Subject: [Caml-list] Binding C libraries which use variable arguments  (stdarg.h)
Date: Wed, 28 Oct 2009 23:07:49 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <666572260910281507q74cb1c1at157c9e3c86070c69@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi,

I am currently trying to bind a C function that takes variables
arguments, like foo(int a, ...). I can't find how to make a C stub for
that function.

I found camlidl didn't support idl's "vararg" keyword and pidl (p
stands for perl) didn't either. I was told to try libffi but it
doesn't support varargs unfortunately. I also thought about doing it
by hand but that's not the best idea for portability.

Any other idea? Hint^WPointer? (sorry for the bad joke ;-) )

Thanks.


PS: I was also told I was toast
