Depending on what you're after, you might find that the __noop
intrinsic will help you out.


#ifdef _DEBUG
void _MyDebugPrintf(const char* fmt, ...);
#define DPF _MyDebugPrintf
#else
#define DPF __noop
#endif

// later, ...

	DPF("%s %s this works", FuncA(), FuncB());

FuncA and FuncB (or parameters in general) are not evaluated
in non _DEBUG builds.  The compiler ignores the statement.

This is obviously not variadic macros, but you can do quite a
bit with it.
