Attempted to pass an invalid type of variable into a variadic function. Erroneous code example: ```compile_fail,E0617 extern { fn printf(c: *const i8, ...); } unsafe { printf(::std::ptr::null(), 0f32); // error: cannot pass an `f32` to variadic function, cast to `c_double` } ``` Certain Rust types must be cast before passing them to a variadic function, because of arcane ABI rules dictated by the C standard. To fix the error, cast the value to the type specified by the error message (which you may need to import from `std::os::raw`).
