+## Note About Variadic Functions
+
+Functions such as `printf()` do not have fixed signatures. That is, they
+may accept a variable number of parameters of varying types. Linux and
+Apple Silicon handle these functions quite differently.

+This is [explained at length in the chapter on variadic

+### Undoing Stack Pointer Changes
+
+A small tip concerning undoing changes to the stack pointer. You might
+think that changes to the stack made by `str` or `stp` and their
+cousins **must** be undone with `ldr` or `ldp` and their cousins.
+
+This depends.
+
+If you need to get back the original contents of a register pushed onto
+the stack, then an `ldr` or `ldp` is appropriate. However, if you don't
+need to get the original contents of a register back, then it is faster
+to undo a change to the stack using addition.
+
+Take for example the use of `printf()`. On Apple Silicon systems, you
+must send arguments to `printf()` by pushing them onto the stack.
+However, when `printf()` completes, you have no need for the values that
+you pushed. As shown above, simply add the right (multiple of 16) to the
+stack pointer. This is faster as the addition makes no reference to RAM
+(or caches) as the `ldr` would.
