Variable number of arguments in registers

[Jaap van Ganswijk <ganswijk@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm still wondering how current RISC processors that
have only a limited number of registers in which they try
to convey the function arguments, do this when there
is an unknown number of arguments, like in printf().

Is there any acceptable solution to this problem?

Groeten,
Jaap
