Re: [Dev-C++] #define a "function" with variable number of parameters

[Per W. <pw...@ia...>]

But then again - do _not ever_ use a vendor-specific extension unless you
are _absolutely 100% sure_ that the code need _never ever_ be ported to a
different compiler.

Until the official standard have incorporated __VA_ARGS__ support (and
more than one vendor have implemented it according to the standard), it
really should not be used.

Given the billions of lines of existing code without use of __VA_ARGS__,
it really isn't such an important function that it is worth it to ignore
the current language standard.
