If your compiler supports __VA_ARGS__
, you can do it like this:
#include <stdio.h>
#define NUM_ARGS__(X, \
N64,N63,N62,N61,N60, \
N59,N58,N57,N56,N55,N54,N53,N52,N51,N50, \
N49,N48,N47,N46,N45,N44,N43,N42,N41,N40, \
N39,N38,N37,N36,N35,N34,N33,N32,N31,N30, \
N29,N28,N27,N26,N25,N24,N23,N22,N21,N20, \
N19,N18,N17,N16,N15,N14,N13,N12,N11,N10, \
N09,N08,N07,N06,N05,N04,N03,N02,N01, N, ...) N
#define NUM_ARGS(...) \
NUM_ARGS__(0, __VA_ARGS__, \
64,63,62,61,60, \
59,58,57,56,55,54,53,52,51,50, \
49,48,47,46,45,44,43,42,41,40, \
39,38,37,36,35,34,33,32,31,30, \
29,28,27,26,25,24,23,22,21,20, \
19,18,17,16,15,14,13,12,11,10, \
9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0)
#define PRINT_STRING_1(var) \
{ if (!(var)) {} }
#define PRINT_STRING_2(var, ...) \
{ if (!(var)) test(__VA_ARGS__); }
#define PRINT_STRINGN__(N, ...) \
PRINT_STRING_##N(__VA_ARGS__)
#define PRINT_STRINGN(N, ...) \
PRINT_STRINGN__(N, __VA_ARGS__)
#define PRINT_STRING(...) \
PRINT_STRINGN(NUM_ARGS(__VA_ARGS__), __VA_ARGS__)
void test(char* var2)
{
printf("%s\n", var2);
}
int main(void)
{
PRINT_STRING(1);
PRINT_STRING(0, "Hello, World!");
PRINT_STRING(1, "You can't see me!");
return 0;
}
Output:
Hello, World!
