Being a relatively old-timer with D, I feel slightly embarassed about asking

How does one call a variadic-function in D with the variadic arguments presented
to the calling function?

: int error_log(...) {
:   return writef(...);
: }

I seem to have tried all variants of passing combinations of _argptr, _arguments
along, with no success.

Can you actually do this in D ?  

In C you woudnt, unless writef has from writef(va_list ap)
		error_log(...) 
		{ 
			writef(va_list ap); 
		}

There has to be a target method/function signature along the following
lines:



This will accept the implicit parameters _arguments and _argptr of the
calling function. I expect std.format does something like this.

Maybe this can be changed to use the newly added Box? void format( Box[] arguments ); Which means: * Box[] can be created implicitely when calling a function with ... : format(2,3,"test") will created a Box[] with 3 elements and passing it to format(...) * a Box[] can be passed to a function for the "..." my_format( ... ) { format(arguments); } L.

James, I know this isn't exactly what you asked for, but since you're going to print the error within the error_log function, it makes sense to me that it should be formatted and then printed there. So maybe the code I wrote below might do the job for your current problem. Output: --------- C:\dmd>dmd errorlog.d C:\dmd\bin\..\..\dm\bin\link.exe errorlog,,,user32+kernel32/noi; C:\dmd>errorlog error: Found 123.45, was expecting a non-floating point number. iMsgLen=63 C:\dmd> Hope you find the code useful, David L. ------------------------------------------------------------------- "Dare to reach for the Stars...Dare to Dream, Build, and Achieve!" ------------------------------------------------------------------- MKoD: http://spottedtiger.tripod.com/D_Language/D_Main_XP.html
