Are there gotchas using varargs with reference parameters

Question

I have this piece of code (summarized)...

AnsiString working(AnsiString format,...)
{
    va_list argptr;
    AnsiString buff;

    va_start(argptr, format);         


        

Answer 1

Here's my easy workaround (compiled with Visual C++ 2010):

void not_broken(const string& format,...)
{
  va_list argptr;
  _asm {
    lea eax, [format];
    add eax, 4;
    mov [argptr], eax;
  }

  vprintf(format.c_str(), argptr);
}
