Hi,

Is there an equivalent to vfprintf(const char *fmt, , va_list ap) in D?

If you're dealing with C variadics, then your going to need to use C functions. D doesn't just recreate C functions (at least, the standard library doesn't). C functions get wrapped when doing so adds some benefit, but with something like this, there's no reason to. If you're using typesafe variadics void func(int[] arr...) then you can just pass the array to the next function. If you're using D-style variadics (which are similar to C variadics but include type information), maybe there is, I don't know. Probably. I never use them. However, the typical thing to do in D is to use variadic templates. That's what writefln does. void func(Args...)(Args args) And with that, you can just pass the arguments on to another function. http://dlang.org/function.html http://dlang.org/template.html - Jonathan M Davis

And if your intention was to specifically pass on arguments to writefln, then you can just do it, since it's a variadic template. void myWritefln(Args...)(Args args) { writefln(args); } But if you're looking to specifically pass on a C variadic, then use C's vfprintf. - Jonathan M Davis

[...] You don't need one. You can just write: void myWritelnWrapper(T...)(T args) { ... // insert your own processing here, modify args // if you like, etc. writeln(args); } T -- Life would be easier if I had the source code. -- YHL

Thanks Jonathan and Teoh. I just have to pass the var args in my function to
writefln and Variadic templates is the right solution for me.
