hello,
imagine you have a static class method that receives a function
pointer, an int with the number of arguments and a variable number of
arguments.
in that static method you want to call that function (using its
pointer) and call it with the same argument list that was passed into
the static method.
sorry the bad explanation, maybe the code will make it clearer:
#include <iostream>
#include <stdarg.h>
//just a function to sum a variable number of integers
int Sum(int num, ...)
{
int res = 0;
va_list arguments;
va_start(argume nts, num);
for(int i = 0; i < num; i++)
{
res += va_arg(argument s, int);
}
return res;
}
//just a function to sub a variable number of integers
int Sub(int num, ...)
{
int res = 0;
va_list arguments;
va_start(argume nts, num);
for(int i = 0; i < num; i++)
{
res -= va_arg(argument s, int);
}
return res;
}
class Operation
{
public:
static int Calc(int (*op)(int num, ...), int num, ...)
{
//here is where the problem exists, how can i pass that argument
list to the op function?
return (*op)(num, ...);//ofc this gives me a syntax error.
}
};
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
//usage example
std::cout << Operation::Calc (Sum, 3, 1, 2, 3) << std::endl;//should
print 6 (1+2+3)
return 0;
}
thanks in advance :) 3 4340 ca************* @gmail.com wrote:

just a small EDIT, 'cause the function wasnt working like it should be,
its not really important to the problem it self, but ok.
correct way:
int Sub(int num, ...)
{
va_list arguments;
va_start(argume nts, num);
int res = va_arg(argument s, int);
for(int i = 1; i < num; i++)
{
res -= va_arg(argument s, int);
}
return res;

There is no way. You need to implement your 'Sum' and 'Sub' to take
'va_list' instead.
Find an implementation of "fprintf" + "vfprintf". The former takes the
ellipsis argument, the latter takes a 'va_list'. The former calls the
latter. You need to follow that pattern.

Mmmhhh ... I remember reading somewhere in this list, not a long time
ago that it was not possible with the current C++ standard ...
I think the common work-around is to use a macro that defines the
function with different number of parameters. You can have a look at
Boost.Function ( http://www.boost.org/doc/html/function.html). But the
idea is to have in the end something like that:
template <class R>
R calc( R(*op)() )
{
return op();
}
template <class R, class Arg1>
R calc( R (*op)(Arg1), Arg1 value )
{
return op(value);
}
template <class R, class Arg1, class Arg2>
R calc( R (*op)(Arg1,Arg2 ), Arg1 value1, Arg2 value2)
{
return op(value1, value2);
}
....
But IRC, it is a bit more complex if you want to handle reference types
(in that case, better use Boost.Function !!)

1. First it gives the code below saying that it prints 0 then 42.
They say that 42 is printed the second time since the value was wrapped in a
class and therefore became passed by reference.

Dear All,
I thought I understood using pointer variables as function parameters.
But I failed to understand why it is needed pass-by-reference of a
pointer variable.
To me, pointer variable is address variable, which holds the memory
address of the object. Using a pointer variable as a function parameter,
the function has the ability to CHANGE the object value pointed by the
pointer. Why needs pass by reference?

Hi,
I noticed in Python all function parameters seem to be passed by
reference. This means that when I modify the value of a variable of a
function, the value of the variable externally from the function is
also modified.
Sometimes I wish to work with "copies", in that when I pass in an
integer variable into a function, I want the function to be modifying
a COPY, not the reference. Is this possible?

I've read that C allows two ways to pass information between
functions:
o Pass by Value
o Pass by Reference
I was talking to some C programmers and they told me there is no such
thing as pass by reference in C since you are just passing an address
(or a pointer value address I guess?). So I was wondering is this
correct?
