Variadic Macros

Since variadic macros are not available as part of the C89 and C++98 specifications, having the variadic macros flag disabled assumes no support for variadic macros and defines an alternative set of macros for each macro that would otherwise accept variadic arguments.

In other words, a macro documented as RX_DO_DOMETHING(fixed_arg, ...) translates in fact to set of macros suffixed with the number of variadic arguments such as:

• RX_DO_DOMETHING(fixed_arg).
• RX_DO_DOMETHING_1(fixed_arg, var_arg_1).
• RX_DO_DOMETHING_2(fixed_arg, var_arg_1, var_arg_2).
• ...
• RX_DO_DOMETHING_N(fixed_arg, var_arg_1, var_arg_2, ..., var_arg_n).

Note: The set of macros suffixed with a number is available whether the variadic macros flag is enabled or not in order to provide a compatibility layer between the two modes if needed. The only difference comes from the base macro RX_DO_DOMETHING being defined with variadic arguments or only fixed arguments otherwise.

Examples of such macros can be found in the framework and as part of the assertion macros.
