+C-variadic has been used on a non-foreign function.
+
+Erroneous code example:
+
+```compile_fail,E0743
+fn foo2(x: u8, ...) {} // error!
+```
+
+Only foreign functions can use C-variadic (`...`). It is used to give an
+undefined number of parameters to a given function (like `printf` in C). The
+equivalent in Rust would be to use macros directly.
