CCS doesn't support variable length argument lists. This is an ommission, but CCS never claimed to be ANSI compliant. High Tech C claims to be ANSI compliant and does support variable length argument lists.

Both compilers do have their strong and weak points. A nice post on the internals of the CCS compiler is:

I never liked the variable length argument lists anyway.
