18.10.1 Header <cstdarg> synopsis [cstdarg.syn]

namespace std {
  using va_list = see below;
}

#define va_arg(V, P) see below
#define va_copy(VDST, VSRC) see below
#define va_end(V) see below
#define va_start(V, P) see below

The contents of the header <cstdarg> are the same as the C standard library header <stdarg.h>, with the following changes: The restrictions that ISO C places on the second parameter to the va_start() macro in header <stdarg.h> are different in this International Standard. The parameter parmN is the identifier of the rightmost parameter in the variable parameter list of the function definition (the one just before the ...).220 If the parameter parmN is of a reference type, or of a type that is not compatible with the type that results when passing an argument for which there is no parameter, the behavior is undefined.

See also: ISO C 7.16.1.1.

Note that va_start is required to work as specified even if unary operator& is overloaded for the type of parmN.
