Works on 32-bit, fails on 64-bit linux:

import core.vararg;

void foo(...)
{
    string str = *(cast(string*)_argptr);
    assert(str.length == 0);
}

void main()
{
    foo("");
}

This might be the same as issue 6758, but I'm not certain.

This may be the root cause of issue 6047 and issue 6576.

The 64 bit ABI won't allow using _argptr directly. Instead, use the functions in core.stdc.stdarg.

The real bug is bug 7893: the spec says you *can* use _argptr in this way.
