I am trying to create a wrapper for a function that uses a variable
argument list (like printf).
I have tried the code below, and the first argument works, but not the
second.
What is wrong in this example?
(the program compiles with DJGPP 2.95)

// ---- 8< ---- 8< ----
// file: test.cpp

#include <iostream>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdarg.h>


void test_me(char *fmt, ... ) {
   va_list ap;
   va_start(ap,fmt);
   printf(fmt,va_arg(ap,va_list));
   va_end(ap);
   }

int main() {
   cout << "Test of va_list and co...\n";
   cout << "=========================\n\n";

   printf("The printf() function is working fine.\n");

   int i = 3;
   char *s = "Hello dear people";

   // The function test_me is a wrapper for printf.
   // How can I wrap a function with a variable number
   // of parameters?
   test_me("My arguments are %d and %s\n",i,s);

   return 0;
   }
// ---- 8< ---- 8< ----
