Used in place of procedure parameter to pass a variable number of arguments, or as the upper bound in an array declaration to denote that the number of elements will be determined by the initializer.
Syntax
Description
The ellipsis (three dots,
...) is used in procedure declarations and definitions to indicate a variable argument list. A first argument must always be specified and the function must be called with the C calling convention
cdecl.
In the procedure body,
va_first,
va_arg and
va_next are used to handle the variable arguments.
The other usage for an ellipsis is in place of the upper bound in an array declaration, this causes the upper bound to be set according to the data that appears in the
expression_list. When the ellipsis is used in this manner, an initializer must appear, and cannot be
Any.
Example
Declare Function FOO cdecl (X As Integer, ...) As Integer
Example
Dim As Integer myarray(0 To ...) = {0, 1, 2, 3}
Print LBound(myarray), UBound(myarray) '' 0, 3
