Description

If too few arguments are sent to a function, the function will still pop the expected number of arguments from the stack. Potentially, a variable number of arguments could be exhausted in a function as well. (from TCCLASP-5_6_2_10) (CWE 234) Note: some compilers that check whether too few arguments are sent to a function might not compile this test case example.
