NAME

adime_va_list, adime_va_start, adime_va_arg, adime_va_end

SYNOPSIS

#include <adime.h>

typedef adime_va_list;

void adime_va_start(adime_va_list ap, first_arg);

TYPE adime_va_arg(adime_va_list ap, TYPE);

void adime_va_end(adime_va_list ap);

DESCRIPTION

Because of weirdnesses in the C language, some things that Adime does with va_lists would not be portable if it used a va_list directly. Instead you always have to use this replacement API, which works exactly like the standard API for va_lists, but is more portable. Also, if you pass an `adime_va_list´ to another function, which reads an argument with `adime_va_arg()´, then the `adime_va_list´ will have advanced to the same position in the calling function as in the called function. In particular, after calling `adime_vdialogf()´, the `adime_va_list´ will have advanced to after the last argument used by Adime.

The following example shows how `adime_dialogf()´ is implemented in terms of `adime_vdialogf()´:

   int adime_dialogf(char *title, int x, int y, int edit_w,


                     char *format, ...)


   {


      int ret;


      va_list ap;


   


      va_start(ap, format);


      ret = adime_vdialogf(title, x, y, edit_w, format, ap);


      va_end(ap);


   


      return ret;


   }
