-C-variadic has been used on a non-foreign function.
+The C-variadic type `...` has been nested inside another type.
 
 Erroneous code example:
 
 ```compile_fail,E0743
-fn foo2(x: u8, ...) {} // error!
+#![feature(c_variadic)]
+
+fn foo2(x: u8, y: &...) {} // error!
 ```
 
-Only foreign functions can use C-variadic (`...`). It is used to give an
-undefined number of parameters to a given function (like `printf` in C). The
-equivalent in Rust would be to use macros directly.
+Only foreign functions can use the C-variadic type (`...`).
+In such functions, `...` may only occur non-nested.
+That is, `y: &'a ...` is not allowed.
