Hi.
I have the following code:
void f(Args...)(Args args) {
   needs_wchar_t(args);
}

I want to loop over Args, and if it's a string of some type, I want to run  
it through toUTFz. For all other values, I just want to push them as  
normal.
How could I solve this?

With a loop? void f(Args...)(Args args) { foreach(i, T; Args) { static if (isSomeString!T) args[i] = toUTFz(args[i]); } needs_wchar_t(args); }

toUTFz returns a pointer, the isSomeString checks if a type is a string. IOW that will try to assign a pointer to a string. But I don't understand the OPs requirements, what type does 'needs_wchar_t' take? A wchar*? A wchar**? Variadic arguments? Or something else?

A variadic C function: extern(C) void someFormatting(wchar_t* format, ...) But I get some unexpected results.. wchar_t is defined as dchar on linux and wchar on windows, but it seems to only work with utf8.. Sending in wchar or dchar prints only the first characted as I guess it just see \0 at the next. I'll have to look at the original source in case it has some strange typedefs.
