On OpenVMS systems, the first element in the array contains the argument count; subsequent elements contain the INTEGER(8) address of the actual arguments. On Tru64 UNIX, Linux, and Windows systems, the argument count is not present and the first element has the address of the first argument. Formal (dummy) arguments that can be omitted must be declared VOLATILE. For more information, see Section 5.19.
