Question 15.13

How can I call a function with an argument list built up at run time?


There is no guaranteed or portable way to do this. If you're curious, however, this list's editor has a few wacky ideas you could try...

Instead of an actual argument list, you might consider passing an array of generic (void *) pointers. The called function can then step through the array, much like main() might step through argv. (Obviously this works only if you have control over all the called functions.)
