Not directly, however it is common (and you will find almost universally the case in the standard library) for variadic functions to come in pairs with a varargs
style alternative function. e.g. printf
/vprintf
The v… functions take a va_list parameter, the implementation of which is often done with compiler specific ‘macro magic’, but you are guaranteed that calling the v… style function from a variadic function like this will work:
#include <stdarg.h>
int m_printf(char *fmt, ...)
{
int ret;
/* Declare a va_list type variable */
va_list myargs;
/* Initialise the va_list variable with the ... after fmt */
va_start(myargs, fmt);
/* Forward the '...' to vprintf */
ret = vprintf(fmt, myargs);
/* Clean up the va_list */
va_end(myargs);
return ret;
}
This should give you the effect that you are looking for.
If you are considering writing a variadic library function you should also consider making a va_list style companion available as part of the library. As you can see from your question, it can be prove useful for your users.
