Hi!
If I declare two functions like this:
int execute_command (char *name, ...)
{
va_list args;
va_start (args, name);
my_func (1, args);
va_end (args);
}
int my_func (int argc, ...)
{
va_list args;
char *str;
va_start (args, argc);
str = va_arg (args, char *);
printf ("%s\n", str);
va_end (args);
}
and call them from e.g.
execute_command ("my_command ", "my argument");
parsing of args is OK at the first function (e.g. if I cut & paste the
va_arg and printf part to the first function), but garbage is printed in
the second function. I'm surely missing something obvious, but I can't see
it. Help?
Thanks,
Andrej 2 4724

Um, 'char*' and 'int' are different types?
(taking literally your remark about cut/paste)
int i;
/* ... */
i = va_arg(args, int);
cut/copy/paste is a double-edged sword. :-)

in comp.lang.c i read: int execute_command (char *name, ...) { va_list args;
va_start (args, name); my_func (1, args); va_end (args); }
int my_func (int argc, ...)
args is a va_list, not a ..., so you cannot do this. make my_func's second
argument a va_list, drop the va_start and va_end, and use vprintf.
parsing of args is OK at the first function (e.g. if I cut & paste the va_arg and printf part to the first function), but garbage is printed in the second function.
didn't your compiler whine? if not you need to increase the warning level,
and if it did you needed to pay attention to what it said.

Hi,
I want to write a varargs function which then passes its parameters to
another varargs function. I have RTFFAQ:
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/C-faq/q15.12.html
which says that the other function should accept a va_list pointer to do
this. However, I can't seem to get this answer working.

Hi,
I have to write a function that gets variable number of parameters and
pass them to another function (existing).
The problem is that the prototype of the function I call has ",..." so
I can't just pass it parameters in the format of va_list.
The following code does not work since f2 doesn't take arg_list (the
prototype of f2 is the same as f1's)
void f1(char a ,...)

Is there a portable way to pass a va_list as a parameter to another

I have a function that takes a printf-like format string and I'd like
to use something like %V to pass in another format string and a
va_list to allow nesting. It happens to work on my compiler, but I
wasn't sure if it's portable to use va_list's as parameters to a
variable argument function because va_list isn't always just a...
