Ross' solution cleaned-up a bit. Only works if all args are pointers. Also language implementation must support eliding of previous comma if __VA_ARGS__ is empty (both Visual Studio C++ and GCC do).

// pass number of arguments version
 #define callVardicMethodSafely(...) {value_t *args[] = {NULL, __VA_ARGS__}; _actualFunction(args+1,sizeof(args) / sizeof(*args) - 1);}


// NULL terminated array version
 #define callVardicMethodSafely(...) {value_t *args[] = {NULL, __VA_ARGS__, NULL}; _actualFunction(args+1);}
