Variadic macro trick

Question

What\'s the trick to create a variadic macro FOO(a1, a2, a3,..., an) such that it expands to FOOn(a1, a2, a3,..., an) for values of n

Answer 1

Improving upon James answer to add some flexibility:

#define VA_NARGS_IMPL(_1, _2, _3, _4, _5, N, ...) N
#define VA_NARGS(...) VA_NARGS_IMPL(X,##__VA_ARGS__, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0)
#define VARARG_IMPL2(base, count, ...) base##count(__VA_ARGS__)
#define VARARG_IMPL(base, count, ...) VARARG_IMPL2(base, count, __VA_ARGS__) 
#define VARARG(base, ...) VARARG_IMPL(base, VA_NARGS(__VA_ARGS__), __VA_ARGS__)

#define MyMacro0() Also works without arguments.
#define MyMacro2(x,y) [x...y]
#define MyMacro(...) VARARG(MyMacro, __VA_ARGS__)

MyMacro()
MyMacro(a)
MyMacro(a, b)
MyMacro(a, b, c)

Output:

Also works without arguments.
MyMacro1(a)
[a...b]
MyMacro3(a, b, c)
