Using stdarg.h we can have function call with variable number of arguments. Is this also classified as function overloading?
Typically, function overloading has the implication that a different instance of a function/method is invoked depending on the given parameters. With variable arguments in C, the same function is called regardless of the parameter list. So based on that, the answer would be, “No.” The function itself could of course mimic the behavior of overloading (do A if 1 argument, do B if 2 arguments, etc.), but it probably would not normally be termed “overloaded”.
