Passing variable number of arguments around

Question

Say I have a C function which takes a variable number of arguments: How can I call another function which expects a variable number of arguments from inside of it, passing a

Answer 1

You can use inline assembly for the function call. (in this code I assume the arguments are characters).

void format_string(char *fmt, ...);
void debug_print(int dbg_level, int numOfArgs, char *fmt, ...)
    {
        va_list argumentsToPass;
        va_start(argumentsToPass, fmt);
        char *list = new char[numOfArgs];
        for(int n = 0; n < numOfArgs; n++)
            list[n] = va_arg(argumentsToPass, char);
        va_end(argumentsToPass);
        for(int n = numOfArgs - 1; n >= 0; n--)
        {
            char next;
            next = list[n];
            __asm push next;
        }
        __asm push fmt;
        __asm call format_string;
        fprintf(stdout, fmt);
    }
