variables arg with v_arg and v_next

[aloberoger]

since v_arg and va_next support the VARIANT , why not to allow the writing of varaint in parameter? like in C or C++


exemple:

Code: Select all

Function OLEMethod Cdecl (nType  As Integer,pvResult as VARIANT Ptr,pDisp as IDispatch Ptr,ptName As LPOLESTR ,cArgs As Integer=0, ...) As HRESULT
  ......
end function

'usage: 


'now:           
               Dim As VARIANT x
		x.vt = VT_I4
		x.lVal = nSize
		m_hr=OLEMethod(DISPATCH_PROPERTYPUT, NULL, pFont, OLESTR("Size"), 1, @x)


'request:   
    m_hr=OLEMethod(DISPATCH_PROPERTYPUT, NULL, pFont, OLESTR("Size"), 1, x)

I think variants are deprecated ourdays. I don't know if you've noticed, but va_... stuff is not exactly as C in FB. If I remember well the last item for instance when calling next successively, is not known. Unless this is also the case in C?

If true then windows is deprecated too, at least for most sharing tasks
