@@ -59,6 +59,11 @@ Here are some other suggestions:
6) explicitly add const qualifiers on parm passing in functions where parm
is input only (somewhat controversial but const can be #defined away)
+7) when passing a va_list as an arg, or assigning one to another
+ please use the VA_COPY() macro
+ reason: on some platforms, va_list is a struct that must be
+ initialized in each function...can SEGV if you don't.
+
8) discourage use of threads
reason: portability (also see architecture.doc)
