If you'd use

#include <stdarg.h>
int data[] = {0x00000000, 0x80000000, 0x00000cd0};
struct ieee {
        unsigned int mantissa1:32;
        unsigned int mantissa0:30;
        unsigned int quiet_nan:1;
        unsigned int one:1;
        unsigned int exponent:15;
        unsigned int negative:1;
        unsigned int empty:16;
} *pieee = data;
long double *doub = (long double *) data;
void foo (int a, ...)
{
  va_list va;
  va_start (va, a);
  char *ret = 0;
  vasprintf (&ret, "%.35Lg", va);
  printf ("%s\n", ret);
}
int main()
{
  char *ret = 0;
  printf ("%.35Lg\n", *doub);
  asprintf (&ret, "%.35Lg", *doub);
  printf ("%s\n", ret);
  foo (1, *doub);
}

you'd see everything works as expected.  See also the definition of
'data' with the extra bit set.  Anything else is invalid code and
according to the GIGO principle you get what you deserve.
