Thread: passing on printf()-style params?

I'm using allegro to make a few troubleshooting functions. allegro_message() takes printf()-style parameters, right? So can I build a function that instead of working like this:

Code:

void message(string str) {
    allegro_message("%s",str.c_str());
}

works like this:

Code:

void message( ...printf()-style params...) {
    allegro_message( ...same params, all at once...);
}

This would be super slick because then the calls to message() would be much simpler. thx

I realize that this has been answered in the past, I was just hoping that since there was only one big parameter and I was only passing it along, not messing around, this solution would be simpler.(?)

You can also use vfprintf(), saving you a whole one line of code (bypassing vsprintf())
