I have a C function that takes variable args, i.e. is of the form :
foo( const char*, const int, ... ) ;
I want to expose this function so that I can call it from VB(6).
My questions are:
1). Is it possible to export a function with variable args in a DLL?
2). How would such a functon be called from VB ? (Ok, this may not be
the correct group for a question on VB but, it is related to what I'm
doing ... )

I have never done so, but since the printf routines in the dynamic runtime
are also exported from a dll this should be possible.
2). How would such a functon be called from VB ? (Ok, this may not be the

I think this is what you are looking for: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-US/lib...k6(VS.80).aspx
A quick google indicated that this also works for vb6 (though it would be
safer to check in the vb6 documentation)
Note that I have never used VB, so I cannot tell you how you have to tell it
how to marshall your variables, but that should be standard stuff I guess.
microsoft.publi c.dotnet.langua ges.vb would be a good place to ask that
question probably.

Sure - just export it.

I don't believe that it's possible to call a varargs function from VB6 - at
least not while preserving the variable argument list feature (which, AFIAK,
VB doesn't have).
If you always need to pass the same number and type of arguments, you could
simply declare the VB function to have a fixed argument list it, I believe,
it should "work", but that's definitely going down the path of hackery
rather than solid design..

where fatal_error() just fprintf's to stderr and exits. I'd like to

Hi.
I'm looking for a way to define a function that's only effective inside
specified function.
Featurewise, here's what I want to do:
bar_plugin_func = function() { ...; setTimeout(...); ... };
wrap_func(bar_plugin_func);

I'm trying to investigate the maximum size of different variable types.
I'm using INT as my starting variable for exploration. I know that the

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
