Is it possible to do Xojo declares to a function that has variable length arguments? And how would you declare the “…” ?
int a_function ( int x, … )
{
va_list a_list;
va_start( a_list, x );
}
Thanks

FUNCTION a_function(x as integer, y as integer=0, s as string="Default")
Y is optional, and if not supplied is ZERO
S is also optionald and if not supplied is the string “DEFAULT”
you can also OVERLOAD functions, but that is another discussion
So, there’s nothing like … I’d have to manually fill the variables with what I think may be needed i.e.: ?
Or only declare the int X and the rest will still be processed by the declared function?
int a_function ( int x, … )
Soft Declare a_function Lib “test.dylib” (x as integer, y as integer=0, s as string) As Integer
or
Soft Declare a_function Lib “test.dylib” (x as integer) As Integer
I think you just make several declares, one for each variant you need.
Soft Declare a_function Lib “test.dylib” (x as integer) As Integer
Soft Declare a_function Lib “test.dylib” (x as integer, y as integer) As Integer
Soft Declare a_function Lib “test.dylib” (x as integer, y as integer, s as Cstring) As Integer
Soft Declare a_function Lib “test.dylib” (x as integer, y as integer, s as Cstring, f as integer) As Integer
Like I said… OVERLOADS is a whole nother discussion…
And I think your use of “declare” is not the same as what Christian interpeted it be.
oh, sorry. I thought it was about declare statement with a C function.
Not for declaring variable parameters in Xojo, please check paramArray key word and also default parameters like Dave pointed out.
I may not have been clear on my first post, tried to be a little more clear on the second.
Anyhow, thanks for the answer.
