A function foo is defined as:
int foo(string, ...);

How to determine there are how many arguments in the list?

something in the first argument has to determine this.

Probably.

See the documentation for <stdargs.h> for details.

There is very little incentive to create new variable argument
functions in C++. Use function overloading or vectors instead.

Not necessarily. There could be some kind of sentinel value signifying
the last argument in the list (not that I'd particularly recommend this).
