ inherits from C the idea of argument lists. To do this, you use the ellipses syntax (...) as the last parameter to indicate that the caller can provide zero or more parameters. The compiler will check how the function is called and will allocate space on the stack for these extra parameters. To access the extra parameters, your code must include the <cstdarg> header file, which has macros that you can use to extract the extra parameters off the stack.
This is inherently type-unsafe because the compiler cannot check that the parameters that the function will get off the stack at runtime will be the same type as the parameters put on the stack by the calling code. For example, the following is an implementation of a function ...
