    Making proper wrappers.

    Hope this isn't a stupid question, but Im trying to make a proper wrapper for printf.

    I get the proper output doing the following:
    Code:
    text.hprintf("test\n");
    The output is:
    Code:
    test
    But I get a wierd output if I do:
    Code:
    text.hprintf("test\n%i", 123456789);
    The output is:
    Code:
    test
    1244892
    Here's the small source.

    main.cpp
    Code:
    //Alot of these includes are not used.
    //Most will be used in the future.
    #include <cstdlib>
    #include <fstream>
    #include <iostream>
    #include <fstream>
    #include <windows.h>
    #include <cstring>
    #include <time.h>
    #include "output.h"
    
    CTextOutput text;
    
    int main(){
    	char omfg;
    	int i = 0;
    	while(1){
    		if(i==0)
    		text.hprintf("test\n%i", 123456789);
    		std::cin>>omfg;
    		i=1;
    		}
    	return 0;
    }
    output.h
    Code:
    #ifndef OUTPUT_H
    #define OUTPUT_H
    
    class CTextOutput
    	{
    
    	private:
    	
    	public:
    
    	int hprintf(const char* string, ...);
    	int haprintf(const char* string, ...);
    
    	};
    
    #endif
    output.cpp
    Code:
    #include <cstdlib>
    #include <iostream>
    #include <fstream>
    #include <windows.h>
    #include <string>
    #include <cstring>
    #include <time.h>
    #include "output.h"
    
    int CTextOutput::hprintf(const char* string, ...)
    {
    printf(string);
    return 0;
    }
    int CTextOutput::haprintf(const char* string, ...)
    {
    printf("<<: ");
    printf(string);
    return 0;
    }
    This was my attempt at a custom wrapper. Any ideas?

    1. my first question: why bother? use iostream class.

    2. baring that, you need to use functions and macros in STDARG.H to access the optional parameters. See MSDN for example program.

    7. It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one.
    40. There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third one works.*
