How to send variadic arguments to other function?

Of course, I can read each argument by using:
_argptr is a pointer to arguments list
_arguments is an array of argument types

But I need to straight send all variadic arguments to other function.

for example:

void func1(char [] o_str, ...){
}
void func2(int o_num, ...){
  func2("func2", /* What here? */)
}

Thanks in advance.

The way it is done in Tango is to put the implementation in a function which 
takes the _argptr and _arguments as parameters.  Then the actual variadic 
function is just a wrapper.  If you want to chain another variadic function 
to it, just pass the _argptr and _arguments.

Passing the argptr and arguments directly really should be a compiler 
supported thing, as this is all you are doing anyways.  Similar to how you 
can call opX directly.

Do you mean something like that?

import tango.io.Stdout;
void func(char[] o_char, ...){  
  Stdout(o_char, _arguments, _argptr);
}

public static int 
main(){
  int l_result = 0;
  try{
    Stdout("smile", 2, 3, 4).newline;
    func("smile", 2, 3, 4);
  }
  catch(Object o){
    l_result = 1;
    Cout(o.toString);
  }
  return l_result;
}

## result:
smile, 2, 3, 4
smile, [int, int, int], 12fe58

It would be nice if something like that was supported, which is what I said 
in the second paragraph, but what I meant in the first paragraph was 
something like this (had to dig it up from Tango):

void realfunc1(TypeInfo[] arguments, ArgList args)
{
   // function body here
}

void func1(...)
{
  realfunc1(_arguments, _argptr);
}

void func2(char[] o_char, ...)
{
    func1(o_char);
    realfunc1(_arguments, _argptr);
}

Of course, you have to know the realfunc1 function name, or else have to 
distinguish the parameters somehow.  Tango's tango.text.convert.Layout has a 
similar strategy.  There's probably a way to use Stdout to call it the way 
you want.

 function and this can not be modified.

 TResult realFunc(TResult)(char[] name, ...)


Then no, there's no way to do it unless either the library provides a 
version that takes a TypeInfo[]/va_list pair or if you have the ability to 
modify the library. 

Sivo Schilling <sivo.schilling web.de> writes:

You can do this stuff using a template function.

Example:
---
// forward variadic function arguments to builtin library functions
module fwvargs;

import std.stdio;

void vafunc(T...)(in char[] fmt, T args)
{
    writefln(fmt, args);
}

void main()
{
    vafunc("Called vafunc with argument %f", 2608.2008);
}
---
Output:
$>Called vafunc with argument 2608.200800
