following is the implementation of my method
static VALUE myMethod(VALUE self, VALUE exc, const char* fmt, ...) {
// Need to get all the arguments passed to this function and print it
}
function is called as follows:
myMethod(exception, ""Exception message: %s, Exception object %d",
"Hi from Exception", 100);
Can you provide the code for myMethod()
that will access all the arguments and print them out.
Thanks in advance.
The va_start and va_arg macro's are used to get the variable arguments in a function.
An example can be found on the Microsoft site: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/kb57fad8(v=vs.71).aspx
In your case it's a bit trickier, since you need to parse the format string to exactly know how many arguments should be given and of which type they are. Luckily, the CRT contains a function for that. The vfprintf function can be given a va_list (which you get from va_start). vfprintf will use this one to process all the extra arguments. See http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/clibrary/cstdio/vfprintf/ for an example.
One way is to use vsnprintf().
Sample code:
char buf[256];
va_list args;
va_start(args, fmt);
if(vsnprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), fmt, args) > 0)
fputs(buf, stderr);
va_end(args);
You need to use va_start and va_arg macros to get the arguments.
You can take a look at this - it has some examples.
