first, it was just pseudo-code. Second, Exit isn't a true function either. 
Nor Break. Nor WriteLn. Third, my point is that, despite it generates a lot 
of inline code, it isn't certainly impossible. And, fourth and last, I add: 
just like now there is a pseudo-type called "array of const" that the 
compiler handles in a special way, I don't see why there can't be a 
pseudo-type "TVAList" as well. FreePascal isn't interested in ISO 
compliance, right? so why bother?

I was just saying that Delphi can pass arguments to C/C++ code flawlessly 
(apart from ellipses) and in the exact manner you'd expect, so I don't see 
why FreePascal can't
