  Is Turbo C++ (more accurately, the Turbo C compiler included with
Turbo C++) handling varargs differently than the previous versions??
I'm trying to compile a program that looks something like this:

common.h:
#ifdef PROTO
#define ARGS (a) a
#else
#define ARGS (a) ()
#endif

program.c: (PROTO defined)
#include "common.h"

void error ARGS ( (int kind, ...) );

void error (kind, format)
int kind;
char *format;
{
  code that uses stdarg here.
}

  When I try to compile program.c using tcc, it chokes at the line:

    int kind;

  with the error "redeclaration of error at line ##".  Any ideas?

  PS:  No, I don't have a manual.  We have a site license, and the only
time I use it is to compile programs other people wrote.

  PSS: The program supposedly compiles on previous versions of Turbo C.

  Thanks very much in advance..
