Subject: variable arguments to function
To: djgpp AT sun DOT soe DOT clarkson DOT edu

Hai,

If have written a function that must accept variable arguments. The first
argument will be the ammount of arguments given to the function. All the
arguments after this integer value, will be chars (or strings).

When i do the following, the compiler won't accept the char type in the va_arg
macro (i know this not allowed).. 

  struct texts temp;
  va_list args;
  int     count;
  char    what_part;

  va_start( args, no_args );                                 /* start up */
  what_part = va_arg( args, char );                   /* get what to do */
  for( count = 1; count < no_args; ++count ) {
    switch( atoi( what_part ) ) {
      case 102 : temp.f[count] = va_arg( args, char ); break;
      case 116 : temp.t[count] = va_arg( args, char ); break;
    }
  }
  va_end( args );
  return temp ;
}


Does somebody know a tric, so this IS possible... I realy need to give a 
different amount of arguments to this function.

Thanx,

--Stefan
