Variable argument list
Author
how I can pass-throught variable argument list? I would like to do something like this:
So I could do something like this:
Log(LogFile,"The object loaded have %d vertices.",num_vertex);
Log(LogFile,"Error in line %d.",num_line);
logfile:
Logged: The object loaded have 1500 vertices.
Logged: Error in line 321.
thnx
There are much better ways of doing it that unsafe variable argument lists though. Why not just overload operator<<()?

The va_list method is inheritly:
1) NOT typesafe
2) UNDEFINED with user-defined objects passed by VALUE or REFERENCE (only builtin types and pointers)
3) "C with some features" rather than C++.
Prefer to use an overloading of operator<< instead, or Boost Format.
Example:
This method is:
1) TYPESAFE. If num_vertex has it's type changed, the program will still run correctly.
2) DEFINED for user-types. If they overload operator<< they will work just fine.
3) Using boost, one of the awesomest librarys in existance.

Example:

Nothing wrong with using varargs for logging type functions. << is annoying to type. That is, the 'C++ way' isn't always so much better such that it is worthwhile to proselytize it.
