this is for consistency with the way it's done in in the dynamic linker, avoiding a deprecated C feature (non-prototype function types), and improving code generation. GCC unnecessarily uses the variadic calling convention (e.g. clearing rax on x86_64) when making a call where the argument types are not known for compatibility with wrong code which calls variadic functions this way. (C on the other hand is clear that such calls have undefined behavior.) |

musl libc musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain. The 1.1 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and glibc functionality. For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file. Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on the project website: http://www.musl-libc.org/
