This has probably come up before ...

Is it legal for a compilation system to require prototypes when stdarg
functions are used ? It valid for the compiler to require you to include
the prototype:

	int printf ( const char*, ... );

before making the call:

	 printf ( "hello %d worlds\n", 5 );

? If not, where does the ANSI spec say so ?
