Using C's va_list in Rust (and why you never should)

Details

Dan Robertson will go over the variadic argument handling work he just got merged to libcore (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/49878 (congrats, Dan!)), including the gap it addresses in Rust's C FFI story and diagrams illustrating some of the tricky memory layout details.

Dan resides on the Internet at http://dlrobertson.com/. We'll post slides to this page after the event.

Recurring meetup every 2nd Thursday of the month.

Pizza will be provided (feel free to suggest toppings).

The venue is a 3 minute walk from the Ballston Metro Station. Vehicle parking is available in the building's garage entering from

N. Vermont St (Google Maps ( https://goo.gl/maps/KUxYUBHMDV52 ))

and Distil Networks will validate parking (yay!). If the elevators or front doors are locked before 7 (we are trying to have them remain unlocked), please feel free to call/text Scott at 732.759.0006 and we will come let you up. If you park below the building, the doors to the elevator area should now also be unlocked.
