Calling a C function with a varargs argument dynamically

Question

I am programming in C against a third party library (in HP/Mercury Loadrunner) that allows a varargs-style variable size argument list for one of it\'s functions. I want to

Answer 1

Write it once with the preprocessor and never look back.

#define WEB_SUBMIT_BUFFER(name, val)         \
    do {                                     \
        const int size = 129;                \
        int i = 0;                           \
        int j = 11;                          \
        web_submit_data(&(name)[i++ * size], \
                        &(name)[i++ * size], \
        /* etc ad nauseum */                 \
    } while (0)

Or if the number of arguments is fixed for each specific call, write a script to generate preprocessor defines to hide how heinous that call is.

#define WEB_SUBMIT_BUFFER_32(name, val)      \
    do {                                     \
        const int size = 129;                \
        int i = 0;                           \
        int j = 11;                          \
        web_submit_data(&(name)[i++ * size], \
                        &(name)[i++ * size], \
        /* 32 times */                       \
    } while (0)
#define WEB_SUBMIT_BUFFER_33(name, val) ...
#define WEB_SUBMIT_BUFFER_34(name, val) /* etc */
