+1.

Clang errors, intel warns and for gcc you have to enable the somewhat
obscure flag -Wconditionally-supported to see anything at all.

gcc looks to be a trailer on this issue. It's not about standards conformance,
its about making it easy for users to find bugs.

Source code I used is:

struct S
{
        S();
        S( const S &);
        ~S();

        char * p;
};

void f( int, ...);

void g()
{
        S s1;

        f( 3, s1);
};

$ /home/dcb/llvm/results/bin/clang++   sep3f.cc
sep3f.cc:19:8: error: cannot pass object of non-trivial type 'S' through
variadic function; call will abort at runtime [-Wnon-pod-varargs]
        f( 3, s1);
              ^
1 error generated.

I'll add flag -Wconditionally-supported to a build of Fedora and see
what happens.
